What I bought this week: (Boring) Goop order
Item(s): Jillian Dempsey eye masks, goop Beauty “The Martini” Emotional Detox Bath Soak (not pictured), and a Gwyneth Paltrow x Copper Fit Knee Compression Sleeve. Reason: This is my third time buying Jillian Dempsey eye masks. At $75 USD, they’re kinda expensive for a set of 10… but, they really brighten your under-eye area. To…

How to Dress for Rain in the Summer… and not ruin your shoes
Panamá is primarily a jungle-based climate. If it isn’t raining, it’s threatening to rain. Basically, three months of the year are considered “dry.” … so, I deal with a lot of rain on a day-to-day basis. At this point in my life, I’m done tempting fate by wearing “nice” leather ballet flats when I want…

Birkenstock Arizona EVA review | THE waterproof sandal?
This all started because I got caught in the rain a few times. … and by a few times, I mean like a lot of times. See, I never really felt a strong desire for a pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals. No matter how hard I try, I’ll never be Kate Moss in the 90’s.…

Free your feet | Freedom Moses sandals sizing review
OK, so I saw these Freedom Moses sandals on Shopbop and thought they were called… Freedom MOOSE. After that, I promptly forgot about them — like, who wants rubber sandals with fake buckles? Fast forward to my vacation in Montreal, where it rained for, like, 1/4 of the trip, and my Stan Smiths sprung a…

How to use Rakuten… and always get a sale
The thing is, I love nice things… but, I also love saving money. Not in like a dumpster diving or hoarding used toilet paper for later Extreme Cheapskates kind of way. It’s more like, if I go to the grocery store and I see that Bigelow peppermint tea is on sale and Stash Moroccan mint…

What I Wore This Week: OK, like over the last two weeks…
These outfits are from the last 2 weeks ago. This past week I was a little lazy and didn’t take any outfit photos — I’ll do better this week, I promise! Saturday: Stayed home all day, but went out for dinner in the evening with Cassandra and Caleb to L’Express. Ugh, I love French food……

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”…
