  • 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 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…

  • Are they THAT easy tho? Citizens of Humanity Marlow Easy Shorts review

    Are they THAT easy tho? Citizens of Humanity Marlow Easy Shorts review

    In the summer, if you’re like me, you prioritize ease. … actually, wait, no matter the season, if you’re like me, you prioritize ease. Pre-everything and post-everything — everything needs to veer towards “easy.” Slip on shoes, machine-washable clothes, hands-free handbags. Little things like buckling a pair of Mary Jane shoes takes too much time…
