Ahoy, matey! Rolla’s Sailor Jeans Review
My first order on Shopbop was placed in 2006. … like, right as it was acquired by Amazon and back when Juicy Couture reigned supreme. After shopping on Shopbop for over half my life, there are certain times where you’re like: “Where did this brand even come from?” Rolla’s is one of those brands for…

What’s Old Is New: Kate Moss for Zara review
As a Kate Moss style enthusiast for over half my life, I could write about the magic of Moss until my fingers fall off. As someone who has purchased just about everything that Kate has ever been involved with, I know my stuff. Eight years after her last full-on design collaboration (that was widely available)…

I hate how expensive they are | SLVRLAKE Denim Review
SLVRLAKE must have come up while you were shopping for jeans online. … and, like me, you probably dismissed them as being an unjustified overpriced denim line. Why spend $349 on a pair of SLVRLAKE jeans when you can get some Levi’s for $98? Similar to Bianca Stratford explaining the difference between Sketchers and a…

Super big, but super flattering | AGOLDE Jeans review
After my AGOLDE Parker shorts, I was totally sold on AGOLDE jeans. Those shorts were perfect. … but AGOLDE’s sizing? Super inconsistent. During Shopbop’s bi-annual sale, the lure of blue AGOLDE Riley Crop jeans and silver AGOLDE Nico jeans reeled me faster than any dazzling bobby. Here’s the deal with AGOLDE jeans sizing and quality……

Sizing is different for each style, but… | a MOTHER Denim Review
It’s hard for denim brands to differentiate themselves. … like they all sell the same thing — jeans. MOTHER denim though? There’s this air of California light that surrounds on them. You know the kind I’m talking about — that Echo Park Indie Princess California aura of, ummm, coolness. Fringe is cut by themself, fridge…

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…

Wolford Tights Review: My take on the most iconic hosiery brand
Frette : Linen :: Wolford : TightsRimowa : Luggage :: Wolford : TightsEres : Swimwear :: Wolford : Tights If the SATS’ analogies had been formed with designer items, my scores wouldn’t have put me in remedial English.

Dôen Dress Review: All the details on these dreamy dresses
Recently, most of my vacations have been spent in California. As a result, my style has gone from French cool girl (read: Rouje) to relaxed California girl (read: Goop’s G. Label). There are a lot of reasons that this new ~vibe~ started, but the biggest… The location… duh. When I’m in California, the laidback West…

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. In 2010 and 2011, I bought a stone Burberry trench coat (the Kensington) and a black Burberry trench coat (the since discontinued Harbourne). They were both “reasonably” priced at ~$800 USD each…

Reformation Jeans Review: Here’s the 411 on Fit & Feel
When I first wrote this review, in early-2019, we were like a year into mom jeans being super mainstream. Trends come and go, but one trend has unfortunately held on… Our jeans are still destroying the environment. Think of all those toxic chemicals used to dye and thousands of gallons of wasted water… just so…
