this is another dress that i saw online and really coveted but turned out to not be what i imagined in my head. the beaded straps are nice but not really adjustable. it’s unfortunate as the straps were just an inch too long so my girls didn’t feel very supported. also, the large beads wereContinue reading “Pink Delicate Fruit Garden Organic Cotton Midi Dress”

Blue Tile Dream Sleeveless Maxi Dress
almost bit the bullet on this one. ultimately decided not to because the straps wouldn’t tighten anymore and i felt like i needed a little bit more support in the bust area. but this print is definitely super versatile and could be a good summer dress. it was very comfortable as well. just didn’t wantContinue reading “Blue Tile Dream Sleeveless Maxi Dress”
Orange Chic Pears Organic Cotton Mini Dress
super fun dress! i like that the dress has ties at the straps so it’s adjustable to your needs. i wasn’t a particular fan of this particular print but i might go for another pattern in the same shape. i did appreciate that the color does line up pretty well with the print you seeContinue reading “Orange Chic Pears Organic Cotton Mini Dress”
Yellow Delicate Fruit Garden Organic Cotton Mini Dress
i’ve been hankering after this dress for weeks. i got a bunch of instagram ads from this brand and i saw this particular dress. i have to say, it was a bit of a letdown… i think it was the combo of too much bright color, bold print, and the ruffles is just overwhleming. also,Continue reading “Yellow Delicate Fruit Garden Organic Cotton Mini Dress”
Pierro Shirt
Pierro shirt that is no longer available online but lots of other prints are. Runs true to size. It’s a little sheer but pink/nude undergarments, you should be fine.Sezane,size 10,$125,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,Size 10,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Satin Effect Floral Skirt
Pretty print but that was about it. The fabric definitely felt very cheap – it’s 100% viscose. There were also these waist tie strings that I couldn’t quite figure out. I think it’s a decent skirt but I honestly would not buy it unless it was deeply discounted. I would also size up in thisContinue reading “Satin Effect Floral Skirt”
Long Satin-Effect Ruffled Skirt
So I like the idea behind this design with the slit up the leg. However, I found the fabric to look and feel super cheap. The website doesn’t specify the fabric but honestly it doesn’t really matter because it looked and felt like cheap polyester. I definitely wouldn’t pay a lot of money for this.Maje,sizeContinue reading “Long Satin-Effect Ruffled Skirt”
Short Button-Up Dress
This is such a classic Maje dress! I feel like this is their signature style. Lovely and elegant dress. I prefer a slightly more fitted look but this is a great option for a nice night out or the office. It was also very easy to put on which is a nice bonus. I thoughtContinue reading “Short Button-Up Dress”
Striped Shirt Dress
This one was a little odd. I thought it was going to be a wrap shirt dress with a cinched waist which usually is flattering for me. This one was … weird. I didn’t like that that the tie was clearly the arms of a shirt, it just looked a tad bizarre. Sizing is fine,Continue reading “Striped Shirt Dress”
Striped Shirt Dress
Cute dress but there was a weird construction nuance – the top was quite baggy but the skirt in the lower waist area was tight. I think the look like that they were going for was “french tucked shirt and fitted skirt” which is clever but it probably requires a very specific body shape forContinue reading “Striped Shirt Dress”
High-Waist Airlift Legging
i saw some reviews online that disparaged these leggings and these have been a true staple in my closet for the last year! i got these leggings not just to work out but also to wear around the house/errands. i found the fabric to be really durable. i probably wash these leggings in the machineContinue reading “High-Waist Airlift Legging”
Knit Maxi Dress
I was on the fence about this dress. Shape was great, and the knit fabric was lovely – it hugged all the right spots and made me feel sexy but also elegant. However, I think the buttons all the way up to the neck made me feel like a priest. I tried opening the buttonsContinue reading “Knit Maxi Dress”
Matchmaker Mini Dress
Very whimsical. I would totally wear this to a wedding or some other fancy formal event. The bust area might be challenging for smaller ladies because it is kind of hard to fill it out. I was also really surprised to see pockets. Gorgeous dress, perfect for a garden wedding or summer shower or something.Continue reading “Matchmaker Mini Dress”
Waverly Shirt Playsuit
Luxury pajamas. I think that sums up this playsuit. To be fair, the fabric which is 100% silk truly felt like heaven on my skin. It was extremely comfortable and as is Zimmerman’s custom, the print is really a standout. It is quite see-through so definitely don’t wear black underwear. Just FYI, I didn’t findContinue reading “Waverly Shirt Playsuit”
Tranquility Mini Dress
To call this dress stunning does not do it justice. It’s made out of this really beautiful linen fabric with the most glorious print. I really fell in love with it but the price tag and the fact that it’s not really versatile jolted me back to reality. I couldn’t really picture myself wearing thisContinue reading “Tranquility Mini Dress”
Knit Midi Dress
Love the shape of the dress but I think the color is really unforgiving. The drape and fabric are all lovely but you really need have truly seamless undewear and any lumps/bumps are visible. Also, I love that the brand website says “midi” but on my 5’6 frame, it is most definitely a maxi dress.Continue reading “Knit Midi Dress”
Strappy Sandals
I never tried buying shoes from Sandro before but I saw these in the store and as soon as I tried them on, I was done! It comes in white and I tried those on but honestly white just didn’t seem practical for someone who lives in NYC so I settled for black. The lowContinue reading “Strappy Sandals”
Pink Striped Shirt
I knew the design of this shirt was meant to be oversized but I have no idea how to style something like this. Does one tuck it in…? It just felt like I was wearing a massive men’s shirt. This is definitely a pass for me…Maje,size S,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Size S Maje
