Sold out? Read this first, then ask Gab
If you read this blog, you know how much I love sourcing something “hard to get” myself. From Chanel Jade nail polish in 2009 to the 2022 Loewe x Spirited Away collaboration, the thrill of finding something that’s “hard to get” by myself is unbeatable. … until, I was looking for a gift for my…

What’s up with a $1,500+ nylon bag? A Prada Nylon Bag Review
“There’s a difference between like and love. Because, I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack.” -Bianca Stratford, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) This is likely one of the most overused quotes in my life and on this site. However, you know as well as I do that it’s not only…

Are They Worth It? My MIKOH Bikini Reviews ft. Sizing Tips
After I first stepped foot off the plane in Anguilla, ready to call it home for the foreseeable future, I realised that there was one thing I did not plan for: Solid swimwear. My sister raved about MIKOH bikinis and, well, I do everything she says, so I bought a few too. … and so,…

What I Bought This Year: Best of 2022
2022: Did it go by in an instant? Or was it a slow burn that sped up at the end? Either way (and personally speaking), this year was filled with Mt. Everest-like highs (visiting Montreal after ~10 years and how my husband immediately took to our puppy, Puddles!) and Davey Jones’s Locker lows (my dad…

Zimmermann Wrap Dress Review: They make getting dressed easy
When it comes to dressing, I live off easy dresses that make getting dressed, well, easy. A simple garment, like an elevated dress, does the majority of the heavy lifting. … which is ideal for those of us who don’t want to deal with, like, 13 different bells & whistles to “make” an outfit. So,…

What I Bought This Week: Cosmoss by Kate Moss
Item(s): Face Cream, Face Cleanser, and Sacred Mist from Cosmoss, by Kate Moss. Reason: Cosmoss is Kate Moss’ inaugural wellness line! Most of the ingredients are either moss extract (Cosmoss/Kate Moss, get it?) or CBD (which is snake-oil imo). … but, I bought it because of Kate Moss. As a fan for almost 2 decades,…

Rag & Bone Denim Shorts Review: Ugh…
There’s this pair of Rag & Bone denim short shorts, the Mila shorts in “Moss,” that I love. If they were a child, they’d be entering grade 4 — like, they’re around 10 years old. Rag & Bone discontinued the Mila, but I still bought a “reserve” pair on eBay, just in case my first…

Things I Would Buy: If I was going to a Taylor Swift concert
Last week was fraught with drama surrounding Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. The Verified Fan presale felt like the Hunger Games (with nosebleed tickets akin to Peta’s pity bread tossed at Katniss in the rain), and the Capital One presale was like a WWE fight (except it wasn’t supposed to be rigged)… Then the week…

What I bought this week: Glossier You Candle
Item(s): You Candle from Glossier. Reason: Just FYI, this would have also covered the Glossier Holiday Kits, but I ordered the You candle two weeks before the Holiday Kits came out… and my order for their Holiday Kits has been cancelled FIVE times and their customer service STILL hasn’t gotten back to me about how…
