What I bought this week: Maelove Skincare
Item(s): Maelove The One Cream and Glow Maker Antioxidant Serum. Reason: I heard that Maelove’s Glow Maker serum is a solid dupe for Skinceuticals Vitamin C serum (~$170 USD) and since I’m at the bottom of the Skinceuticals bottle, I figured I should try Maelove’s next. Similar to Skinceuticals’ serum, I’m not entirely sure that…

What no one is admitting | A Prada Loafers Sizing Review
This isn’t my first time at the rodeo. … maybe I shouldn’t be using a Western rodeo as an expression for my experience with Prada’s Italian loafers, but you can’t teach an old dog horse new tricks idioms. It’s true though, in 2009 my dad bought me my first pair of Prada loafers since I…

Will it make me sleep better? A Lunya Silk Pajamas Review
I don’t remember how or when I heard about Lunya. … it was probably during one of my (many) silk slip dress searches. Lunya’s thing is high quality pajamas — like high quality nice pajamas. Every night I just throw on a beat up blink-182 t-shirt to sleep — hoping for dreams where I’m front…

Celine Sunglasses Review ft. Triomphe, Baby Audrey vs. Audrey, and more
Are you team Phoebe or team Hedi? I am team “I-See-Philostans’-points-but-still-like-Hedi-a-lot.” … but when it comes to Céline’s Celine’s sunglasses, it doesn’t even matter. While all three of my Celine sunglasses were purchased under Phoebe’s tenure, Hedi continues to put out the Baby Audreys and some killer cat eye shades. Since they haven’t changed under…

Telfar Bag Review: I (somehow) got the small & medium bags
I hate when people caption their photos on Instagram, or whatever the latest social media is, with… “You can’t sit with us.” 1- That’s not even the best quote from Mean Girls.2- Why do you want to make other people feel bad? Honestly, that caption feels noxious and obnoxious.

What I bought this week: (Boring) Goop order
Item(s): Jillian Dempsey eye masks, goop Beauty “The Martini” Emotional Detox Bath Soak (not pictured), and a Gwyneth Paltrow x Copper Fit Knee Compression Sleeve.

How to Dress for Rain in the Summer… and not ruin your shoes
Panamá is primarily a jungle-based climate. If it isn’t raining, it’s threatening to rain. Basically, three months of the year are considered “dry.” … so, I deal with a lot of rain on a day-to-day basis. At this point in my life, I’m done tempting fate by wearing “nice” leather ballet flats when I want…

Birkenstock Arizona EVA review | THE waterproof sandal?
This all started because I got caught in the rain a few times. … and by a few times, I mean like a lot of times. See, I never really felt a strong desire for a pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals. No matter how hard I try, I’ll never be Kate Moss in the 90’s.…

Free your feet | Freedom Moses sandals sizing review
OK, so I saw these Freedom Moses sandals on Shopbop and thought they were called… Freedom MOOSE. After that, I promptly forgot about them — like, who wants rubber sandals with fake buckles? Fast forward to my vacation in Montreal, where it rained for, like, 1/4 of the trip, and my Stan Smiths sprung a…

How to use Rakuten… and always get a sale
The thing is, I love nice things… but, I also love saving money. Not in like a dumpster diving or hoarding used toilet paper for later Extreme Cheapskates kind of way. It’s more like, if I go to the grocery store and I see that Bigelow peppermint tea is on sale and Stash Moroccan mint…
