  • Shake your hips | RIXO dress SIZING and quality review

    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:

  • 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…

  • 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…

    La grande bellezza | Realisation Par Monica Dress Review

    Note: Yuki here — I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Emerald Liu, who lives in Belgium. Emerald & I are constantly chatting about our shared (and might I say excellent) taste in music, literature, and fashion. As a massive fan of her own writing, I’m humbled that Emerald is graciously sharing her thoughts…

  • Vintage without the hassle | AGOLDE Parker Shorts Review

    Vintage without the hassle | AGOLDE Parker Shorts Review

    In 2010, I had this pair of vintage Levi’s denim shorts from What Goes Around Comes Around — I loved them. Side note: Don’t you think people sound so precious when they say their jeans are vintage Levi’s? — it’s like “oh, yes, you’re clever and unique with shorts you can’t readily buy anywhere.” ……

  • Super soft, but in between sizing | a Boyish Jeans Review

    Super soft, but in between sizing | a Boyish Jeans Review

    If you’ve read newinspired before, you know that there’s one topic that I particularly love/hate to talk about: Vintage Levi’s jeans. Those jeans are extremely elusive and mysterious to me. As a result, I’m always after jeans that mimic their style, but don’t require the work involved with sourcing and tailoring them. Enter: Boyish “The…

  • I tried (almost) everything Kate Moss modeled | a SKIMS review

    I tried (almost) everything Kate Moss modeled | a SKIMS review

    There’s a lot to write about the Kardashians. … like, I have a ton of thoughts about each sister and their momager. I mean, who doesn’t agree with, “the devil works hard, but Kris always works harder?” … but, as an ardent Kate Moss fan, I have even more thoughts about Kate’s SKIMS ads. The…

  • I fell in love with these dresses | LoveShackFancy Sizing Review

    I fell in love with these dresses | LoveShackFancy Sizing Review

    Do you remember the first time you saw a LoveShackFancy dress? I (weirdly) do. This is so random, but I saw a photo of Selena Gomez wearing a dress in 2018 and was like “who is this by???” — the dress was almost as cute as she is! Then, I figured out it was from…

  • This slip dress HAS pockets | a Norma Kamali dress review

    This slip dress HAS pockets | a Norma Kamali dress review

    Like everywhere in the world right now, it’s hot in Montana (where I’m currently on vacation). To combat the heat I needed a lightweight dress that was totally unfussy. … something like Norma Kamali’s slip dress. Simple, long, and classic, I was intrigued…
