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 […]

Are They Worth It? My MIKOH Bikini Reviews ft. Sizing Tips
After I first stepped foot off the plane in Anguilla, ready to call it home for the foreseeable future, I realised that there was one thing I did not plan for: Solid swimwear. My sister raved about MIKOH bikinis and, well, I do everything she says, so I bought a few too. … and so, […]

Zimmermann Wrap Dress Review: They make getting dressed easy
When it comes to dressing, I live off easy dresses that make getting dressed, well, easy. A simple garment, like an elevated dress, does the majority of the heavy lifting. … which is ideal for those of us who don’t want to deal with, like, 13 different bells & whistles to “make” an outfit. So, […]

Rag & Bone Denim Shorts Review: Ugh…
There’s this pair of Rag & Bone denim short shorts, the Mila shorts in “Moss,” that I love. If they were a child, they’d be entering grade 4 — like, they’re around 10 years old. Rag & Bone discontinued the Mila, but I still bought a “reserve” pair on eBay, just in case my first […]

Will it make me sleep better? A Lunya Silk Pajamas Review
I don’t remember how or when I heard about Lunya. … it was probably during one of my (many) silk slip dress searches. Lunya’s thing is high quality pajamas — like high quality nice pajamas. Every night I just throw on a beat up blink-182 t-shirt to sleep — hoping for dreams where I’m front […]

All the fit & sizing info you need | Re/Done denim shorts reviews
To me, white denim = preppy. … and not in a good ironic-preppy Vampire Weekend way. Off-white denim though? Well, the gloves are off and (all my) wisdom teeth are out. I’m stronger now, I’m ready for the house off-white denim. … but, like Vampire Weekend’s single, “Step,” I can’t do it alone. Enter: Re/Done’s […]

Nothing’s perfect, but… | my Madewell Perfect Jean Shorts review
From Acne to Re/Done, with some pitstops in between, my efforts have been up and down. It’s like the past 5 years have revolved around finding the perfect pair of denim shorts. Some look great, but pinch my crotch. Others don’t look great, and, well, is there a point in going on about those? So, […]

Gracefully cute dresses | Three Graces London sizing review
See, I have this problem where Selena Gomez has unwittingly become someone whose dresses I steal. … not in like the Bling Ring way. I’m not like breaking into houses to raid celebrities’ closets — it’s more of an Ariana Grande, “I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it,” metaphorical stealing […]
