Fun fact – I have never worn a button-down shirt in about 10 years. They always gape at the chest and tends to be very boxy and masculine. I really liked the neckline of this one since it doesn’t have a button at the top and it gives a very feminine vibe. I tried onContinue reading “Amelia Button-Down Shirt in White”

Laurent Embroidered Blouse
Oh this blouse is a work of art! Obviously meant to be worn with a camisole underneath but I wasn’t bothered when trying in the fitting room. The detailed embroidery is so pretty and delicate. Ended up not getting it because it felt a bit “out there” for the office. I got the S whichContinue reading “Laurent Embroidered Blouse”
Truman Mini Skirt
Super cute mini skirt! Was a little worried that the length would be too short but I actually think it’s pretty workable. I ended up not getting it because I already have another skirt that’s quite similar and at almost $400, didn’t think it was necessary. There’s no stretch but it’s pretty true to size.Continue reading “Truman Mini Skirt”
Suzette Blouse
First time shopping from this brand. I have to say, I’m a total sucker for puffed sleeves and this brand has oh so many! Fabric is nice and light and the sleeves aren’t ridiculously over-the-top. Great for spring/summer with denim or shorts. Will definitely get more summer staples from them. I usually wear a 4Continue reading “Suzette Blouse”
Ava Blouse
I’ve been eyeing this brand for some time now. I specifically saw this blouse on an ad and thought it was beautiful. Still think it’s beautiful but teh main problem that I had was it was super see-through. Granted, probably should’ve tried with a nude bra but given just how thin the fabric is andContinue reading “Ava Blouse”
Michelle
I had never bought anything from Bobbies but was recommended by a friend. I saw the brand pic of these and immediately ordered them. I waited with such anticipation that when I opened the box, talk about disappointment! They were so much clunkier and … inelegant than what the product picture suggested. The block heelContinue reading “Michelle”
Tyler Silk Blouse
L’Agence has their signature silk blouses in the most whimsical, fun prints. The shape is lovely. The only thing that bothered me is that it felt quite sheer (probably should not wear a black bra when trying on blouses! A nude bra was probably the better choice). This was one of many prints they haveContinue reading “Tyler Silk Blouse”
Brooke Open-Front Blazer
OK, I’m totally in love. I think I may have found the perfect blazer! This has the exact feminine shape that I’ve been searching for. I love that it gives you that sort of cinched look instead of the boxy menswear style that seems to be so in vogue. I got a size 6 –Continue reading “Brooke Open-Front Blazer”
Pull Jynx in Black
Just a standard black top. I liked the details on it but the fabric didn’t feel particularly great. I liked the buttons, the boat neck, the lines… But for $325, I would rather buy something on sale at Sandro and Maje which has similarly lovely details but can be had for much cheaper. Looks likeContinue reading “Pull Jynx in Black”
Domi Midi Skirt
I got a 36 which I think translates to a Small. This was a weird one. I could see what they were trying to do with the asymmetry but it turned out to be just a really awkward length on me. Also, the fabric quality was really thin and cheap-feeling. Definitely didn’t feel like aContinue reading “Domi Midi Skirt”
Dalenda Midi Skirt
This is definitely not really my kind of style but I thought the print was beautiful. Very eye-catching. I also loved the fabric-covered buttons and the slit which was a very lovely feminine touch. However, it’s 100% viscose and it definitely doesn’t feel like the best quality. I also didn’t love it enough at thisContinue reading “Dalenda Midi Skirt”
Clovia Dress
Oh my god, this is NOT cute on me. It’s mildly better with heels but damn, does it make me look like I’m matronly! The fabric is nice and soft but that’s about the only positive. I imagine this style probably looks for women who are ultra willowy or maybe have a smaller bust? SmallContinue reading “Clovia Dress”
Keyla Cardigan in Ecru, Clarine Skirt in Denim, Paula Babies in Polished Camel
Keyla Cardigan: I haven’t seen anyone talked about this 100% organic cotton cardi on this sub yet? It’s my go-to spring top right now. The v-neckline is very flattering, and the crochet finish is simply feminine. I like pairing it with jeans and skirts, and it instantly elevates the look. It is very delicate, soContinue reading “Keyla Cardigan in Ecru, Clarine Skirt in Denim, Paula Babies in Polished Camel”
Angelie Cardigan
I bought it when I first discovered sezane but immediately returned it due to its itchiness and sizing (thought I needed a large but I was swimming in it). I couldn’t get over this color and the knit detail though so gave it another try as soon as it came back in stock and sizedContinue reading “Angelie Cardigan”
Clyde Trench Coat
One of my favorite purchases from Sezane. I did wish I had sized down to at least EU40 or 38 (bought 42) but since I bought it as soon as it came out, every size was sold out so I didn’t exchange. For reference, I generally wear US 10-12. I’ve worn it a bunch ofContinue reading “Clyde Trench Coat”
Ellie Boots
I wear them with thick socks otherwise they’re roomy. I bought these boots during the sales and I’ve been wearing them all winter. Really nice shoes!Bobbies,Shoe Size 7.5,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Booties,French Brands,Shoe Size 7.5,Shoes All Reviews,Bobbies
Paula Babies
I got the Paula babies in burgundy, they’re not very summery but the color is just gorgeous. I haven’t worn them outdoors but they are more comfortable than I thought they would be. I am in between sizes like 37,5 and 38 and I got the 38 which fits nicely.Sezane,,, 5’5-5’6,Flats,French Brands,Shoes,Shoes Size 7.5 AllContinue reading “Paula Babies”
Dorotha Dress
I got my usual size (36). The one thing that bugs me is that the seams don’t line up but I have a weakness for summer dresses.Sezane,4,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size 4 All Reviews,Sezane
