Are They Worth It? My MIKOH Bikini Reviews ft. Sizing Tips
After I first stepped foot off the plane in Anguilla, ready to call it home for the foreseeable future, I realised that there was one thing I did not plan for: Solid swimwear. My sister raved about MIKOH bikinis and, well, I do everything she says, so I bought a few too. … and so,…

Zimmermann Wrap Dress Review: They make getting dressed easy
When it comes to dressing, I live off easy dresses that make getting dressed, well, easy. A simple garment, like an elevated dress, does the majority of the heavy lifting. … which is ideal for those of us who don’t want to deal with, like, 13 different bells & whistles to “make” an outfit. So,…

Note: Yuki here — my friend Emerald has written for newinspired before and she’s back at it again with this review on Réalisation Par’s Scarlet dress… The Scarlet slips into 90’s nostalgia with its purple leopard print, taking us on a trip along memory lane.

Rag & Bone Denim Shorts Review: Ugh…
There’s this pair of Rag & Bone denim short shorts, the Mila shorts in “Moss,” that I love. If they were a child, they’d be entering grade 4 — like, they’re around 10 years old. Rag & Bone discontinued the Mila, but I still bought a “reserve” pair on eBay, just in case my first…

Miu Miu Ballet Flats Sizing Review: tbh, not worth it
Right now ballet flats seem to be a “new” trend for fashion magazines to cover. … namely Miu Miu ballet flats.

This isn’t my first time at the rodeo. … maybe I shouldn’t be using a Western rodeo as an expression for my experience with Prada’s Italian loafers, but you can’t teach an old dog horse new tricks idioms. It’s true though, in 2009 my dad bought me my first pair of Prada loafers since I…

Will it make me sleep better? A Lunya Silk Pajamas Review
I don’t remember how or when I heard about Lunya. … it was probably during one of my (many) silk slip dress searches. Lunya’s thing is high quality pajamas — like high quality nice pajamas. Every night I just throw on a beat up blink-182 t-shirt to sleep — hoping for dreams where I’m front…

Celine Sunglasses Review ft. Triomphe, Baby Audrey vs. Audrey, and more
Are you team Phoebe or team Hedi? I am team “I-See-Philostans’-points-but-still-like-Hedi-a-lot.” … but when it comes to Céline’s Celine’s sunglasses, it doesn’t even matter. While all three of my Celine sunglasses were purchased under Phoebe’s tenure, Hedi continues to put out the Baby Audreys and some killer cat eye shades. Since they haven’t changed under…

Telfar Bag Review: I (somehow) got the small & medium bags
I hate when people caption their photos on Instagram, or whatever the latest social media is, with… “You can’t sit with us.” 1- That’s not even the best quote from Mean Girls.2- Why do you want to make other people feel bad? Honestly, that caption feels noxious and obnoxious.
