Things I Would Buy: If I didn’t all ready own it
Item(s): Chanel AW06 Chevron Jacket & Skirt Set. Reason(s): This post is really just serving as a PSA incase you were ever looking for this jacket. I regularly browse for vintage (read: secondhand) Chanel jackets and this is the first time I’ve seen this Chanel 06A jacket resurface in 2 years. Kate Moss wore this…

What I Wore This Week: My husband’s first week-ish in Montreal
Wednesday: Took a visit to my old high school to see their new auditorium, where the school plays and academic ribbon ceremonies now take place, and to learn more about donating a seat. To be clear, it’s not like I live in Bruce Springsteen’s song “Glory Days.” While high school could’ve been better, it also…

What I bought this week: Byredo Roll-On Perfume Oil
Item(s): Byredo Roll-On Perfume Oil in Mojave Ghost… plus, I asked for a free sample of Bal D’Afrique. Reason: Byredo’s Tree House candle is in my top 3 re-buy candles. It makes sense (scents?), since Byredo began their brand with the best way for us to literally burn our money — candles. Tree House is…

Things I Would Buy: If I was going to multiple summer weddings
With wedding season around the corner, these are my picks for the ol’ “omg I have too many weddings coming up and don’t want to buy 7 different dresses” problem. The key for these dresses is that they’re all understated, yet classically stylish. Follow my principles on “How To Wear One Dress to 10 Weddings”…

What I wore this week: Lots of meals out
Tuesday: Manicure and pedicure appointment at Spa St. James. After that dismal pedicure in Panamá, where it got all smudged (likely because the top coat was old/gummy), this time I brought my own base polish, nail polishes, and top coat. For whatever reason (let’s be honest, it was probably because of some Kate Moss article),…

The best alternative to vintage? Levi’s 501 skinny jeans review
If you’re a longtime reader, you’re likely absolutely sick of hearing me go on and on and on about elusive vintage Levi’s. … don’t worry, I’m over it too. In my final quest, I decided to just go ahead and get the pair of jeans that vintage Levi’s stem from: The 501 jeans. Let’s finally…

All the fit & sizing info you need | Re/Done denim shorts reviews
To me, white denim = preppy. … and not in a good ironic-preppy Vampire Weekend way. Off-white denim though? Well, the gloves are off and (all my) wisdom teeth are out. I’m stronger now, I’m ready for the house off-white denim. … but, like Vampire Weekend’s single, “Step,” I can’t do it alone. Enter: Re/Done’s…

Nothing’s perfect, but… | my Madewell Perfect Jean Shorts review
From Acne to Re/Done, with some pitstops in between, my efforts have been up and down. It’s like the past 5 years have revolved around finding the perfect pair of denim shorts. Some look great, but pinch my crotch. Others don’t look great, and, well, is there a point in going on about those? So,…

Gracefully cute dresses | Three Graces London sizing review
See, I have this problem where Selena Gomez has unwittingly become someone whose dresses I steal. … not in like the Bling Ring way. I’m not like breaking into houses to raid celebrities’ closets — it’s more of an Ariana Grande, “I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it,” metaphorical stealing…
