What I Wore This Week: To the mall (of course) and Easter
Monday: Since I’m absolutely incapable of lying, I have to admit that this is an older outfit from a few weeks ago from when I went to scope out new Chanel shoes with my mum. Still worth sharing since these SLVRLAKE London jeans are A+… love an off-white pair of jeans, although I was in…

Chanel Heart Bag review: In which I bare my heart
“Responsible” is a word that gets thrown around much too much once you hit 30. … but, unlike an extra candle on your birthday cake, “responsibility” is hard to quantify.

What I bought this week: New glasses
Item(s): Airframe Bold Oversized eye glasses, in Crystal, from Jins.

Are they actually good snow boots? Isabel Marant Nowles boots review
Joining the ranks of Julius Caesar and Joni Mitchell Leonard Cohen*, I am also as constant as the Northern Star. … at least when it comes to my brand loyalty for “nice” boots.

What I Wore This Week: Forcing myself out of the house
Wednesday: I’ve been feeling real down lately… so, to coax me out of the house and get a change of scenery, my husband lured me to the mall under the guise of checking out what’s new at the Hermès store. Nothing was particularly interesting at H, but we had a nice lunch (at Saquella in…

Things I Would Buy: For spring, if I wasn’t saving for a Burberry trench coat
… Burberry trench coats have become so expensive (I bought mine when they were like $850 a piece), so I’m holding strong on saving and I’m almost there. If I had less self-control, this is what I would buy for spring — the grand total for it all is still less than a trench coat 🙄.…
