I am SO torn about this blouse. I really do like it but I wondered how much use I’ll get out of it. It’s just such a fun blouse. The sleeves are incredibly big for a size 4. I decided to return it.,,,

Mini Wells Dress
I bought this as part of the STAUD EOY sale which was 30% off the original price. I’m a big fan of fit and flare dresses. Sizing worked out. I got the 6 (measurements are 35-29-37). The bust area is a little loose and I have to be careful with the kind of bra –Continue reading “Mini Wells Dress”
Eva Shirt
Bought this shirt a few weeks ago and it’s really lovely. Amazing fabric!Sezane,10,$70,5’7-5’8 5’7-5’8,Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,Size 10,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Gabby Dress
Another beautiful dress. The linen feels so luxurious and high quality. If funds were endless I would keep this.Sezane,4,$215,5’9-5’10 5’9-5’10,Dress,French Brands,Size 4 All Reviews,Sezane
Classic Ballerina Bracelet
I love my bracelet. It’s so elegant. It’s like wearing a combination of jewelry version with a repetto ballet shoe which is the jewelry of ballet shoes.LEA Poesie,n/a,$125,5’1-5’2 5’1-5’2,French Brands,Jewelry All Reviews,LEA Poesie
Ariane Dress
Size 36 (S). This is lovely and sweet. Just not my favourite. Would consider repurchasing if it ever makes it to archives.Sezane,4,$215,5’9-5’10 5’9-5’10,Dress,French Brands,Size 4 All Reviews,Sezane
Norabel Dress
Love this one, though perhaps prefer a longer style for a wedding. Tempted to keep anyway as it is so easy to wear and dress up or down. Looks fab with a blazer too.Sezane,6,$195,5’9-5’10 5’9-5’10,Dress,French Brands,Size 6 All Reviews,Sezane
Java Puffer Jacket
an Archives fail! The Java Puffer Jacket (36). It’s huge, sounds like a trash bag, has brought me great amusement.. and it will be returned. I am usually an XS/S/34/36 in tops depending on the style, for reference.Sezane,4,$134, Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Jacket,Size 4 All Reviews,Sezane
Original Cheeky Jean
Not really digging these jeans. I got the 27 but I probably should’ve gotten the 26 for it to be more flattering. I think the pic probably looks nicer than it actually does in real life… I don’t love it but I also don’t have many jeans so it is what it is… Fabric isContinue reading “Original Cheeky Jean”
Crepe Knit Gold Button Jacket
I heard of this brand through some of my colleagues (I work in finance and there are some extra stylish ladies around me). I had never heard of this Australian brand but the fabric felt amazing and it was so sleek, chic and professional. I happened to find a store when I was in SydneyContinue reading “Crepe Knit Gold Button Jacket”
Yulianaland Boot
I think these boots are a great example of how shopping online versus in person can be so different. I remember seeing these boots on the SW website and thinking I would never get a boot like this. The shape looked off and I didn’t think the heel could ever be comfortable. I went toContinue reading “Yulianaland Boot”
Brut Sexy
I got these jeans because people seemed to rave about them online but here’s a contrarian opinion. I don’t think these are flattering at all. The denim is quite stiff with limited stretch. I just think the fit is kind of off – like if they were more fitted, I think it would work forContinue reading “Brut Sexy”
Long Coat with Wide Woolen Collar
Sadly this coat is no longer available to buy online. Nevertheless, it’s a winter staple for me! I love the length, the oversized collar, and it’s very comfortable on cold winter days. Very stylish too!Maje,S,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,S Uncategorized
Connor Long Coat
My husband gifted me this coat after seeing it on one of my friends. My initial reaction was “gosh this is going to be very heavy and stiff” but I was very surprised once I put it on that it was extremely comfortable. It is surprisingly lightweight given the length and amount of fabric. IContinue reading “Connor Long Coat”
Michel Jumpsuit
1st time ordering online – was buying other French brands available locally as I’m always worried about the size and quite lazy (and too disappointed) to do returns ? 1st time also ordering from the archives and it’s been a positive experience, order arrived very fast. I was worried to order 34 as i thoughtContinue reading “Michel Jumpsuit”
Charles Coat
Got the size 6 (when I would normally get a 4) because it was the only size left. I really love the style but is it too big for me to pull it off? I really love the color/pattern and my friends/family all said keep so I think I’m going to keep this one.Sezane,6,$305,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Coat,Coats/Jackets,FrenchContinue reading “Charles Coat”
Lukas Trousers
Size US10/EU42 — my normal size wasn’t available in the Archives, and the guidance on the site says to size up so I got one size up. I was swimming in these. I would get your normal size or even go one size down. For reference, I am 5’6″ and my measurements are 34B-28-39.Sezane,10,$90,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,FrenchContinue reading “Lukas Trousers”
Eric Trousers
Size US8/EU40 — beautiful wine color, very soft and comfortable. As with all Sezane pants, it fits big in the waist and is of course way too long. I’ll have to have a tailor take it in at the waist and hem them. I am 5’6″ and my measurements are 34B-28-39.Sezane,8,$105,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,French Brands,Pants,Size 8 AllContinue reading “Eric Trousers”
