Yayyy! My favorites at Massimo Dutti are on sale!

The trench in my usual size S was too small (shoulders too tight). I’m getting it in a medium.

My shoe size is 38.5. The correct way for me to order their shoes in the US: size 8. The shoes are marked eu 39, which is my usual strategy for full sizes and fits well here. I first ordered size 39 on the website, and they shipped size 40 eu, which was too big. I love their shoes.

I’m wearing size small in the abstract leopard midi, and the top in size small is great, too (it’s a relaxed fit).

I’m getting the capris! Glad they’re back in stock. I missed out on them last spring.

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.

As of today, the price of gold is $85.61 per gram, and sterling silver is $0.9904 per gram. It’s fascinating to compare the price of jewelry from new to preloved, and I appreciate that The Real Real lists the weight in grams for each piece.

1. Hermes’ necklace is 18k gold. J.Crew’s pieces are brass, gold-plated recycled zinc, and cubic zirconia.

2. Both Hermes and Etsy use sterling silver. The Etsy mariner necklaces are come in 4.6mm to 14mm; the Hermès necklace is 10mm wide.

3. The Herakles Knot Ring from The Met Store is 14K gold plate over 925 Sterling silver base. Hermès’ ring is 18k gold.

4. The Hermès bracelet is sterling silver, and Mango is 100% zinc.

5. The Hermès necklace is 18k gold, and Mango uses 85% brass, 8% stainless steel, 5% zinc, 2% acrylic.

Lots of brands have mariner chain necklaces now, but J.Crew’s gold tone is warm, rich, and beautiful. Cos looks a bit too green to me.#classicstyle #hermes #jewelry#LTKHoliday

My signature gold necklace from J.Crew is now on back order, so I had to find alternatives. I narrowed it down to a few pieces at Etsy - bonus, I found silver, too.

The Hermès necklace is 10mm wide fyi.

The Etsy gold necklace comes in bracelet lengths, too.

I love getting what I love for less, I mean who doesn’t? The sailor jeans + sparkly lady jacket formula feels so right: it’s easygoing, it’s festive, and it’s pieces you can wear in many different ways.

I’m wearing:
J.Crew High-rise sailor denim trouser in 1996 semi-stretch, Dani Beca wash, size 25
Mango sequin jacket with pockets, size small (but I’ve seen the J.Crew mariner jacket with sequins and prefer its neatness)
Valentino Garavani 2001 100mm Loafer Pump Heel, color: Nero & Ivory, size 38.5

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes. Size 38.5 shoes.

I love this necklace so much, so I’m hoping it’ll work out for someone else! Here are other recommendations as well. I’ve loved Hermès’ Chain d’Ancre collection, so I am very happy to see these pieces that are also inspired by the marine chain

I am so impressed by J.Crew’s jewelry lately! The gold has a beautiful tone, which is not easy to pull off. Some treasures at Mango as well - now with a 30% off code.

These marine-chain inspired pieces remind me of the Chain d’Ancre range from Hermès, which I have been loving for years. #classicstyle

Were my purchases worth it? What’s staying for keeps and what’s going back?#jcrew

I am loving the gold tone at J.Crew - it’s gold-plated brass. Gold tones are not easy to execute it well, and I am so happy with my recent J.Crew jewelry purchases.

Of course, The Met brings inspiration from history and gorgeous gold plating as well.

I’m wearing the Massimo Dutti Trench coat with belt in camel, size small, but a medium would fit me better.

Uniqlo’s size S fits me – it’s a slim fit, too.

I’m wearing the Massimo shoes in size 8 - which is really 39 European. You order an 8, and that’s what they send you. I’m a 38.5, so that’s perfect for me.

I love contrasting the plush texture of corduroy with a sleek leather shoe. The loafers are the classic choice, and it’s such a polished, effortless look. I do love the pointy flat - with a sheer black sock to create a sleek line and add allure.

I’m wearing:

Caramel cords: J.Crew Sailor slim-wide pant in stretch corduroy, color: Rich Coffee, size 25

Sweater: Italic Emma Cashmere Relaxed Turtleneck Sweater, ivory, size S

Loafers: 8 by Yoox Polish Leather Penny Loafer, color: black, size 9

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.

Love this combination: a sparkly lady jacket with sailor jeans. I’m partial to my sailor jeans in velvet, but any dark jean would look great.

I saw this J.Crew jacket in person. It’s well done. The trims look good, too. I love that my Mango jacket is soft, so it drapes well. Wear it closed to avoid the warping along the edges.

My outfit:
Mango Sequin jacket with pockets, size small
Citizens of Humanity Loli Velvet High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans, Burgundy size 26

I’m wearing 100mm Jimmy Choo heels to work with the hem of the jeans.

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.
