OK, I call this the attack of the spiral boobies. I remember seeing this on an Instagram ad and immediately added to cart but I’m glad I didn’t! I’m wearing a size 6 which is my usual size for fancier brands. The fabric just felt … cheap? I’m not sure I like the vegan leatherContinue reading “Chara Vegan Leather Party Dress”

Ellis Tweed Box Pleat Dress
Hmmm… Trying to pinpoint exactly what I don’t like about this dress. The fabric is really lovely actually. The tweed is a pretty decent medium-weight fabric and it feels well constructed. I think it’s that the bodice just doesn’t seem to have a lot of shape. Or rather, it definitely looks better on the modelContinue reading “Ellis Tweed Box Pleat Dress”
Amelia Button-Down Shirt
I submitted a review previously for the same shirt in white (I got that one in a size 4 because I was worried the shirt would be too transparent). I loved the style and basically wanted the same style in whatever colors it comes in. Turns out it only comes in white and brown/white stripes.Continue reading “Amelia Button-Down Shirt”
Crepe Knit Split Skirt
Amazing column skirt! I love the slit on the side which makes it just sexy enough. The brand is known for its crepe knit fabric. It’s an almost scuba-like material but is thick enough that it hides all lumps and bumps and holds you in. No VPLs either which is great. The one downside isContinue reading “Crepe Knit Split Skirt”
Ron Top
I’m not usually a fan of black on me but now that I’m going grey I’m starting to like it. Perhaps more contrast now. The shade of ecru in the Ron is actually nice, sometimes ecru shows very yellow but this is a nice neutral. It’s also really forgiving. It’s thin but structured perfect forContinue reading “Ron Top”
Gaspard Cardigan
Work must-have! I love it so much that I have this in black as well and thinking of picking up yet another one. A true corporate staple.ba&sh,S,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Cardigan,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size S All Reviews,ba&sh
Lucia
I grew up in Paris (live in NYC now) so this is a brand I’m familiar with. I got these Mary Jane’s because they’re a classic shape but still tapping into the MJ trend that’s all the rage right now. They’re comfortable although I wouldn’t wear them for a long period of walking. Love theContinue reading “Lucia”
Kori Blouse
This is a beautiful blouse, if a little low cut. I didn’t get it because of that but the fabric is so slinky and gorgeous and I love how feminine it is. i might change my mind on this blouse. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did! It’s a pretty looseContinue reading “Kori Blouse”
Sami Jumper
Possibly my most favorite sweater ever. It’s so perfectly soft, drapes amazingly, and the color is this lovely light neutral beige. The stitching/weave is excellent and feels very very elegant. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering it, keep! (watch out for cats with it though…I already got it snared twice when picking upContinue reading “Sami Jumper”

Juan Top
Another love! another cute basic, so excited to wear it this summer. ngl it’s a bit ‘murica vibes, but whatevs. it’s also very comfy and has the perfect amount of stretch (97% cotton, 3% elastane, just like Felicien). keep!

Felicien Top
Love! such a cute basic, it’s giving high fashion cottagecore medieval farmhand vibes. the length is full body, just like the Juan top next. keep! I am 5’8″ and 150lb, 37-30-38, size 30 in A+F jeansSezane,L,$60,5’7-5’8 5’7-5’8,French Brands,Size L,Tank,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Bettany Cardigan
A little bit too dark for my tastes? Also, the length is quite long (3-4in more than the Betty) so I’d have to tuck it in to style it. I think I’ll go for the cute doily lapel look in some other piece. Probably gonna return this one. I am 5’8″ and 150lb, 37-30-38, sizeContinue reading “Bettany Cardigan”
Zip Back Scuba Pant
I love these pants but there’s no way I can wear these to my office which errs on the more conservative side. I actually thought they were quite flattering with the seam on the side. It’s got plenty of stretch and the zip in the back instead of buttons. I also like that the fabricContinue reading “Zip Back Scuba Pant”
Miller Dickey Jacket
I’ve been on the lookout for a proper blazer for the office. I’ve tried a bunch of different styles but haven’t bit the bullet yet. Nevertheless, when I tried this one on, there’s definitely a wow factor. It is incredibly beautifully made and doesn’t make me look boxy at all (I have pretty wide shouldersContinue reading “Miller Dickey Jacket”
Amelia Button-Down Shirt in White
Fun fact – I have never worn a button-down shirt in about 10 years. They always gape at the chest and tends to be very boxy and masculine. I really liked the neckline of this one since it doesn’t have a button at the top and it gives a very feminine vibe. I tried onContinue reading “Amelia Button-Down Shirt in White”
Andie Cardigan
Size XS which is a size up for me in Sezane knits. Looks cuter on the model it’s a bit too grandma for me. Will be returning. I’m 5’1 and 110lbs.Sezane,XS,$150,5’1-5’2 5’1-5’2,Cardigan,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size XS All Reviews,Sezane
Martin Crop Trousers
Sized up to 36 in these and they fit quite well. No hemming necessary but the texture of the fabric is throwing me off. It also flattens my butt. I always abide by “the print should be proportionate to your body” and I would like this more if the checks were smaller. Will be returning.Continue reading “Martin Crop Trousers”
