Sizing is different for each style, but… | a MOTHER Denim Review
It’s hard for denim brands to differentiate themselves. … like they all sell the same thing — jeans. MOTHER denim though? There’s this air of California light that surrounds on them. You know the kind I’m talking about — that Echo Park Indie Princess California aura of, ummm, coolness. Fringe is cut by themself, fridge…

Surprisingly cool | Loro Piana shoe review
I spend a lot of my time wondering why nice things are so expensive. From carpets for the living room to skincare and even a Venti Skinny Vanilla latte, everything costs a ludicrous amount of money these days. You could say it’s my Roman Empire, but I don’t want to give it that much credence.…

Trying to stay warm out here | Max Mara coat review
Maybe it’s because I’m a Cancer that I cling to the past. … but, I had this beautiful camel coloured peacoat that was given to me as a hand-me-down as a child from a family friend with impeccable taste. It had oversized lapels, horn buttons, and it fit me to a T. I wore it…

Beyond the whisper: Loro Piana’s Extra Bag Review
Is it possible to write a review about Loro Piana without mentioning “quiet luxury?” I’d like to imagine that I could have gone this entire review of their Extra bag without even whispering a notion to that term, but, I can’t. The thing about “quiet luxury,” is that people should be quiet about it. No…
