    Step into comfort: Bobbies Paris shoe review

    When people complain about “wedding season,” it goes way over my head. You see, at 30-something years old, I don’t go to a lot of weddings. … like, the last two weddings I’ve gone to, I was either a flower girl or the bride. I don’t find it burdensome to turn down a wedding invitation.…

  • Trust me, I have 3 of ’em | my Burberry Trench Coat Review

    Trust me, I have 3 of ’em | my Burberry Trench Coat Review

    Over the last decade, there is 1 coat that I consistently wear. … well, 3 to be exact — my Burberry trench coats. In 2010 and 2011, I bought a stone Burberry trench coat (the Kensington) and a black Burberry trench coat (the since discontinued Harbourne). They were both “reasonably” priced at ~$800 USD each…

  • Reformation Jeans Review: Here’s the 411 on Fit & Feel

    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. Trends come and go, but one trend has unfortunately held on… Our jeans are still destroying the environment. Think of all those toxic chemicals used to dye and thousands of gallons of wasted water… just so…

  • You know I thoroughly tested it | Guest in Residence cashmere review

    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. Maybe it’s because no matter where you live, cashmere is always a good idea. As much as I love Gigi Hadid, celebrity “Creative Director” and…

  • Still Worth It?: My Rag & Bone Jeans Review ft. Quality & Sizing Tips

    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. So carefree, real, and effortlessly rock ‘n’ roll. In five years, this denim brand has become my favourite. I’ve bought seven pairs of Rag…

  • I wore it for 6 days straight: A Naadam Cashmere Sweater Review

    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. In that respect, Naadam’s kind of like Reformation… but with a specialization in cashmere. They do a ton of volunteer work and even more work to…

  • Worth it? My updated Reformation shoe and boot review

    Worth it? My updated Reformation shoe and boot review

    In the last four years, a lot has changed. There’s the obvious stuff, like all of 2020/21. … but then there’s the not-so-obvious stuff (to me at least). Like, Reformation has expanded even more than before. When their shoe line started in 2019 and it was like, “will this really work?” … but then it…

  • The ugliest, yet comfiest clog | A Birkenstock Boston review

    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…

  • I totally tested these jeans | a Levi’s Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans Review

    I totally tested these jeans | a Levi’s Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans Review

    Currently in my drawer(s) there are 27 pairs of jeans. … and this isn’t even to mention all the jeans I’ve donated over the years… or my denim shorts. From 2004 (omg remember Earnest Sewn bootcut jeans???) to 2020, a good pair of jeans will bring out your finest assets. In my top shelf drawer,…

  • Embrace comfort, stylishly | my Alaïa Shoe Review

    Embrace comfort, stylishly | my Alaïa Shoe Review

    I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum the type of “grown up” who effortlessly waltzes around wherever in high heels. Hair that’s never frizzy (ever!), sky-high heels that are (somehow) so easy to walk over subway grates in, and a chaotic, yet charming, cosmopolitan life — you know what I mean… Basically, the type of…
