This might just be the BEST Loewe Puzzle Bag Dupe

Could this just be the *best* affordable alternative to the Loewe Puzzle Bag? I’ve had this affordable alternative from Quince on solid rotation for close to three months now, and I have some thoughts… Given the Loewe Puzzle Bag was permanent fixture on my wardrobe wishlist for over 6 years, I was curious to see how this would compare… And spoiler alert, I think this might be one of my best buys of 2024. Let’s get into it… Quince Italian Leather Patchwork Crossbody Review Price: ~$230 AUD or $159.90 USDAvailable in two colours: cognac and blackCountry of manufacture: Dongguan, China in a…

New In: Tibi Crispy Nylon Winslow Pant

My Tibi seasonal wish lists tend to be quite long. Longer still, if I’ve had time to tune into any Style Classes. Usually, I’ll hold out for end of season; taking a risk on whether the item will still be in stock, and on the fit and feel of the item given it’s final sale. But every now and then I’ll spring for something full price. Usually preceded by a waiting period of 30 days (or as close to it as I can manage), and asking myself the question, would I be truly disappointed if it got to sale and…

The Sezane Clyde Trench is *worth* the hype

Probably one of the most major workhorses in my cold weather wardrobe is a trench coat. For me, it toes that line nicely of feeling polished enough to lift a denim look, but still relaxed enough in the styling for a more casual lifestyle. My most worn of the past few years has been this one from Kindersalmon, but I decided to spring for the Sezane Clyde Trench back in September as an alternate option. At the time that I placed my order, it was only available in cotton in a handful of easy neutrals. The Sezane Clyde Trench has…
