I Bought the Viral Whistles Clean Bonded Leather Jacket. Was It Worth It?

I Bought the Viral Whistles Clean Bonded Leather Jacket. Was It Worth It?

You know you’re probably onto a keeper when you’ve been coveting an item for 12 months or more. Case in point, the Whistles Clean Bonded Leather Jacket. I’ve been burned in the past with expensive, splurge-worthy items that have lived rent-free in my mind for far too long, so there’s some vindication in knowing that your style senses were onto something.  I got lucky with this buy, managing to nab it during a flash sale (the Carted app is great for tracking when items do get discounted FYI). And after contemplating it for more than a year, umm-ing and ahh-ing…

Ten Minimal But Chic Outfits I’ve Worn This Spring

Ten Minimal But Chic Outfits I’ve Worn This Spring

Spring weather has been all over the place. I jumped the gun a little on switching over my seasonal wardrobe, so have been dipping back into my A/W wardrobe almost every other day to compensate.

At this point, I’ve tried my fair share of products from the brand, all of which I access using mail forwarding as Quince presently only ships within the US (I use Planet Express, if you’re curious). And I thought we…

Style Rule to Live By: Don’t settle if it’s not *quite* right

Style Rule to Live By: Don’t settle if it’s not *quite* right

I recently spent months coveting a pair of shoes, only to finally bite the bullet and find that they were too narrow for me. The shoes were expensive, so naturally I had been keeping an eagle eye out for a flash sale or discount (I use Carted to track price drops BTW – game changing!). Being from Khaite, the brand is largely inaccessible here in Australia, so often you’re relying on reviews and imagery you’ve found online to fill in the whole picture. Trying these beautiful Khaite sandals on in my home, I immediately found myself coming up with justifications…
