For reference- 5’3, about 130lbs, 34C, usually a US size 4/small/27 or 28 in denim depending on the brand. I love these jeans. The button details are so pretty, they’re a great rise for me a few months post-baby, and they are a nice dressy color that can be dressed up or down. I didContinue reading “Marino Trousers”

Short Ruffled Dress
Love this dress! I thought the shape was super flattering. I would probably add another button at the neckline to make it work appropriate because it is a little bit too cleavage-y. I was astonished at the price (more than $450) which I thought was kind of crazy for a Maje dress that was madeContinue reading “Short Ruffled Dress”
Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater
Putting this top on my wishlist. I didn’t like it enough to buy outright especially at the price ($175 seemed a tad steep for a basic top). I like the sweetheart neckline but it is quite wide so wearing a regular bra might be a challenge. Actually that was part of the reason why I didn’tContinue reading “Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater”
Maude Rib Knit Top
I wanted a classic short sleeve knit top – nothing complicated. However, something about this fit seemed a little off. I do have fairly broad shoulders but this really didn’t feel like it flattered my upper body. It made my shoulders look really broad and also rounded if that makes sense…? Something just looked ratherContinue reading “Maude Rib Knit Top”
Short Patterned Knit Dress
I ALMOST bit the bullet on this one. I thought the shape was super flattering. Love the square neck and the fabric is thick enough to hide lumps and bumps but stretchy enough that it’s quite comfortable. I also really liked the flared skirt but it was a bit TOO flared, if that makes sense.Continue reading “Short Patterned Knit Dress”
Short Knit Dress
I have some knit dresses from Maje and this one was a total miss. The fabric was not the really nice quality knit that I’m used to. Honestly it felt like really cheap fabric that you would get from Zara or Forever 21 (RIP). As a result, the shape was not flattering at all. Also,Continue reading “Short Knit Dress”
Silk Winter Floral Print Blouse
I love this blouse! The color, the fabric covered buttons…. So utterly gorgeous. Unfortunately I really don’t wear a lot of color so I didn’t think this was something I would consistently reach for in my closet. I did try to see if they had the same style in a more neutral color but theContinue reading “Silk Winter Floral Print Blouse”
Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami
I saw one of the store assistants wear this shirt and she made it look so fabulous! I didn’t like it on me at all however. It felt very prim and proper, a bit too buttoned up and “school librarian”. I love the details individually (the cuffs, the collar, the lace, the bells sleeves\0 butContinue reading “Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami”
Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress
Mmmm NOPE. My streak of no-good Me+Em maxi dresses continues! Really nice fabric, which this brand is known for, but I always think that this brand is really made for long and lean body shapes. I’m 5’5ish so not super tall and something about the shoulder area kind of bothered me. I felt like itContinue reading “Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress”
Short Sequinned Skater Skirt
Very fun skirt. It’s a stiff fabric so it keeps the flare. The elastic is pretty strong so this may not be comfortable for some ladies but it was fine for me. Flattering silhouette but not something I would wear very often. I also feel like I have too many fit/flare skirts in my closetContinue reading “Short Sequinned Skater Skirt”
Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar
Ugh, this shirt felt like a DREAM! Such beautiful fabric, so soft on the body… TOO BAD IT’S TOTALLY SEE-THROUGH! Honestly, I never understand brands that make these shirts that are completely sheer because now I have to go find another tank top that is just as delicate as the shirt. I also think thatContinue reading “Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar”
Short Draped Dress
Nice dress but one of those styles where it’s hard to envision wearing it on many occasions. I like the sheer sleeves and I like that the decolletage area isn’t sheer so it’s a little bit more modest but honestly it just felt too much like a young woman’s party dress. Not something I couldContinue reading “Short Draped Dress”
Daniela Silk Dress
Ugh I LOVE THIS DRESS! Such a classic! The fabric was also glorious (silk). This is very high on my potential shopping list for a formal event. True to size and I like that while formfitting, it wasn’t like a clinging dress that shows all the lumps and bumps. It is quite long though soContinue reading “Daniela Silk Dress”
Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top
To be honest, not a fan. I think the swing silhouette isn’t really for me – I like having more fitted styles especially around the waist which is most flattering for me. I also don’t like that my so-called t-shirt bra is still visible. Fabric is nice, I’m wearing my usual size (size 4). JustContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top”
Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte
I’m not a pants person but I wanted to try these on and I loved it! They’re elastic so super comfortable. I generally struggle with pants and their length but I actually love this look. The reason why I ended up not getting these is because I don’t quite have the right tops to pullContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte”
Like a Cloud Longline Bra
This is my first time getting a sports bra from Lululemon and I love it! I actually was recommended this style by a friend who had gotten it before and I can definitely see why. It’s super comfortable and I actually ended up wearing it while traveling from Asia to the US for a fullContinue reading “Like a Cloud Longline Bra”
Belted scalloped embroidered linen-blend playsuit
I love Farm Rio! They really have great stuff. This one fits like a glove and it was fantastic for a nice occasion weekend. I didn’t mind the deep V and found the silhouette to be very flattering. Lovely fabrics and colors as always.Farm Rio,size 4,,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Jumpsuits/Rompers,Romper,Size 4 All Reviews,Farm Rio
Babaton Futurism Satin Skirt
Channeling my inner 50s in this skirt. They didn’t have my size 6 so I tried a size 4. It worked although admittedly it’s a tad tight especially after lunch. Love the fabric and it does feel very dressy! I’m 5’6 and it’s definitely more ankle-length than just-below-the-knee length on the model. Fabric is gorgeous.Aritzia,sizeContinue reading “Babaton Futurism Satin Skirt”
