Return to comfort | Hermès Chypre Sandals Review
After the last 3 years, I’m apprehensive, but excited, that “everything” is quietly, yet quickly, returning to a “new” normal. Clean t-shirts? Sounds refreshing! Pants that aren’t sweatpants?

The only Chanel classic flap handbag review you need to read
From high school graduation (pre-absurd price hikes) to graduating college (mid-price hikes) and turning 30 (just before the ridiculous price increase), a Chanel Classic Handbag has marked hallmarks in my life. … but when they start at $8,200 $9,600 USD, I cannot say that you need a Chanel flap bag.

Every detail including latest prices & fit | Chanel Ballet Flats review

What I bought this week: Glossier Deodorant
Item(s): Glossier Deodorant in You, Orange Blossom Neroli, and Sandstone. Reason: I (accidentally) switched to natural deodorant in 2021.

Loeffler Randall Balet Flats Review: They’re out of step
When I was 4, I dropped out of jazz ballet school after 2 seasons. My heart just wasn’t in it. … maybe it was something about being similar to an organized recreational sport. … or, maybe if there’d been tutus, I’d be on stage at Lincoln Center — actually, I probably wouldn’t; I’m too old […]

Reason: I’m actually not sure why I bought a new hair brush. … especially because, at $30, I think it’s the most expensive hair brush I’ve ever owned.
