    How good is it? | a Neiman Marcus Cashmere Review

    My sister was the one who introduced me to cashmere. Until she bought multiple cashmere sweaters from Holt Renfrew (Canada’s answer to Neiman Marcus), cashmere was something I’d only ever read about in Sophie Kinsella novels. In other words, cashmere was a luxurious figment of my imagination. With Canada being a warm memory, but Holt’s…

    Fun in the form of a dress | A Rhode Ella Dress Review

    If you want my hierarchy of leisure wear… Athleisure < Sleepleisure < Resort wear Your rank may differ, but big flowing dresses rule my hierarchy.

  • Sizing, where to buy online, and more | a Celine Shoes review

    Sizing, where to buy online, and more | a Celine Shoes review

    There’s always the thing that got away. The fleeting crush, the perfect meal your favourite restaurant took off their menu, or, even worse, the shoe that got away. For me, the shoes were Chanel Cruise 2018/19 Silver Mary Janes. For whatever reason (read: I was broke), I didn’t get them. From then on, a new…

    I sweat the small stuff with ’em | Entireworld Sweatpants Review

    Note: RIP Entireworld, you will live fondly in our minds for getting us through 2020/work from home days.

Since the mid-aughts, I’ve totally stopped…
