Who the hell is wearing heels?
… and also, what kinda heels are those?
The New York Times says a pair of Christian Louboutin heels are “shorthand for luxury, fabulosity and sex appeal, a kind of synecdoche of success.”

Writing about hosiery is boring.
Reading about hosiery is more boring.… but bear with me please.
Here’s the thing, there is a difference between affordable bodysuits and expensive bodysuits.
Like, affordable bodysuits can be better than expensive bodysuits.

“Summer in the city
Means cleavage, cleavage, cleavage
And I start to miss you, baby, sometimes.”
-Regina Spektor, “Summer In The City” (2006)
You know that 32°C/90°F kind of summer weather?
When it’s so humid and so sticky that all you want to do is wear (close to) nothing and call it a day?
The kind of day where the heat (seemingly) melts the trash and your fingers (seemingly) expand twice their size (is that just me?).
Yeah, those days.

Personally, I’m in the minority.
While I’m a devout Céline sunglasses wearer, I’ve never been a huge Phoebe Philo-stan. On the flip side, I am a huge Hedi Slimane fan.
Don’t close this review though.
Just because I’m an Hedi girl, doesn’t mean that I don’t respect the deep impact that Phoebe made and the way she changed women’s fashion and personal style.

It’s been a while since I reviewed an “Instagram It-Brand.”
There was one thing holding me back from ordering a dress from Rat & Boa…

Investing in multiple pieces of swimwear did not matter to me.
A recent move brought me back “home” to the Caribbean and all of the sudden, sleek swimwear became an essential.
My sister raves about MIKOH and well, your older sister always knows best, right?

To me, white denim = preppy.
… and not in a good ironic-preppy Vampire Weekend way.
… but off-white denim?

Saying “I love hoop earrings” has become as obvious as saying “I love avocado toast.”
… like, duh you do.
Hoop earrings have gone from ancient times to 1980’s Sade to literally every late-2010’s girl-at-a-boozy-brunch.
They’re the best piece of jewelry that you can own.

Gucci Princetown loafers have been on my lust list (totally different from a “wish list”) forever now.
Every few months, I’d go to the Gucci store to try them on… and every time their bulkiness made me look super, uhhh, squat.
Basically, like most people, what drew me in was my desire for a closed-toe summer shoe that I could just slip on and not have to worry about a pedicure in order to wear.
… like just a simple slip on shoe — nothing too “normcore,” nothing too “bloggery” and obviously nothing too ridiculous. Literally, just a slip on shoe.
… then Reformation put out their shoe collection.
