Last spring i bought the Brooke tweed blazer, mainly because i wanted this crazy neon orange but it also looks good on me 🙂 I am 5’3″, hourglass with a high natural waist so I usually looked for somewhat cropped blazers with a defined waist. I bought a size 8 – I’d say I’m aContinue reading “Brooke Double-Breasted Cropped Blazer”

Ginko Leaf Print Short Swing Dress + Belt
OK, I’m IN LOVE with this shape. You can wear in two ways, with the tie as a belt or bow. The only reason I didn’t buy it is because I wasn’t in love with the print. It’s just not me but the shape is 100% me! I asked the SA if they had moreContinue reading “Ginko Leaf Print Short Swing Dress + Belt”
Cheesecloth Shirred Maxi Shirt Dress
This dress is one of those that look great on tall lanky women. I don’t know if it’s my height or body shape but I just felt like a peasant who’s about to go churn butter. Definitely not my style! Having said that, the fabric is really nice – it’s a heavy/medium weight fabric andContinue reading “Cheesecloth Shirred Maxi Shirt Dress”
Cotton-Blend Fringe Trim Midi Dress
I just looked this up on the brand website and it looks totally different on the model! It looks like it’s supposed to be slightly A-line which it definitely isn’t for me. Although caveat: I usually wear size 4 in this brand but I couldn’t zip this up all the way. I definitely needed toContinue reading “Cotton-Blend Fringe Trim Midi Dress”
Silk-Blend Devoré Confetti Print Blouse
I swung by the new ME + EM store in NYC. I was excited to see all the fabulous prints that the brand is known for but they had just opened up two days ago so the inventory was somewhat limited. This blouse looked like watercolor and of course I had to try it on.Continue reading “Silk-Blend Devoré Confetti Print Blouse”
Benny Knit Sweater
This was my first knit item from STAUD. I’m pretty happy with it, especially since I got it on sale (30% off $245 original price). I like it – it’s pretty thick and keeps me quite warm through NYC winters. In terms of sizing, I usually get S/M and figured this was going to beContinue reading “Benny Knit Sweater”
Faux Leather Leggings
When I first wore these, they were too tight behind the knees this morning and uncomfortable. But it must’ve stretched throughout the day because now it’s super comfortable and I would def wear these again! I wore these in 29 degree weather and it was enough to keep me warm. I got the S Petite.Spanx,S,,5’3-5’4Continue reading “Faux Leather Leggings”
Eline Turtleneck Sweater
I’m one of those people who has literally a gazillion black turtlenecks but will always buy yet another one 😀 I’m a total sucker for Sandro knits and this one was on sale so how could I help myself? The knit is very lovely and I really like the jewelry detail. I get asked allContinue reading “Eline Turtleneck Sweater”
Raquel Dress
This is a bit larger than my usual size 2, but it really bothers me when the buttons stretch around the chest/torso! I appreciated a little extra room to breathe/eat. ? I can’t express how much I love this dress. It’s a good length and the fabric is a breathable but sturdy mid-weight.Sezane,4,$205,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Dress,French Brands,SizeContinue reading “Raquel Dress”
Lucas Jumper
This is beautifully constructed, and I love the unique buttons.Sezane,XXS,$145,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,French Brands,Jumper,Size XXS,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Darius Jumper
This is also a beautiful heavy weight, love the color, but it might be too bright for me.Sezane,XXS,$90,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,French Brands,Jumper,Size XXS,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Christie Jacket
I am obsessed with this. It’s a lovely heavy weight, and looks oversized, but isn’t overwhelming. Color is very rich.Sezane,0,$225,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Blazer,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size 0 All Reviews,Senreve
Curiosite Bracelet
Combines two things that Hermes does best: (1) soft buttery Barenia leather and (2) innovative closures. I think this line also allows you to further embellish with charms so you can change it up according to your style as needed. Classic yet personalize-able!Hermes,n/a,$570,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Jewelry,Luxury Brands,n/a All Reviews,Hermes
Othello Cardigan
This is so soft, but I’m not sure if the color does anything for me. And the sleeves are a little loose.Sezane,XXS,$150,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Cardigan,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size XXS All Reviews,Sezane
Paula Babies
These are great for narrow feet, but I’m not sure I can justify the price, since they’re not an everyday shoe. Not clear to me how you get good wear out of these or how to style them for every day.Sezane,Shoe Size 9,$215,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,French Brands,Shoe Size 9,Shoes All Reviews,Sezane
Chlo Shirt
I had been on the fence about Chlo since it’s a bit feminine for me with the ruffles, and I tend to like bolder pieces. but I went for it because I love how you all have been styling it. The color is really gorgeous and I can’t bear to return it!Sezane,0,$130,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,TopsContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”
Embroidered Ombre Knot Clutch
A Bottega classic in a fun asymmetrical print. The workmanship and leather quality is insane. In my view, the only downside is that phones have grown so much that most will not fit but maybe it wouldn’t hurt to go phone-free every now and then. Either that or just make sure your outfit (or yourContinue reading “Embroidered Ombre Knot Clutch”
Canvas Large Bride-a-Bac Pouch
Love that it’s roomy (fits iPad mini, phone, wallet, small bottle of water) and easy to use – if you didn’t want to zip it, it would still be closed enough that you wouldn’t be worried about your items being stolen – but canvas, even Hermes canvas, is still canvas at the end of theContinue reading “Canvas Large Bride-a-Bac Pouch”
