Splurged for my birthday! What a treat! I got the black because I thought that was going to be the easiest to match with my clothing. A few things to note: – the bag close is kind of annoying if you’re always taking things in and out. i usually leave mine open which probably isn’tContinue reading “Herbag Zip 31 bag”

Short Ruffled Dress
Love this dress! I thought the shape was super flattering. I would probably add another button at the neckline to make it work appropriate because it is a little bit too cleavage-y. I was astonished at the price (more than $450) which I thought was kind of crazy for a Maje dress that was madeContinue reading “Short Ruffled Dress”
Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater
Putting this top on my wishlist. I didn’t like it enough to buy outright especially at the price ($175 seemed a tad steep for a basic top). I like the sweetheart neckline but it is quite wide so wearing a regular bra might be a challenge. Actually that was part of the reason why I didn’tContinue reading “Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater”
Maude Rib Knit Top
I wanted a classic short sleeve knit top – nothing complicated. However, something about this fit seemed a little off. I do have fairly broad shoulders but this really didn’t feel like it flattered my upper body. It made my shoulders look really broad and also rounded if that makes sense…? Something just looked ratherContinue reading “Maude Rib Knit Top”
Short Patterned Knit Dress
I ALMOST bit the bullet on this one. I thought the shape was super flattering. Love the square neck and the fabric is thick enough to hide lumps and bumps but stretchy enough that it’s quite comfortable. I also really liked the flared skirt but it was a bit TOO flared, if that makes sense.Continue reading “Short Patterned Knit Dress”
Short Knit Dress
I have some knit dresses from Maje and this one was a total miss. The fabric was not the really nice quality knit that I’m used to. Honestly it felt like really cheap fabric that you would get from Zara or Forever 21 (RIP). As a result, the shape was not flattering at all. Also,Continue reading “Short Knit Dress”
Short Sequinned Skater Skirt
Very fun skirt. It’s a stiff fabric so it keeps the flare. The elastic is pretty strong so this may not be comfortable for some ladies but it was fine for me. Flattering silhouette but not something I would wear very often. I also feel like I have too many fit/flare skirts in my closetContinue reading “Short Sequinned Skater Skirt”
Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar
Ugh, this shirt felt like a DREAM! Such beautiful fabric, so soft on the body… TOO BAD IT’S TOTALLY SEE-THROUGH! Honestly, I never understand brands that make these shirts that are completely sheer because now I have to go find another tank top that is just as delicate as the shirt. I also think thatContinue reading “Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar”
Short Draped Dress
Nice dress but one of those styles where it’s hard to envision wearing it on many occasions. I like the sheer sleeves and I like that the decolletage area isn’t sheer so it’s a little bit more modest but honestly it just felt too much like a young woman’s party dress. Not something I couldContinue reading “Short Draped Dress”
Nicoise Pumps
Got size 36 which is my normal size (US 5). Note – They are extremely narrow. The leather is good quality but’s it’s quite soft, so if you go for more stiff look they might not be for you. I attach the picture of my pair but I do have very narrow feet (you canContinue reading “Nicoise Pumps”
Christie Jacket
I decided to spoil myself and buy the Christie jacket. I am so in love with it! I usually wear a size 34 (Im 1.70 tall), but I think on this one I could have gone up one size to maybe have a bit more sleeve length. I’m wearing it with the Brut Sexy (alsoContinue reading “Christie Jacket”
SR4051 Black Parma
I LOOOOVE them and will wear them forever – they are soooo comfortable and classic. I bought this in person at their store – they only have one, near Saint Germain in Paris. They are pretty true to size, I took a 39.5 (my usual). The brand’s vibe is very much The Row without TheContinue reading “SR4051 Black Parma”
Jady Cardigan
For reference, I’m 160 cm and 55 kg. Jady is like 2/10 on the itchiness scale! I can wear it on bare arms with no problems.Sezane,size S,,5’1-5’2 5’1-5’2,Size S All Reviews,Sezane
Aubry Tank
For reference, I’m 160 cm and 55 kg. I’ll be returning this – too much fabric for my short torso. The fabric is nice though – a blend of wool and lyocell.Sezane,size M,,5’1-5’2 5’1-5’2,Size M All Reviews,Sezane
Amiel Jumper
VERY warm. Gonna wear it around the house to decide whether to return. I’m wearing size S. It’s like 4 out of 10 itchy. Certainly itchier than my Jady, I’ve been sitting in Amiel with a t-shirt underneath for a couple of hours and the itch around my elbows and neck has been bugging me,Continue reading “Amiel Jumper”
Bree Jumper, Amy Loafer
Amy Loafer (size 8): I really like them. I get so many compliments. I wear an 8 and these are a little big without socks in the size 8 so they run a little big. Bree Jumper (size XS): got this in XS (the small looked frumpy on me). The fabric is cotton so it’sContinue reading “Bree Jumper, Amy Loafer”
Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps
These were a birthday gift to myself. I LOVE these shoes. They’re so sexy and classy. I usually wear a size 7.5 but like I do for all designer shoes, I sized up to 8 (EU 38) just in case. I will say that they’re not the most comfortable. After a few hours in theContinue reading “Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps”
Pleated Tweed Skirt
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”
