hated this bag when it first came out but definitely grew on me over the years especially the long shoulder strap and open top for easy access – the mixed metals is also a nice touch and the bag did not feel heavy – the large size can fit a laptop vertically (though the topContinue reading “Gabrielle in Large, Metallic Gold”

Crocs Off-White Mega Crush Sandals
i know crocs? what? as a long time never-croc-er, i get it, but crocs is kinda having a design moment – a beige color shoe really elongates the legs (assuming that’s your skin tone) and the platform is extra flattering – the downside though is it runs very large so size down (a full sizeContinue reading “Crocs Off-White Mega Crush Sandals”
blue megablister leather gloves
so so SO disappointed in Rick Owens – the color (sorry about the lighting) is as advertised (and gorgeous) but the leather had the thickness and texture of tissue paper and not the supple squishy goodness you would expect from $500+ gloves (ok I got on sale for $200 but still!) // loved that itContinue reading “blue megablister leather gloves”
Rhett Dress
I’m in love! 💞 😍 Ordered a size 4 for my usual 4 and it was perfect – the waist tie tightens the middle so I wasn’t too concerned about sizing down. I was more concerned about the waist bands being too tight. Feminine, fabric could be better (50% viscose and you can feel it),Continue reading “Rhett Dress”
Sybelle Dress, Jaelle Dress
I’ve only been shopping at Sezane for 2 years but even if this short time period there’s been a dramatic decline in quality. I stayed up for the Archives Paris drop, and while the selection was very meh, I was still excited to try on what I did end up buying. Today my order arrived…Continue reading “Sybelle Dress, Jaelle Dress”
Rome Shorts
As a newly obsessed owner of the Rome shorts in denim, I just came here to throw some notes out about the fit. I am 5’6″ and about 155lbs. I carry most of my weight in the hip/bum/thigh region so pants are always a pain for me to get especially since (proportion wise) I feelContinue reading “Rome Shorts”
Tina Bag
It’s significantly larger than the measurements shown on the website and it is not as much an khaki green as an olive brown. The handles are reddish-orange-brown and they bang together horribly when you close it, they also don’t line up when closed. The interior has no zippered are or pockets. It is a doubleContinue reading “Tina Bag”
Daria Linen Dress
Super cute dress! I actually saw this dress online and didn’t realize all the little details like the corset-y boning thingie (not actual boning, just seams) but it’s just a nice design detail that I totally missed when I was browsing online. Great casual summer dress! I’m usually a 4-6 in dresses and I triedContinue reading “Daria Linen Dress”
Cream Boucle Mini Jacket Dress
My first Self Portrait purchase! I was a little nervous as I got this on sale and I had never tried this brand before. The design is pretty true to the product image except I didn’t realize how sparkly it was in person! I took some close ups of the fabric so you can seeContinue reading “Cream Boucle Mini Jacket Dress”
Ballet Mockneck Sleeveless Bodysuit in Mauve
I had wanted this bodysuit for a long time and probably read every single review on the Commando website but couldn’t see pictures. The one thing that I was very worried about was transparency but the reviews weren’t very specific about whether the item was transparent or not and I think that’s because if youContinue reading “Ballet Mockneck Sleeveless Bodysuit in Mauve”
Carolyn Flat in Mesh and Patent Leather
SUPER classy flats! They look great with tights too. I love the mesh fabric which is sexy without being over-the-top like of other mesh flats that are so in vogue right now. The point toe shape is also classic and feminine. Easy to slip on as well. Will be a great staple for any workingContinue reading “Carolyn Flat in Mesh and Patent Leather”
O’Keefe Wool-Blend Midi-Dress
I’ve been looking for the Hazel dress and I only realized when I tried it on that it WASN’T the Hazel. This one is called the O’Keefe and I don’t think it looks great. It’s the bustline – the Hazel has more of a sweetheart bust line which feels feminine and more sophisticated. Also, thisContinue reading “O’Keefe Wool-Blend Midi-Dress”
Erine Dress
i quite like this dress! I like the button details although I did the positioning was kind of weird – I thought it would be at the top of the shoulder but they’re unexpectedly lower down. Not necessarily a bad thing, just wasn’t something that I expected. Fabric is pretty nice too and I thoughtContinue reading “Erine Dress”
Stacy Jumper
SO I would normally wear a size S in Sezane tops but they were out of stock of the Stacy in that size so I grabbed the L just to feel the fabric. Holy mother of god – all I can say is, do not buy this jumper unless 1) you have a white catContinue reading “Stacy Jumper”
Chlo Shirt
I’m an existing Chlo lover (have it in dark blue and stripes). I really thought this lace was beautiful but I didn’t like how stiff the fabric was. I honestly felt like I was wearing a tablecloth or something. I couldn’t seem to get the collar to stay down so it looked very 2000s withContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”
Lea Ankle Boot
I popped into the London Bobbies store because I had been bombarded with their ads on Instagram and I was curious. I tried on the Lea ankle boots in Cabernet because I remember seeing these ads and the product pics looked so nice. The first thing i immediately noticed was the crease and that wasContinue reading “Lea Ankle Boot”
Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress
Nice dress but it’s basically stretchy polyester. Something about the bust/waist area didn’t quite work for me and the fabric honestly felt a little cheap. Reiss felt like a much higher quality brand a few years ago but recently I think they’ve really cheaped out on fabrics so I definitely try to be a littleContinue reading “Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress”
Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress
Very flattering silhouette. I tried it on neutral, got worried about getting it dirty, then tried it on in Mocha, and then decided the Neutral was a better fit for my skin tone. It’s a maxi dress with a funnel neck so it feels like it’s a lot of fabric but with a more form-fittingContinue reading “Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress”
