Turn back time: Styling the best of 2000s today
Sometimes, most times, I get insanely nostalgic for the simple life… The days before we had to deal with existential dread over Apple’s Vision Pro Display XDR TV+ (or whatever it’s called) and where the only technology issue you had was if you had enough minutes left on your Sony Ericsson W800 and if your…

Unpopular opinion: Hermès’ Bride-a-Brac makes a perfectly good handbag
I’m the first person to give an unpopular opinion. … and if someone gives an unpopular opinion, I’m the first to challenge it. Basically, I live in a realm of being a confused contrarian… or something like that. In an Hermès haze, I’ve been perusing a lot of sites lately about this historic house. Imagine…

Embrace comfort, stylishly | my Alaïa Shoe Review
I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum the type of “grown up” who effortlessly waltzes around wherever in high heels. Hair that’s never frizzy (ever!), sky-high heels that are (somehow) so easy to walk over subway grates in, and a chaotic, yet charming, cosmopolitan life — you know what I mean… Basically, the type of…

Hermès Oran Sandals Review: Sizing, prices, & what you need to know
Hermès Oran sandals… where to start? There’s the iconic “H” cut-out across the top that makes a dodgy tan line so worth it… There’s that smell of new Italian leather that could get you drunker than a bottle of grappa… There are all those articles about how they’re the “#1 shoe” to wear this summer,…

Beat the heat | Matteau dress review
My style in Panamá has changed significantly since I first moved here in 2016. What started as, “I’ll wear leather ballet flats and jeans with a nice top and maybe some extra accessories like a belt or three necklaces! Oh, should I use my suede Proenza PS1 or my Chanel patent leather bag tonight?” Quickly…

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? Sure, why not! Going outside with clean hair? Sign me up! … but, there’s still a part of me that craves comfort. Especially in the shoe department.…

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. Actually, with all of Chanel’s…

Every detail including latest prices & fit | Chanel Ballet Flats review
With Chanel’s infamous price hikes, Chanel ballet flats are seriously expensive. Considering that in 2008, they cost $550 USD, it’s actually kind of nuts… actually, a ~68% price increase for a pair of shoes is all the nuts (and especially includes “premium” cashews). … but here’s something even nuttier, in 2008 I skipped my high…

On March 10th 2015, an unexpected force was launched into the fashion world: the revamped Chanel slingbacks. Either in leather or suede, every model during the 97-look long Fall/Winter 2016 show had one thing in common; their two tone Chanel slingbacks.

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. Caleb and I were meeting his folks for lunch in Bozeman during the summer and I realised that I forgot to put deodorant on when we left our house. We were early, so he waited at…
