  • Are These Sneakers Actually Super? A Golden Goose Review

    Are These Sneakers Actually Super? A Golden Goose Review

    It took me 3 years to make my Adidas Stan Smith sneakers look loved (read: distressed). Whereas it took 3 days to get my order and 3 seconds to take my Golden Goose sneakers out of the box and have them look already loved (hint: they’re pre-distressed). … but without those 3 years of loving…

  • Is this 14kt Gold Jewelry Worth It? | A Mejuri Review

    Is this 14kt Gold Jewelry Worth It? | A Mejuri Review

    This isn’t sponsored, FYI. … and I make a point of saying that because Mejuri seems to send a lot of jewelry to bloggers/influencers. These pieces of Mejuri jewelry that I will review were purchased during their “only sale of the year;” their Black Friday sale (which actually started on a Wednesday, if you want…

  • Mini, but mighty | Loewe Flamenco Bag Review

    Mini, but mighty | Loewe Flamenco Bag Review

    During lockdown, my then-boyfriend/now-husband asked what I thought about buying a ranch in Montana and I was like “uhhh…” … but then I was like “well, I always wanted to take up gardening.” By “take up gardening,” I mean buy potted flowers, realise I did not dig the hole big enough, pathetically plant them, try…

    Shake your hips | RIXO dress SIZING and quality review

    I’ve been thinking a lot about how to start my RIXO dress review… I’ve been deliberating writing about what makes an A+ summer dress. I’ve been wavering about starting it with a ramble about who’s behind the label. … but, this is the best way to kick off this review:

  • Is it TOO small? | APC Demi Lune Mini bag review

    Is it TOO small? | APC Demi Lune Mini bag review

    Band of Outsiders and Marc by Marc Jacobs came and went… but, one brand from that delectable 2005-2008 era holds true in our heart and remains in stores: Atelier de Production et de Création. … i.e., A.P.C. So, over a decade later, it makes sense that I’d finally get A.P.C.’s signature bag.

  • So NOT a jewelry person, but… | Mateo jewelry review

    So NOT a jewelry person, but… | Mateo jewelry review

    My gold-plated hoops and vintage earrings might say otherwise, but… I’m not a jewelry person. Sure, I’ll get a Tiffany bangle engraved for my mother as a Christmas gift or, along with my husband, surprise my sister with a Cartier Love bracelet after she officiated our wedding. However, for me, personally? Expensive jewelry is too…

  • Go on, pants me | a Frame Le Cut Off denim shorts review

    Go on, pants me | a Frame Le Cut Off denim shorts review

    Do you ever feel like sometimes your denim cut-offs are too casual? Like, you need something more pulled together? Anyways, sometimes I want to look like my life is in order (and that apparently starts by getting non-frayed shorts). With no tears or rips, Frame’s “Le Cutoff” cuffed denim shorts should be the ultimate not…

  • Debunking THE Instagram shoe | Chanel Dad Sandals review

    Debunking THE Instagram shoe | Chanel Dad Sandals review

    From the OTT “new Bottega” bunch, the bisou Paris vintage crowd, the Scandi norm-core pack, even the #CottageCore crowd, everyone on Instagram dresses the same. While I will moan and complain about how Instagram ruined personal style, I still got sucked in and bought a pair of the most Instagrammy ~influencer~ shoes that transcends every…

  • They can just Falke off | a Falke Tights Review

    They can just Falke off | a Falke Tights Review

    OK, so I ordered Falke tights from Shopbop and they arrived with a hole in them. Kinda weird and definitely annoying, right? What’s more strange and even more frustrating is Shopbop would only refund me if I sent them back. So, I did something I’m not proud of and asked the customer service rep to…

  • Tights that’ll keep you in check | a SPANX tights review

    Tights that’ll keep you in check | a SPANX tights review

    If you’re like me, winter ushers a chilly snow cloud over your days… From accidentally eating dinner at 5:00pm (because it’s dark out) to generally feeling blergh (because you ate dinner at 5), winter sucks. … and if you’re like me, wearing tights that compress your legs & abdomen is winter’s only silver lining. After…
