I’m 5’1” and 110 lbs. The Viktor coat I knew was going to be long, but I can’t even hem the sleeves because I would lose the button detail. The base colour IRL is more of an oatmeal and not an ecru, which I would have preferred. It looks really Christmasy to me now. DefinitelyContinue reading “Viktor Coat”

Andrew Coat
I’m 5’1” and 110 lbs. The Andrew is quite roomy for the size. The pic here is with the sleeves cuffed up to show how it would look after alterations. Might keep this one I’m a sucker for a drop shoulder coat.Sezane,2,$380,5’1-5’2 5’1-5’2,Coat,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size 2 All Reviews,Sezane
Martin Crop Trousers
This trouser doesn’t fit well to me at all. But I decided to keep it anyway ? Size EU38 (I am 168cm and between the size EU36/38) I bought the 38 (US 6).Sezane,6,$160,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,French Brands,Pants,Size 6 All Reviews,Sezane
Scott Trench Coat
I’m a UK6-8 and got the 36 – true to size for me with room for thicker jumpers. I could have sized down but I have long arms so decided not to. It’s structured and heavier (the right amount) than the usual trench coat, amazing quality.Sezane,4,$305,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Coats/Jackets,French Brands,Size 4,Trench All Reviews,Sezane
Damon Trousers
It’s the 34 for my regular 34. It’s just a bit tight, but I don’t think a size up would work. And I absolutely love it. In terms of color: the colours are warm. The undertone is a warm beige, and the rosewood line sets that tone. The green is a warm khaki, the lightContinue reading “Damon Trousers”
Damon Trousers
The picture is not very good. Its size 40 for my 38-40. I think it sizes slightly smaller in the hips area than the black Damon pants. But I cannot size up as the waist would be too big. I already have space to tuck a knit. For the fabric, it’s thick and warm butContinue reading “Damon Trousers”
Henria Cardigan in Burgundy, Sorena Skirt in Navy
Henria | Burgandy | XXS Paired with my Sorena XXS The color and detail is lovely! I am wearing it with no layers under and my skin is okay with the bit of itchy in some areas. I would still wear this with a layer under for more warmth and comfort. It is SO cozyContinue reading “Henria Cardigan in Burgundy, Sorena Skirt in Navy”
Paula Babies
Sezane dropped more purple clothes and purple boots. I wonder if they tried to go for purple but was harder to do that in leather? Either way, disappointing for those hoping they are more purple but a win for those of us who took a risk on the color name and hoped it would beContinue reading “Paula Babies”
La Chamade Sweatshirt
The Chamades are size medium and I like the relaxed fit. On average i am a 38 for tops. The Rosewood is a duller colour than expected. Unsure if it is the best colour on me.Sezane,M,$120,5’9-5’10 5’9-5’10,French Brands,Size M,Sweatshirt,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Sami Jumper in Natural, Rome Shorts in Black, Paula Babies in Rosy Beige Lacquer
Sami knit (S, buy here, $145) with Rome shorts in black (36 / US 4, buy here, $130) and Paula babies (40, buy here, $215). OMG this is my first pair of Paula babies and I am in love! I want them in every colour! The Rosy Beige is understated but flattering as it reallyContinue reading “Sami Jumper in Natural, Rome Shorts in Black, Paula Babies in Rosy Beige Lacquer”
Arthuro Trousers
Arthuro trousers (36 / US 4) from the archives. I absolutely love the colour but they feel slightly big around the hips/crotch area, and bunch in an unflattering way in real life though this is hard to see in photos. I may order a 34 to try but suspect they will be too small aroundContinue reading “Arthuro Trousers”
Alicia Skirt
Alicia Skirt in 14 – I think I will size down in this if I keep (if possible). The colors are much more vibrant than show in these photos and it’s a lovely skirt. More volume than I was anticipating, but ok for short people maybe?Sezane,14,$150,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Bottoms,French Brands,Size 14,Skirt All Reviews,Sezane
Luke Jumper
This is the itchiest of the three (Henria, Federica, Luke) but it’s still just not very itchy even for my sensitive skin. The embroidery is absolutely gorgeous. I did my first wash in cold water on delicate with wool wash. The Luke required a little stretching and held up well overall. Color: It seems moreContinue reading “Luke Jumper”
Federica Jumper
I sized down. This reminds me of when I did ballet as a child ? It’s a bit whimsical and very pretty. When I took it out of the box a poof of fabric came off, so I would expect a lot of shedding. Again wearing nothing under, and it is not revealing. I’m 5’3Continue reading “Federica Jumper”
Henria Cardigan
This is quite thin but very soft and comfortable. Not nearly as itchy as I anticipated. I’m not wearing anything under and it is not revealing. I did my first wash in cold water on delicate with wool wash. The Henria shrunk dramatically even with this care, so I spent some time to reblock it.Continue reading “Henria Cardigan”
Chlo Shirt
Really recommend this Chlo. I struggle with some extra weight after having kids and this blouse 100% makes me NOT feel like a size 42❤️ Just makes me feel very pretty. And it goes with almost everything in my wardrobe which is a plus?Sezane,10,$125,5’3-5’4 Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,Size 10,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Michele Jacket Solidarity Collection in Mottled Rosewood and Martin Trousers in Powder
Michele Jacket (buy here, $230) – US 8, EU40. I love it! I have broad shoulders and was worried the US6 would be too tight & I was right. This has enough room in the shoulders and arms for another layer but I am not swimming in it. It is more tailored than expected basedContinue reading “Michele Jacket Solidarity Collection in Mottled Rosewood and Martin Trousers in Powder”
Scott Trench Coat
Received my Scott Trench back from the tailor’s today (excuse the casual Saturday outfit ?)! I had the arms shortened (the seamstress also repositioned the cuff loops) and had the hem taken up by a few inches- I’m 5’2″ and the alterations have made all the difference. UK weather is expected to be warm nextContinue reading “Scott Trench Coat”
