Trying to stay warm out here | Max Mara coat review
Maybe it’s because I’m a Cancer that I cling to the past. … but, I had this beautiful camel coloured peacoat that was given to me as a hand-me-down as a child from a family friend with impeccable taste. It had oversized lapels, horn buttons, and it fit me to a T. I wore it…

Trust me, I have 3 of ’em | my Burberry Trench Coat Review
Over the last decade, there is 1 coat that I consistently wear. … well, 3 to be exact — my Burberry trench coats.

Still Worth It?: My Rag & Bone Jeans Review ft. Quality & Sizing Tips
In 2011, Rag & Bone got my attention with their DIY ad campaigns. I was going through a massive Kings of Leon obsession and their Lily Aldridge campaign pulled me in.

I wore it for 6 days straight: A Naadam Cashmere Sweater Review
By now, you may have heard about Naadam and their cashmere. In case you haven’t, basically their whole “thing” is basically being mindful of social impact and the environment.

Beat the heat | Matteau dress review
My style in Panamá has changed significantly since I first moved here in 2016.
