The Sandro tweed skirt in black. It’s a great pleated skirt that doesn’t make me feel like a school girl, despite the pleat and the length. I’m about 5’5ish so it’s not particularly short on me. Very comfortable, workhorse skirt for the office. I usually oscillate between 4 and 6 for size but i alwaysContinue reading “Pleated Tweed Skirt”

Ismene Dress
Very comfortable and flattering dress. The back has smocking so it’s got plenty of stretch and is quite comfortable. Having said that, the vibe felt quite young and I do feel like this is the kind of style you can really get anywhere for much less. I do like the details like the little rufflesContinue reading “Ismene Dress”
Ingrid Top
To be honest, as soon as I saw myself in the mirror, I thought “French male aristocrat in the 18th century”. I looked up the item on the brand’s website and it looks almost styled like pajamas. I think maybe this would look great on someone who is very long and lean with cigarette pantsContinue reading “Ingrid Top”
Henri Top
This is a top where you can really clearly see the difference between the model and me… It looks so elegant and bohemian in the product pic but I look like I’m playing flower girl dress up. Definitely not my style. Having said that, I do like the ruffle details and the fabric is reallyContinue reading “Henri Top”
Nerida Top
Very cute knit top. It’s a good basic to have. I tried on M where normally I would’ve probably tried S but I think DOEN runs slightly smaller to size in my view. I didn’t get this top because it was pretty see-through and I couldn’t think of an occasion where I would wear aContinue reading “Nerida Top”
Olympe Cuff
I’m so in love. It’s actually not super heavy so definitely wearable for every day wear. I struggled a little bit in the beginning to put it on but once I figured out how to slip it on, it was easy. There’s a bunch of colors available and I’m already eyeing another one. Totally recommendContinue reading “Olympe Cuff”
Fits Everybody Long Slip Dress
do ppl really find this dress to be comfy?? i normally wear m but this one is a large and it wasn’t easy to wear this dress over my head. the fabric is definitely thicker than i would’ve expected at this price so it does hide the lumps and bumps but 1) i felt veryContinue reading “Fits Everybody Long Slip Dress”
Ecru Tennis Skirt
First purchase from Claudie Pierlot. I like the sporty look of the skirt but it definitely wrinkles easily (as is clearly visible in my picture). I tried both the S and M but funnily enough I preferred the flare of the M where it was a little bit more visible. It’s elastic waist too soContinue reading “Ecru Tennis Skirt”
Daniela Silk Dress
Ugh I LOVE THIS DRESS! Such a classic! The fabric was also glorious (silk). This is very high on my potential shopping list for a formal event. True to size and I like that while formfitting, it wasn’t like a clinging dress that shows all the lumps and bumps. It is quite long though soContinue reading “Daniela Silk Dress”
Travel Tailoring Swing Top
Can’t figure out what it is but something is just a tad off. It looks rather frumpy on me although maybe it’s because I paired with the culottes so it just looks odd. Maybe with skinny jeans or some sort of streamlined bottom it would look better…? Not sure but not for me. I’m wearingContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Swing Top”
Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top
To be honest, not a fan. I think the swing silhouette isn’t really for me – I like having more fitted styles especially around the waist which is most flattering for me. I also don’t like that my so-called t-shirt bra is still visible. Fabric is nice, I’m wearing my usual size (size 4). JustContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top”
Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress
I thought this dress was really nice but it was hard to see what occasion I would wear this at. I would imagine this could be really nice resortwear perhaps but I didn’t think I could pull it off. I definitely think this hews to the Me + Em ethos of you kind of haveContinue reading “Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress”
Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt
Oh. No. Just no. I feel like you have to be very long and lean to pull this off. I look like I’m wearing a highly elaborate Amish nightgown. The collar conceptually looks cool but it looks puerile on me. The print is really beautiful, however, I truly struggle how one can pay $500 forContinue reading “Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt”
Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte
I’m not a pants person but I wanted to try these on and I loved it! They’re elastic so super comfortable. I generally struggle with pants and their length but I actually love this look. The reason why I ended up not getting these is because I don’t quite have the right tops to pullContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte”
Marin Dress
I’m 168cm and 58kg. Size 38 (US 6) is a bit snug; I probably should have sized up to be more comfortable. I have two other Gabin dresses in 38 and they are fine but I would suggest sizing up in this style. Rouje in general does run a little small.ALLY Shoes,8,$325,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Emerging Designers,Pumps,Shoes,Size 8Continue reading “Marin Dress”
Gabin Dress
I‘m 168cm and 58kg. I have two of the Gabin dresses and I love the cut. Size 38 is the perfect size (note: Sezane tends to run large, Maje runs small, and Rouje in between depending on the item). My usual size is 36 in tops and 38 in bottoms.Rouje,size 6,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Size 6 All Reviews,Rouje
Jacques Jacket
So I REALLY like this jacket! It’s made of a fairly thick fabric and seemed to be well-constructed. I like the oversize fit. I’m wearing a 38 (usually wear 36 on tops but will sometimes size up for jackets) and I think this is the right size. The shoulders are usually tough for me butContinue reading “Jacques Jacket”
Raquel Dress
I call this the safari dress – I don’t know why but it looks like something one would wear on a safari 😀 Anyways, I definitely think I should’ve sized up because the chest area was definitely too tight. I liked the shape of it and the fabric was this interestingly soft and shiny fabricContinue reading “Raquel Dress”
