What I bought this week: OK, more like what arrived this week
I ordered these items a few weeks ago, but Net-A-Porter takes forever to come during sale season, so… Item(s): The Row slippers and Khaite Belinda cashmere short. Reason: These slippers from The Row are, well, slip-on, but unlike a lot of slip on flats out there, they have a rounded toe. I was waiting for…

What I bought this year: Best of 2021
2021 went by like a flash and, like, I don’t have to summarize everything that happened around the world this year. … but, I would like to share a few favourite new-to-me items that offered a silver-lining in another chaotic year… Skyn eye masks My first time in an Ulta store and I picked up…

What I bought this week: Winter 2021 Sale Edition
Item(s): COSRX pimple patches, a Comme Des Garçons cardigan, and an Annak dress. Reason: I had a giant zit that was so big, gross, and painful, the only way I could get rid of it was with a pimple patch. Bad news for the zit, the Mumoso store in Panamá was able to deliver it…

Debunking THE Instagram shoe | Chanel Dad Sandals review
From the OTT “new Bottega” bunch, the bisou Paris vintage crowd, the Scandi norm-core pack, even the #CottageCore crowd, everyone on Instagram dresses the same. While I will moan and complain about how Instagram ruined personal style, I still got sucked in and bought a pair of the most Instagrammy ~influencer~ shoes that transcends every…

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
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
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
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…

Something feels off… | a Loeffler Randall Goldy boots review
Knee high boots are tough to buy. … at least I think they are. This is probably why, other than my Isabel Marant Denvee boots, I’ve never really bought a pair. There’s never really been a pair that stepped up to the plate — despite how much I’ve always want some knee high boots. ……
