Mini, but mighty | Loewe Flamenco Bag Review
During lockdown, my then-boyfriend/now-husband asked what I thought about buying a ranch in Montana and I was like “uhhh…” … but then I was like “well, I always wanted to take up gardening.” By “take up gardening,” I mean buy potted flowers, realise I did not dig the hole big enough, pathetically plant them, try…

Shake your hips | RIXO dress SIZING and quality review
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to start my RIXO dress review… I’ve been deliberating writing about what makes an A+ summer dress. I’ve been wavering about starting it with a ramble about who’s behind the label. … but, this is the best way to kick off this review:

Is it TOO small? | APC Demi Lune Mini bag review
Band of Outsiders and Marc by Marc Jacobs came and went… but, one brand from that delectable 2005-2008 era holds true in our heart and remains in stores: Atelier de Production et de Création. … i.e., A.P.C. So, over a decade later, it makes sense that I’d finally get A.P.C.’s signature bag.

So NOT a jewelry person, but… | Mateo jewelry review
My gold-plated hoops and vintage earrings might say otherwise, but… I’m not a jewelry person. Sure, I’ll get a Tiffany bangle engraved for my mother as a Christmas gift or, along with my husband, surprise my sister with a Cartier Love bracelet after she officiated our wedding. However, for me, personally? Expensive jewelry is too…

Go on, pants me | a Frame Le Cut Off denim shorts review
Do you ever feel like sometimes your denim cut-offs are too casual? Like, you need something more pulled together? Anyways, sometimes I want to look like my life is in order (and that apparently starts by getting non-frayed shorts). With no tears or rips, Frame’s “Le Cutoff” cuffed denim shorts should be the ultimate not…

Debunking THE Instagram shoe | Chanel Dad Sandals review
From the OTT “new Bottega” bunch, the bisou Paris vintage crowd, the Scandi norm-core pack, even the #CottageCore crowd, everyone on Instagram dresses the same. While I will moan and complain about how Instagram ruined personal style, I still got sucked in and bought a pair of the most Instagrammy ~influencer~ shoes that transcends every…

They can just Falke off | a Falke Tights Review
OK, so I ordered Falke tights from Shopbop and they arrived with a hole in them. Kinda weird and definitely annoying, right? What’s more strange and even more frustrating is Shopbop would only refund me if I sent them back. So, I did something I’m not proud of and asked the customer service rep to…

Tights that’ll keep you in check | a SPANX tights review
If you’re like me, winter ushers a chilly snow cloud over your days… From accidentally eating dinner at 5:00pm (because it’s dark out) to generally feeling blergh (because you ate dinner at 5), winter sucks. … and if you’re like me, wearing tights that compress your legs & abdomen is winter’s only silver lining. After…

La grande bellezza | Realisation Par Monica Dress Review
Note: Yuki here — I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Emerald Liu, who lives in Belgium. Emerald & I are constantly chatting about our shared (and might I say excellent) taste in music, literature, and fashion. As a massive fan of her own writing, I’m humbled that Emerald is graciously sharing her thoughts…

Vintage without the hassle | AGOLDE Parker Shorts Review
In 2010, I had this pair of vintage Levi’s denim shorts from What Goes Around Comes Around — I loved them. Side note: Don’t you think people sound so precious when they say their jeans are vintage Levi’s? — it’s like “oh, yes, you’re clever and unique with shorts you can’t readily buy anywhere.” ……
