Lovely style; lousy quality. First off, I almost gave up on even trying this on because it was nearly impossible undoing the top button which took 10 minutes. The button loop was sewn a lot smaller than the others which I had no issues undoing. After I put it on I really loved the lookContinue reading “Loubna Blouse”

Flare Jeans
Hmm… Well to start with, the proportions are all wrong. The length is insanely long (I got the Regular length although maybe Petite would’ve worked better) but I’m 5’3, so I’m not super petite. The first pic, I’m on my tiptoes and they’re still swimming. I got the XS which is my usual size andContinue reading “Flare Jeans”
Capucine Cardigan
For anyone interested in getting the Capcuine – don’t. The quality is total garbage. Not sure if they’ve changed the type of cotton they use for these cardigans but it’s like it disintegrates as soon as you touch it. Mine arrived with the fibres fraying off all over and in one spot near the buttonContinue reading “Capucine Cardigan”
Laurent Embroidered Blouse
Oh this blouse is a work of art! Obviously meant to be worn with a camisole underneath but I wasn’t bothered when trying in the fitting room. The detailed embroidery is so pretty and delicate. Ended up not getting it because it felt a bit “out there” for the office. I got the S whichContinue reading “Laurent Embroidered Blouse”
Truman Mini Skirt
Super cute mini skirt! Was a little worried that the length would be too short but I actually think it’s pretty workable. I ended up not getting it because I already have another skirt that’s quite similar and at almost $400, didn’t think it was necessary. There’s no stretch but it’s pretty true to size.Continue reading “Truman Mini Skirt”
Suzette Blouse
First time shopping from this brand. I have to say, I’m a total sucker for puffed sleeves and this brand has oh so many! Fabric is nice and light and the sleeves aren’t ridiculously over-the-top. Great for spring/summer with denim or shorts. Will definitely get more summer staples from them. I usually wear a 4Continue reading “Suzette Blouse”
Align Waist-Length Tank Top
This is one of three tanks I bought from Lulu. Just FYI, their tops do seem to run small as I’m usually an XS (0 or 2) and I got a 4. You can see that it just fits. Fabric is not ribbed. it’s great for working out. The top does have cups and IContinue reading “Align Waist-Length Tank Top”
Babaton Arbus Blazer
Very good quality and comfortable. I really like the cropped silhouette which makes it easy to style and makes it comfy too. It’s fully lined and well-made. The one thing I was a little unsure of was the really long sleeves which are apparently in style but it doesn’t bother me too much.Aritzia,M,$228,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Blazer,Coats/Jackets,Size MContinue reading “Babaton Arbus Blazer”
Bella Dress
Size 6 / 38. I was in love with it when I saw it on social media. The print is divine. But in person, on me, I’m lukewarm. It feels a bit like the dress is wearing me. Maybe it’s just that there’s so much of it. It’s LONG. I’m 5’7″ and I’m wearing 2.5″Continue reading “Bella Dress”
Wunder Train Strappy Tank Top
Didn’t realize this top was going to be as crop as it actually turned out to be. It’s super comfy though and the cups prevent any nipple show-through. It does run small – I’m usually a 2 and I’m wearing a 4 here. It doesn’t ride up either so I’m definitely buying in more colors.Lululemon,4,,5’3-5’4Continue reading “Wunder Train Strappy Tank Top”
Ava Blouse
I’ve been eyeing this brand for some time now. I specifically saw this blouse on an ad and thought it was beautiful. Still think it’s beautiful but teh main problem that I had was it was super see-through. Granted, probably should’ve tried with a nude bra but given just how thin the fabric is andContinue reading “Ava Blouse”
Michelle
I had never bought anything from Bobbies but was recommended by a friend. I saw the brand pic of these and immediately ordered them. I waited with such anticipation that when I opened the box, talk about disappointment! They were so much clunkier and … inelegant than what the product picture suggested. The block heelContinue reading “Michelle”
Tyler Silk Blouse
L’Agence has their signature silk blouses in the most whimsical, fun prints. The shape is lovely. The only thing that bothered me is that it felt quite sheer (probably should not wear a black bra when trying on blouses! A nude bra was probably the better choice). This was one of many prints they haveContinue reading “Tyler Silk Blouse”
Brooke Open-Front Blazer
OK, I’m totally in love. I think I may have found the perfect blazer! This has the exact feminine shape that I’ve been searching for. I love that it gives you that sort of cinched look instead of the boxy menswear style that seems to be so in vogue. I got a size 6 –Continue reading “Brooke Open-Front Blazer”
Pull Jynx in Black
Just a standard black top. I liked the details on it but the fabric didn’t feel particularly great. I liked the buttons, the boat neck, the lines… But for $325, I would rather buy something on sale at Sandro and Maje which has similarly lovely details but can be had for much cheaper. Looks likeContinue reading “Pull Jynx in Black”
Domi Midi Skirt
I got a 36 which I think translates to a Small. This was a weird one. I could see what they were trying to do with the asymmetry but it turned out to be just a really awkward length on me. Also, the fabric quality was really thin and cheap-feeling. Definitely didn’t feel like aContinue reading “Domi Midi Skirt”
Dalenda Midi Skirt
This is definitely not really my kind of style but I thought the print was beautiful. Very eye-catching. I also loved the fabric-covered buttons and the slit which was a very lovely feminine touch. However, it’s 100% viscose and it definitely doesn’t feel like the best quality. I also didn’t love it enough at thisContinue reading “Dalenda Midi Skirt”
Clovia Dress
Oh my god, this is NOT cute on me. It’s mildly better with heels but damn, does it make me look like I’m matronly! The fabric is nice and soft but that’s about the only positive. I imagine this style probably looks for women who are ultra willowy or maybe have a smaller bust? SmallContinue reading “Clovia Dress”
