Reformation Jeans Review: Here’s the 411 on Fit & Feel
When I first wrote this review, in early-2019, we were like a year into mom jeans being super mainstream.

You know I thoroughly tested it | Guest in Residence cashmere review
“KNITWEAR DESIGNED TO LAST YEARS, NOT SEASONS.” -Guest in Residence’s mantra Maybe it’s because I’ve moved to a chilly climate, that I want to add more cashmere to my closet.

Still Worth It?: My Rag & Bone Jeans Review ft. Quality & Sizing Tips
In 2011, Rag & Bone got my attention with their DIY ad campaigns. I was going through a massive Kings of Leon obsession and their Lily Aldridge campaign pulled me in.

I wore it for 6 days straight: A Naadam Cashmere Sweater Review
By now, you may have heard about Naadam and their cashmere. In case you haven’t, basically their whole “thing” is basically being mindful of social impact and the environment.

Every detail including latest prices & fit | Chanel Ballet Flats review
With Chanel’s infamous price hikes, Chanel ballet flats are seriously expensive. Considering that in 2008, they cost $550 USD, it’s actually kind of nuts… actually, a ~68% price increase for a pair of shoes is all the nuts (and especially includes “premium” cashews). … but here’s something even nuttier, in 2008 I skipped my high…

The ugliest, yet comfiest clog | A Birkenstock Boston review
I’m pretty sure that Gucci Princetown mules was the kindling to this. … and Isabel Marant’s Mirvin shoes was the match that must have lit it up. All I know for sure is that a slew of designers (Marni, J.W. Anderson, and by the time this goes to publication, multiple others…) are putting out their…

Unpopular opinion: Hermès’ Bride-a-Brac makes a perfectly good handbag
I’m the first person to give an unpopular opinion. … and if someone gives an unpopular opinion, I’m the first to challenge it. Basically, I live in a realm of being a confused contrarian… or something like that. In an Hermès haze, I’ve been perusing a lot of sites lately about this historic house. Imagine…
