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”

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”
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”
Zaria Jumper
Size S — my photo doesn’t do it justice, but the color is lovely. The reason I’m on the fence is that I cannot figure out how to tie the sash around the neck. The fabric is thick and it lays strangely. It would’ve been better if they had just made it a mock neck.Continue reading “Zaria Jumper”
Willy Short
Size US8/EU40 — my biggest issue with these are that they are BROWN and green, not CREAM and green as the photos imply. The fit was a little big. Sezane bottoms tend to be tight in the hips and loose on the waist for me, but this is cut generous in the waist. For reference,Continue reading “Willy Short”
Luan Dress
Fit fine. I don’t think this “shapeless dress with no drape” works well on me. The color is lovely and it was not itchy at all. For reference, I am 5’6″ and my measurements are 34B-28-39.Sezane,S,$180,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size S All Reviews,Sezane
Angelita Dress
Fit was good and color was nice too, but I realized I have something too similar. A little itchy. For reference, I am 5’6″ and my measurements are 34B-28-39.Sezane,M,$135,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size M All Reviews,Sezane
Eva Shirt
It fits but I’m not in love so I’ll send it back. It looks kind of like a chef’s jacket—not into it!Sezane,6,70,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Button-Down Shirt,French Brands,Size 6,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Connor Long Coat
I’ve been on the market for a solid winter coat this whole season. I was debating buying a higher end brand but it was really tough for me to justify shelling out ~$1k for a winter coat. I saw this coat on the Aritzia website and honestly I was a bit skeptical – a $400Continue reading “Connor Long Coat”
Short Sleeve Tweed Dress
Got it on sale for 120 US dollars +8 dollars Tax. The waist is a bit big so I used a belt. Overall very happy with the purchase, the dress has very nice quality and I can see myself wearing it for many years.Sandro,,$174 (on yoox),5’5-5’6 Dress,French Brands Sandro
Alight Halter Mini Dress
I’ve never tried on anything from Zimmerman but their items do look really beautiful. I do always question who exactly is the audience for this brand – the items look like something you would wear to an upscale beach party but it’s so insanely priced! This dress is a good example. It’s a super cuteContinue reading “Alight Halter Mini Dress”
Helena High-Rise Skinny Jean
I’ve been looking to replace my two AG jeans for months. I really loved the look of these jeans and I think I must’ve added to my cart and then gave up so many times. I ended up buying them and I’m really glad I did! Pros: I love the style. The high rise isContinue reading “Helena High-Rise Skinny Jean”
Leontine Jumper
I got two colors of the Leontine jumper! Ultimately I don’t think this style is for me. For reference, I am 5’6 and 142 lbs and got size small. I feel like the jumpers are a little short in the wrists for me.Sezane,S,$125,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,French Brands,Jumper,Size S,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
Reserve Boot
I’ve been on the hunt for boots for awhile. Full disclosure, I used to have SW 5050s which I must’ve bought 10 years ago and they lasted a super long time. When they finally died (the heel fabric was completely ripped and weren’t salvageable but I figured after a decade, it was time for aContinue reading “Reserve Boot”
