I’ve come to a recent realization that after two kids, my days of 4″ stilettos are over. However, I still love beautiful shoes and wanted something professional and versatile that I could wear for multiple hours at a time. I figured I would give these block heels a try. Plus, I saw Kate Middleton wearContinue reading “85 Piper Pump”

Soft Tailored Ruffle Detailed Jumpsuit
I have only bought things on sale there because the sale is so good. The items I’ve received are really high quality IMO. You can see the pictures below for the details. The sizing I think is true to size, maybe even a little big. I had a couple of pieces altered but I mayContinue reading “Soft Tailored Ruffle Detailed Jumpsuit”
Anya Low Court Shoes
My normal shoe size is 7.5 so I sized up here to an 8 which turned out to be a bit too big for me. It might have been better to size down to a 7. The annoying thing about shoes is that it’s hard to tell what the fit is like until you walkContinue reading “Anya Low Court Shoes”
Alberello Shorts
It’s yellow and perfect length (no buttcheeks peeking out). The fabric is a bit thick/heavy and I think I can get all seasons use out of it. It has POCKETS! I’m about 165cm (5’5) and usually wear EUR 38 (US 6) in dresses and EUR 38/40 (US 6/8) in pants.Sezane,8,$135,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,French Brands,Shorts,Size 8 All Reviews,Sezane,Shorts
Elaine Dress
In terms of sizing, I’m about 165cm (5’5) and usually wear EUR 38 (US 6) in dresses and EUR 38/40 (US 6/8) in pants. Shiny but OH-SO-ITCHY. The dress is noticeably heavy. I only managed to try the dress once but it gave me temporary rashes on my arms and neck.Sezane,6,$285,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size 6 AllContinue reading “Elaine Dress”
Tabata Skirt
Size 40 (FR) / Size 8 (US). I love the print and color. I sized up and got a 40 because it’s silk and not likely to stretch. It also solves my small waist, big hips problem. For sizing, I’m 165cm with relatively longer legs compared to my torso. I’m usually EUR 38 / USContinue reading “Tabata Skirt”
Macie Blouse
This is a true case of fantasy and reality do not line up at all! Use the link above to see how the product is marketed and check out what it really looks like below! I kid you not – this top was so bright and sparkly, it looked like something I would wear toContinue reading “Macie Blouse”
Chlo Shirt
Ugh, I’m so bummed about this shirt. This shirt is GORGEOUS. The beautiful buttons, the collar details, the lovely silky feel… There was no gaping at all which is not always the case (bought the size 4 which is my usual size). Unfortunately, it was totally utterly see-through. I’m wearing a nude bra which isContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”
Augusto Trousers
I got the EU40 in these. My waist is 30inch, hips 40in. These fit just right in the hips with just a small gap in the waist which is typical for me with respect to Sezane trousers. They’re 100% cotton with little, to no stretch and they are thick and structured like traditional denim. TheContinue reading “Augusto Trousers”
Scott Trench Coat
I got a size US4 (EU 36). I typically wear a size 4, sometimes size 2. Since I live in a hot climate, I didn’t feel the need to size up to fit bulky sweaters, and I think this is a good fit. There’s a little extra room, but probably not enough for a thickContinue reading “Scott Trench Coat”
Doha Tie Waist Dress
This dress was part of my “return to office” purchases – after years of leggings and sweats, I had to refresh my roster of work dresses. I found this dress on the ba&sh website and thought the silhouette looked like it would be fairly forgiving which it totally was. It came with a belt whichContinue reading “Doha Tie Waist Dress”
Jazmynn Satin Stretch Skinny Jeans
LOVE THESE JEANS! So glad I bought these. My trusty AG jeans split at the butt in a moment of humiliation after only two years which I find to be unacceptable for denim. The last time I went to an AG store, I was very underwhelmed with the designs, especially at that price point. TheseContinue reading “Jazmynn Satin Stretch Skinny Jeans”
Jadis Cowl Neck Sleeveless Top
$122 (originally $175). This top definitely falls into the bucket of “would not have purchased if I were browsing online” but in the store, the fabric just looked so chic. Plus, I feel like a satin dressy top is a must for every woman. I got my usual size (size 1 in Ted Baker lingo,Continue reading “Jadis Cowl Neck Sleeveless Top”
Niels Shorts
Love these shorts! Super cute and functional. In terms of sizing, my butt is around 39″ and the size 6 fit me perfectly. I wear them basically all summer. Easy to maintain, easy to style, and super comfy too. Sezane,6,$125,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,French Brands,Shorts,Size 6 All Reviews,Sezane,Shorts

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”
MOA Black Nappa Flat
Size 38 (US 7.5) I bought these shoes after a couple of failed experiments purchasing emerging designer brands (see my review on ALLY Shoes and Margaux). I think in short, while these shoes are very design-forward and eye-catching, I think the quality could definitely be better. So first and foremost, the shoes are super comfy.Continue reading “MOA Black Nappa Flat”
Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress
I love the concept behind this dress – it looks like the perfect spring/summer weekend dress as you chase around your kids. I think this kind of dress looks really flattering on women who are long and lean. When you’re 5’6 and 135lbs, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I think if the necklineContinue reading “Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress”
