They’re SO 90’s | an in-depth The Row Ginza Sandals Review
For two reasons, The Row’s Ginza shoes remind me of Blondie’s hit song, “One Way or Another.” 1- “One Way or Another” was featured in the 1998 classic film, The Rugrats Movie, when Angelica scales cliffs in inclement weather to try and find her beloved Cynthia doll. 2- While I didn’t scale cliffs to find…

Are these sweatpants for real? | Réalisation Par Sweats Review
“They took us a year to perfect, but the wait is worth it! With a classic 70’s sweatsuit and a 90’s Sharon Stone in our minds, we worked hard to get this duo to be the perfect pair. The pants should make you feel like you want to get up and hit that reformer, pound…

These flats are NOT demi-done | A Margaux Shoe Review
Honestly, after those Italic flats, I’m so over DTC brands. They’re never quite as good as they claim to be. … but every now and then, Margaux has crossed my web browsing. My close friend, Cassandra, keeps talking about them too (is Google reading my iMessages? (jk, I know they’re end-to-end encrypted… or are they??)).

Celine Small Trio Bag Review: How much has changed under Hedi?
Note: In recent months, it seems like the Celine Trio bag has been discontinued… however, you can still find it on resale sites like The Luxury Closet, The Real Real, or Vestiaire Collective. 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…

I tried those French Mary Jane shoes | A Carel Kina review
My Converse were because of the Strokes. Manolo Blahnik BBs? Emmanuelle Alt. … and my Isabel Marant Dicker boots were 100% influenced by Lily Aldridge. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that my Carel Kina Mary Jane shoe purchase was heavily influenced by Alexa Chung. With the little heel and their Mary Jane style, these shoes…

G. Label Clothing Review: How the eff is a t-shirt so $$$?
Somewhere between an inherently anxious disposition, a tendency to fall asleep during Savasana, and a proclivity for Old Fashioneds, I try to follow Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop in hopes of being more, well, goopy. That doesn’t mean I’m totally balls to the wall. I pick and choose what to practice; vegan chickpea “tuna” salad, yes; jade…

The trickiest sizing | a Repetto Cendrillon ballerinas review
Over the last 15 years, Repetto’s Cendrillon ballet flats have been in and out of my life. There was the first black pair I bought at Rosenstein (RIP) in Montreal, full price. Other pairs followed — the turquoise suede pair whose blue rivals Caribbean seas, snappy faux-crocodile prints, shaggy fools gold… but they were all…

Not gonna say “ciao” to these dresses | Ciao Lucia Sizing Review
“For the girl, on eternal vacation.”-Ciao Lucia’s About Page Ciao Lucia’s opening “About Us” statement offends me. Mainly because in 2020, like none of us have been on an eternal vacation — let alone any vacation. … like not even my mindset has been on holiday. Still, wanting to at least feel like I’m on…

Pretty perfect, but not worth full price: Isabel Marant bag review
Buying a new handbag is rare for me. … I prefer to keep my bags (mostly) classic. Every now and then though, a bag will creep up on me and rattle around my head. The ones that have been shaking in my mind the most are from, who else, Isabel Marant. … but spending $1,290…
