What I bought this week: Glossier You Candle
Item(s): You Candle from Glossier. Reason: Just FYI, this would have also covered the Glossier Holiday Kits, but I ordered the You candle two weeks before the Holiday Kits came out… and my order for their Holiday Kits has been cancelled FIVE times and their customer service STILL hasn’t gotten back to me about how…

What I bought this week: A.P.C. x Jane Birkin T-Shirt
Item(s): A.P.C. x Jane Birkin London t-shirt, in white. Reason: … because Jane Birkin, of course. Since it’s a seasonal item (or “collaboration”) and not a standard t-shirt you can buy at any time, I didn’t include it in my white t-shirt challenge. I don’t love buying expensive t-shirts… and this APC x Jane Birkin…

What I bought this week: We Are Doré
Item(s): Le Trio from We Are Doré, which includes… Le Baume, Le Cleanser, and La Crème. Reason: I enjoyed Garance Doré’s blog (when it was a thing) and her book (still in publication). … and I also really enjoy French pharmacies. It’s true — if I’m in France or a French off-shoot, like St. Barths,…
-
What I bought this week: Guppyfriend Washing Bag
Item(s): Guppyfriend Washing Bag Reason: … because microplastics are in synthetic clothing and that’s not OK! Seriously, I didn’t know this before. … but, it’s true. When you throw synthetic fibre clothing in the washing machine (at whatever temperature) microplastics/fibres are released and then the grey water from our washing machines basically is drained into…

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 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. Reason: This is my third time buying Jillian Dempsey eye masks. At $75 USD, they’re kinda expensive for a set of 10… but, they really brighten your under-eye area. To…
-
What I bought this week: Byredo Roll-On Perfume Oil
Item(s): Byredo Roll-On Perfume Oil in Mojave Ghost… plus, I asked for a free sample of Bal D’Afrique. Reason: Byredo’s Tree House candle is in my top 3 re-buy candles. It makes sense (scents?), since Byredo began their brand with the best way for us to literally burn our money — candles. Tree House is…
-
What I bought this week: Skincare and clothing care
Item(s):Charlotte Tilbury Cryo Recovery Mask, Sulwhasoo Clarifying mask, and the Laundress Delicate Wash Reason: Listen, after my Clarisonic face cleaner, I was like “never am I getting sucked into a trendy skincare device again.” However, this Charlotte Tilbury Cryo mask is $55, so it doesn’t really break the bank. … at the same time, after…
-
What I bought this week: The Row and those awful flip flops
Item(s): The Row “Biggins” camisole and Tkees Liner flip flops Reason: “But Yuki, aren’t you saving for that Burberry trench coat.” Yes, yes I am. … however, my SA texted me that they received the 22S Chanel heart bag and I did not buy it, so I saved like (ok, exactly) $5,697.75 USD there (edit:…
-
What I bought this week: New glasses
Item(s): Airframe Bold Oversized eye glasses, in Crystal, from Jins. Reason: The thing is, designer frames are nice and all, but getting your lenses put in after they arrive is such a hassle and more expensive — like, I want them to come at that price with my prescription in them. So, I prefer buying…
