My first impression. Detailed reviews. Unboxing from major retailers and small brands.

My Max Mara Icon Teddy coat finally arrived! I got it from Farfetch during their pre-Black Friday sale event (over now and the coat sold out) but if you hurry up you can still find it on sale at SSENSE!
If you’re looking for a Teddy coat dupe don’t overthink it and get the one by Aritzia- it’s great quality and it’s on sale right now!
I also linked it from everywhere I could find: Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf, Net-A-Porter and Nordstrom (don’t forget about the double points on your Nordstrom card on designer items!)
The coat is gorgeous, it’s worth every penny as it retains its value even on the second hand market. It’s quite warm and very lightweight at the same time unlike fur coats and shearling coats (usually on the heavier side). It has a chic edge but also feels super casual - wear it with a pair of sneakers, boots or heels. Love!

For moms and moms-to-be alike - these products have become my salvation during the 3rd trimester:
- Lansinoh Breast gel pads (if you're planning or you are breastfeeding warm them up, if you aren' planning to breastfeed and your milk came in - just put them in the freezer for 4 hours and that should help with lactation suppression in combination with a sports bra). Love that they're reusable and the covers are super soft and washable.
- homeoplasmine nipple cream: simply amazing. I tried avocado oil, shea butter and multiple products with petroleum jelly - nothing is quite like this French pharmacy product
- Collistar collagen + hyaluronic acid bust serum: definitely helps with skin elasticity!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBump

Pregnant ladies & moms: ditch your nipple cream and get this 🪄 magic potion 🍯
I’ve heard of homeoplasmine before but I didn’t really try it before it became colder and the air became drier. Perfect for your lips and nipples alike (if you’re breastfeeding make sure to wipe it off prior) it simply works miracles and doesn’t leave any marks on your clothes. It also has a very subtle but nice scent (unlike all the jelly petroleum products).

I just started my nursery shopping! After talking to many parents I know a glider or a recliner is a very important purchase and you’re going to use it a lot so I went to Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn and started testing.
Babyletto Kiwi Cream Nursery Power Glider Recliner Chair is considered to be one of the best ones out there at the moment so I sat in it for quite a bit. I have to say it does glide very smoothly but I didn’t like how my back felt and it seems like it could be more comfortable for someone taller (that was my impression). Loved the fabric and the look though!
Ever Slipcovered Striped Nursery Glider Chair by Leanne Ford is the most beautiful nursery chair I’ve seen so far. When I was looking through baby room furniture I wanted to get everything from Leanne Ford’s collab with Crate and Barrel. I found it to be more comfortable to sit in than the Babyletto Kiwi but less smooth + you need to purchase an ottoman separately as it is just a glider, not a recliner.
Harbour Natural Flange Nursery Swivel Glider Chair seemed similar to the one by Leanne Ford’s glider minus the slipcover.
I also tried out Paxton Swivel glider and recliner at Pottery barn and was really impressed, imho it’s the most comfy chair of all I’ve tried! It’s also the most expensive of the lot so I am still on the fence.
I am seriously considering Storkraft timeless recliner + glider (it’s available at a great price at Wayfair right now, Wayfair always has very good early cyber week deals) & Chita power recliner (great reviews on Amazon and it looks good too!).

A perfectly pretty pair of boots for narrow feet: Loeffler Randall Raquel boots.
I tried on the pair in suede (the color is called: bracco, it’s like a camel 🐪 brown).
Loved the shape and the comfort (tread tray lug sole is perfect for lots of walking!) unfortunately for me they are a bit too narrow. True to size!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKWatchNow

I keep shopping for pointed toe ankle boots ☺️
I just received Aeyde Hester cowboy boots that I got from Farfetch on sale and I LOVE them! They’re low key western style, easy to pull on and off, super comfy, the heel is there but it’s not too much. I also linked a few more pairs that I found along the way that were also pretty great: the top 3 would be Allsaints Fox Chelsea boots, Vagabond Kelsey Chelsea boots and Golden Goose Debbie pointed toe Chelsea boots.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert #LTKVideo

Skip the cyber week rush and enjoy the sale at 24S: this season designer items with 25%-30% off including Isabel Marant, Marant Etoile, Max Mara, Chloe, Zadig & Voltaire, Wandler and Jerome Dreyfuss.
I already got my package 📦 with Isabel Marant Étoile Rebecca cargo pants and I couldn’t be happier with them: I found a way to wear them on my 29th week of pregnancy, can’t wait to style them post partum!
If they’re sold out in your size on 24S I also linked them from Farfetch and Cettire!

#LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

Did you see these soles?
These are from Golden Goose Debbie ankle boots:
- handmade in Italy 🇮🇹
- leather soles (absolutely gorgeous looking but will need replacement if you walk on anything but hardwood and marble)
- exceptional quality and materials
- super comfy and TTS + comparatively easy to take on and off your foot
The ones that are exclusively made for Nordstrom are made in washed out black with a deep brown undertone + are hand numbered, there’s only 290 made.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush

Of all the pointed toe ankle boots I have tried on Vagabond Kelsey boots have the most durable soles, they’re super comfy and run TTS.
Great value for money, timeless, low key western elements, super easy to style.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo #LTKShoeCrush

Trying on Allsaints Fox Chelsea boots: TTS, but made for narrow feet so go half a size up if you have wider feet or if you’re planning to wear these with thick socks. Soles: you’ll need to bring them to the cobbler at some point. Insoles: super soft! Walking on clouds. Easy to pull on but a little hard to pull off of your feet. Love the soft light grey leather on the inside of the shoe.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKVideo

My favorite western style and cowboy boots that I have ever purchased / or I have in my closet right now:

- Aeyde Albi & Ariel boots
- Vince Camuto western style boots (older model, similar styles linked + my own boots are available on Poshmark 🫶
New cowboy boots for this season that I’d definitely consider and are on my wishlist:
- Isabel Marant Dahope boots
- We The Free Montage tall boots
- free People Allistar pointed boots
- Frye Billy short western boot

I love jewelry that I can wear every day (so it feels comfortable and I don’t have to think about it) and things that will last, won’t tarnish, that can be fixed and polished. I love my Mejuri Patra ring but I feel like there should be another band right there for extra oomph!
I recently found Chanel coco crush ring on the real real (my size too!) and when it arrived I was very excited but it just didn’t work got me! It has that hollowness on the inside that creates a ledge that makes daily wearing very uncomfortable 😣 It’s so beautiful, I love the quilted motif but sadly it will go back! Love my Mejuri Patra though - if you’re looking for a special gift 🎁 for someone look no further! It also comes in a wider version (in gold vermeil) if you want to try out the style first before investing into a solid gold piece.
I also linked Chanel Coco crush from the official website and The Real Real!

Polo Ralph Lauren bellport tote in suede is the largest and also the lightest tote in its class you can get right now: if you’ve been eying Louis Vuitton Neverfull or even The Row Margaux you should definitely take a look at this gorgeous bag that nobody’s talking about (yet)?
I love it but I still haven’t decided if I am going to keep it or not: I do have plenty of totes but then again can you have too many?
Love the quality of the bag, the richness of the suede, love how much you can fit into it and the low key branding.

J. Crew iconic Barn jacket vs Everlane The Barn jacket: similar in style, price, design and quality. If you’re still looking for work jackets, chore coats and utility style outwear (whichever term you prefer)🧥 I have quite a few linked here for every taste and budget!

We got our Frontgate Bryndle root fire pit yesterday and it adds an unbelievably cozy feeling to our backyard patio! Right after it stopped raining we turned on the fire pit and just sat there wrapped in blankets and thoughts 💭
Now, about the fire pit: it’s easy to put together (just connect the gas hose to the gas source, we just have a tank so we also got the tank cover), it’s quite light for its size, you can put your feet up (if you have an Adirondack chair or something like that), it can be used to put your drinks and small plates (just lower the flames a bit). I like the rocks that it comes with, they look very natural and organic, just the right color and shape to work with this design. I should also mention that ours came with a scratch on the side, the good news is it also comes comes with a touch up kit.
Both the fire pit and the tank cover (that can also be used as an outside side table) come with weatherproof covers.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo

I keep coming back to Everlane The barn jacket in cornstalk and I can’t be surprised it sells out so often.
It’s lightweight, soft, very packable, comfy and roomy. For a trendy oversized look go one or 2 sizes up.
It’s also very well made and is priced just right + I love how Everlane sources their materials and labor. There’re many other similar options out there of course now that utility jackets are so popular so I linked a few more styles by H&M, Cos, Old Navy, LL Bean and J. Crew.
Did you get yourself a barn jacket yet?

This oversized leather jacket by Sandro has my heart.
Clem distressed lambskin leather jacket is ultra soft, comfortable, stylishly oversized and has that off duty model look that we’re all loving. It most certainly isn’t cheap but so much more affordable than the luxury designer brands without sacrificing on the quality.
I love that it’s distressed because lambskin is so easy to scratch (hence all of that softness) and it also gives that worn in feeling that I personally adore. It’s light considering how much leather was used for it, the pockets are super practical and I also don’t think the photos online just don’t give it any justice.
Shall we get it?

My favorite long sleeve tops for Fall Winter are my merino wool base layers. Talking in great detail about why I love them so much, in particular this one by Icebreaker.

Trying on Cos leather riding boots for the first time.
This video is from 2 years ago so I apologize about the hectic style and quality! I was shopping for riding boots then and I always look for a new pair every Fall ☺️🤗
Since then I tried on so many pairs (starting with $200 riding boots by Lauren by Ralph Lauren) and tried on various designer options.
Honestly, these are great: the leather is soft and supple. They run large so size down or go with thick boot socks. They’re not actually made for riding (only riding a car 🚗🤪) but they’re still quite durable and they look expensive, chic and flatter your legs. They’re available in black and chocolate brown this season. Just get’em.

About a year ago I started looking for a pair of leather waterproof boots that also looked stylish. It’s usually hard to find a good mix of these things and nearly impossible to get that at an affordable price.
I was lucky enough to find Penelope Chilvers inclement boots on sale in summer and I am so glad I decided to grab them! I wore them here on the Oregon coast for the first time and I couldn’t be happier: they’re very cushy, comfortable and since I got the extra wide calf I can wear them with anything- skirts, leggings or wide leg jeans. I am not surprised Kate Middleton loves these boots so much (she’s usually seen wearing the model with the long tassel and I got the pull on boots just because I don’t love zippers), they’re worth every penny. You can wear them to work with a simple jeans, shirts and jacket outfit or a cute skirt that will add an element of boho chic style. Because of their weatherproof qualities (look for the word “inclement “ when shopping at Penelope Chilvers if you want the waterproof version)you can walk the dogs, wear them in the rain or snow, go horse riding or even gardening (years later after you’re quite done with them aesthetically).
It’s quite hard to find a collar style in comparable quality on a lower budget but I would definitely look at Ariat, Söfft & Timberland this season (all the similar styles are linked in the post).
Wearing my Penelope Chilvers boots with Lacoste tennis skirt & Zadig & Voltaire utility jacket (similar style by Free People).

$Trying on Madewell x Alpha Industries Waxed Cotton Car Coat in size medium (I am on my second trimester of pregnancy rn and if I hadn’t been I would’ve probably tried on small). It’s meant to be worn slightly lose so I’d say it runs TTS but definitely size down if you prefer a snug fit. Great fabric quality, feels comparable to Barbour waxed jackets (will protect you from light rain or drizzle for sure but not a downpour) and I LOVE the design (definitely getting strong Isabel Marant Celie jacket vibes at a fraction of a price). Not too heavy but not a wind breaker! Lined with plenty of room for layering. Super easy to style. Wearing it here with Polo Ralph Lauren chino cap in relay blue, Eileen Fisher jeans and Gucci Jordaan loafers. #LTKxMadewell #LTKStyleTip #LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal$

I’ve finally tried LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL Comète and… you it goes straight onto my Christmas wishlist! If you love: Chanel Eau Premiere, Chanel 19, Chanel Pausa, Infusion D'Iris By Prada, Guerlain Meteorite (The scent of the powder) you should definitely try this one!

We The Free Good Luck Barrel Overalls in ultra light beam: perfect casual denim piece for Fall and definitely a must for moms-to-be.

#LTKBump #LTKSeasonal #LTKVideo

Comfortable, pretty & Timeless.
Massimo Dutti leather penny loafers in chocolate brown color are a wonderful pair of work shoes: do I keep them or should I look further?

#LTKVideo #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFallSale

Jewelry trend of this Fall: statement bracelets.
My favorite finds:
- Cos hinged bracelet
- Tiffany bone cuff (preowned at a the Real Real)

Trying on J. Crew Limited-edition 1983 heritage Barn Jacket (from the men’s section) and falling in love with it 🥰 here’s what I loved:
- it runs a little small so, ladies, you don’t need to size down a lot (I am wearing size XS here because they didn’t have small or medium and for the reference I am also pregnant)
- it’s actually very warm and comfy (the lining is soft and I love the color)
- it’s machine washable
Here’s a few more beautiful barn jackets in the same style that I love for Fall transitional outfits:
1. Cos Leather collared field jacket
2. Oversized canvas jacket by H&M (sold out online rn but keep an eye for restocks)
3. Everlane The Barn Jacket
4. We The Free that canvas jackett

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFallSale #LTKVideo

5 t-shirts for the price of one? If you just need the one get Cos clean cut t-shirt - of all the tees out there this one is perfect at balancing price/quality.
Loving the budget option too: it’s not perfect but for the price it’s great, especially if you need a few!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKVideo

This corduroy overalls by Free people is sooooo cute! Perfect day to day piece for Fall and I’d normally go with barrel leg cords or jeans but because I’m pregnant I was looking for an alternative option ☺️ Watch until the end for a styling tip of a corduroy jumpsuit!
(Styling it with Cos cashmere sweater in red, Coach empire carryall bag and Golden Goose ball star sneakers).

#LTKVideo #LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

When you need several basic t-shirts without breaking the bank: this t-shirt by Hanes (it comes as a short sleeve and a long sleeve option) starts at $7 and it’s so good! More details in the video!

Let’s try on and review CHUNKY CASHMERE-BLEND CARDIGAN by Cos.
What do you guys think? Shall we keep it?
Linking a few similar styles (aka oversized cashmere cardigans) by Jenni Kayne, Lou Lou Studios, Aritzia (on sale right now), Banana republic and J.Crew.

Cos funnel neck 100% undyed cashmere sweater: I’ve been looking at it for a couple of years now as it is part of Cos permanent collection and it’s such a beautiful and quiet piece, nobody is ever screaming about it, you know? Finally got it last week and fell in love with it. For me personally it’s a perfect maternity sweater for this winter as I will enter my third trimester. Later on - a great quiet luxury knit 🧶 that will go with everything! Definitely size down if you like a more fitted look. I also linked a few beautiful sweaters in neutral tones in cashmere, merino wool and alpaca blends by & Other Stories, Lily Silk, Woolrich & Reiss.

If you don’t know this yet I am a huge fan of Madewell essential bucket tote: I have it in taupe (tawny khaki), warm cinnamon suede and now in chocolate brown (dark carob). Detailed review, my thoughts and feelings in the video 🫶☺️🤫
