Quince Washable Silk Cami | $39.90

Materials: 90% Mulberry Silk Double Georgette / 10 % Spandex
Size: XS

Quince's washable silk camis were part of my first order from the brand. A camisole always seems to be such an essential in any wardrobe... a basic staple piece that everyone needs in their closet. Hence I snagged one in ivory and one in black.
My review of Quince's Washable Silk Cami:

The Quince camisoles are of nice quality and I appreciated that the ivory option is double layered so it's not so sheer. It's hard to find a light colored silk that isn't see-through.

Another nice feature of the cami from Quince is that the straps are adjustable. The sliders are made of metal so they should last well over time. Adjustable straps really appeal to me as a petite person who prefers a modest neckline. 

The silk cami has a really nice drape so it looks classic worn on it's own or as a layering piece. 

What could be better? I wish the scoop of these camis was not so profound. In retrospect, I can see on the models that the scoop is pretty.. scoop-y? I was just hoping with the straps shortened that it would be a little bit higher up and closer fitting on me. For the most part, I don't find these camis to be helpful for wearing as a modesty piece under a V neck or wrap style dress/top because often where the plunge neckline falls on me is about the same spot the cami starts, so ... yeah.  Remember every body is different. Check the customer photos to see if someone's body type is similarl to yours to get a better idea of fit!
What I learned: This purchase helped me realize that I generally only wear a cami as a layering piece for modesty with a v neck or a wrap style top or dress. I'm not someone who really wears spaghetti straps even in the summer. I prefer a strap that is thick enough for a 'normal' bra strap to be covered because I rarely want to be bothered with a strapless bra. 

However, in the event that one did want to wear this cami alone as it does have a lovely drape, I would recommend these or these over bra straps hanging out or an uncomfortable strapless bra. 

Overall I think if you are a cami person you will love quince's silk camis. Right now you can get the quince washable silk cami in 6 colors.

As for me, I thought I would be reaching for these camis more often than I do. They are still a piece I will keep in my wardrobe because there is a time and place for them in my personal style!

Quince Washable Stretch Silk Blouse | photo: onequince.com

Quince Washable Silk Stretch Blouse | $59.90

Materials: 90% Mulberry Silk Double Georgette / 10 % Spandex
​Size: XS
The Quince Washable Silk Stretch Blouse is a piece I wear regularly. It is a shiny silk, unlike my everlane clean silk button up (review here) I think overall my personal preference is the more matte silk, but I still get a lot of wear out of this piece from Quince clothing. 
How I wear it? Most often I wear the Quince silk button up shirt with skirts, under a dress, or under a sweater or other long-sleeved top. I rarely wear it completely on it's own as it's a little bit sheer, so I prefer to use it is a layering piece. There's something about a collar peeking out that makes me feel so confident and put together! 
Are Quince's silk blouses worth it? I think so! I would consider adding another color (maybe magenta?) as there are 6 color options currently! 

As always check out the photos on the customer review photos to envision how it may fit on your body! 

And consider protecting your silk investment with Numi Sweatproof Undershirts!! 
Pro tip: Be careful what you wash with this top. This isn't specific to this silk blouse, but in general. One day I washed all my washable silks together without even thinking of the color. When I went to hang them to dry I realized that my ivory silk blouse is now more of a cool white with the slightest touch of blue. :-( If you didn't know how it looked originally, you may not notice it. But since I know...

Quince Australian Merino Wool Cardigan | photo: onequince.com

Quince Australian Merino Wool Open Cardigan Sweater | $39.90

Materials: 100% extra fine Australian merino wool; 19.5 micron yarn
​Size: XS
I love my Quince Australian Merino Wool Cardigan. I tend to run cold but also have a hard time regulating temperature so layers are my best friend. Easy layers. Layers I can take on and off near constantly. lol. For that reason I really like this merino wool cardigan. It's my first merino wool piece and when it arrived I remember my first thought was "this is so soft and feels luxurious!" Since I have worn it 3-5 times a week for the past year I  can confirm that it is a great piece that holds up well. It's meant to be hand washed or dry cleaned, but I did throw it in the washer many times with no issue. YMMV. Just be sure not to put it in the dryer or it may shrink a bit and the feel may change a bit.... Not speaking from experience at all.. ;) 

I ordered this merino wool cardigan from quince when it first launched and it only came in Navy. Now you can grab it in other core colors like black, gray, and camel!

Quince Cotton Twill Girlfriend Chinos | photo: onequince.com

Quince Stretch Cotton Twill Girlfriend Chino Pants | $39.90

Material: 97% cotton / 3% elastane
When it comes to pants I currently wear these jeans or comfy-cute dressy sweatpants and dressy leggings from this brand. I thought it could be helpful to add another neutral pant so I opted to give Quince girlfriend chino pants a try in this olive green color. 
These are not my jam. I keep trying to wear them to see if my opinion changes, but I just don't feel comfortable in them. I don't like the way they fit my body. I don't like the style stripe down the side. (The original product image did not show the stripe and after ordering they added more photos. Although it was probably in the text description and I didn't notice)

As an alternative I may try the Prana Halle pants sometime. They would be great to have on hand for hikes and other outdoorsy activities I think!

Cotton.

Tradlands Shelter Cardigan - Birch XXS - $227 (Sept 2021)

For me, Tradlands Shelter Cardigan is a no brainer for when I need to throw on an extra layer and just feel straight up cozy. The fit is different than my usual style preferences because it's slightly oversized. This is what makes it such a cozy sweater. It has a nice amount of weight and a beautiful knit. Easy to toss over winter layers or a tank top on a cooler summer night. Keep it at the office to combat those drafts. Love it.

The Cotton Crew Neck Sweater from Everlane is a basic kind of sweater that you can wear casually or dress it up. I regularly wear it over one of my Tradlands button ups and I also love it underneath my Everlane Picnic Dress.

Cashmere. 

Mott & Bow Willow Oversized Cashmere V Neck Sweater - Oxblood XXS - $149 (Sept 2021)

Mott & Bow's oversized cashmere  v neck sweater in oxblood is a great addition to my sweater collection.  The color is one of my personal power colors, meaning it's a color I always feel great and confident wearing. Worn alone with jeans or a skirt, it's a quick and easy outfit. The slightly oversized fit also allows for using this as a layering piece in the warmer months. I love a button up collar peeking out from under a v neck sweater.

Everlane The Cashmere Crew Sweater - Red XS - sale $60 (Sept 2019)

I invested in some cashmere sweaters because I wanted more natural fibers in my wardrobe. I realized a huge contributing factor to difficulty regulating my temperature in the colder months was some of the synthetic fabrics that nearly all my sweaters were made of. Polyester, Acrylic, etc... These are no good for me, personally. I snagged a sale on a popular cashmere crew from Everlane. The fit of the XS is preferred and I do enjoy wearing this with jeans and patterned skirts that have red in them, as well as with solids to add a pop of color in the cold months.

Like the previous sweater, I snagged the mustard yellow cashmere sweater from everlane on sale and the only size was Small. I still wear this sweater regularly, although I definitely refer the XS fit on this sweater. I love the cheery yellow color and it pairs well with other colors I reach for regularly - navy, forest green, maroon, black.

Cotton Cashmere Blend.

Mott & Bow Emma Light Ribbed Cotton Cashmere Crew - Black XS - $99 (Sept 2021)

This lightweight cotton cashmere sweater is like a dream. A high crew neckline and fitted silhouette make for a really chic look with no effort at all. It's a wonderful weight for transitional seasons or as a base layer in colder months.

Again, an excellent transitional sweater that is not too heavy and almost like a long sleeve fitted shirt, but better and cozier. The ribbed fabric blend gives it a bit of stretch making it nice to wear over a button down as well!

Wool.

Quince Australian Merino Wool Open Cardigan Sweater - Navy XS - $39.90 (Feb 2021)

An easy cardigan with pockets to toss on for a little extra warmth but without being bulky. The Quince Merino Wool Cardigan is a cardigan without buttons, it has roomy pockets, and is super soft. Be careful when washing/drying because I accidentally popped mine in the dryer on auto once and I think it did shrink a bit, although not to an unwearable point.

Encircled The Dressy Sweatshirt - Navy XS - $154  (Nov 2018)

The first "better" sweater I invested in, from Encircled clothing - The Dressy Sweatshirt. This sweatshirt is made from a blend including rayon from bamboo and merino wool. They now have another wool free sweater blend available in this design. I find the wide neckline is too wide for  my frame and petite style preferences. I still like to wear it as a quick throw on layer, especially when traveling.

Mott & Bow Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, $149
I love a good turtleneck in the wintertime and my black one is probably on it's last season. Actually, I said that last season, but I may be able to squeeze one more out of it. We'll see! It is not my ideal blend of fabric, so when I replace it I will definitely be factoring fabric in like this cashmere turtleneck from Mott & Bow.

Tradlands Jude Pullover Sweater, $217

February 2021 Purchases: Initial Impressions (Featuring Brooklinen, Wardani, Apple, Air Quality Testers)

3/30/2021

0 Comments

 
Making your living space more comfortable, fun, and safe is always a good idea. Here are some things I tried recently!

Tacocat Spelled Backwards Game from Exploding Kittens

Picture
The makers of Exploding Kittens just released a new game called Tacocat Spelled Backwards. If you love an easy, fun game and palindromes (when a word or phrase is the same backwards and forewards) you’ll have a lot of fun with Tacocat Spelled Backwards. It's a very quick to learn and quick to play game to enjoy with someone you're sheltering in place with. Plus It’s only $15!

Every game I've tried from the makers ofExploding Kittens has been a blast.

Brooklinen Tufted Bath Rug, Silk Eye Mask, Classic Pillow Cases, and Washcloth Assortment

I made my second Brooklinen purchase after the waffle towels (here and here).
​
Initial impressions:

Washcloths

Of the washcloth series, I think the best all around choice is the Classic/MidPlush. I also tried the waffle, ultralight, mid plush, super plush... basically I tried one of each wash cloth type brooklinen currently offers. You can read the full wash cloth comparison here and it may help you decide which full towel set is best for you!
​
Brooklinen Silk Eyemask
I also snagged a silk eyemask with some rewards points - it is sooo soft. The only bummer is that it is a little loose on my head. I wish it was a little more fitted for me. Sidenote: The box is worth geeking out over! Its suchhhh a nice box and has a magnetic closure. If you get it, you get it.

Brooklinen Tufted Bath Rug
Finally I ordered the Brooklinen tufted bath rug to replace a (literally) 10-year old bath rug from ikea. This rug is made in Portugal and it’s not really a soft, cushiony type of rug, but it is really nice quality. I can see why it has the price it does. The one thing I dislike about it is how long it takes to dry.

At this point I have interacted with Brooklinen Customer service three times, and I have to say they are fantastic. They are very responsive about any issues you may have. I have chatted with them and gone via email. I had a question about points crediting after leaving a review and  I had feedback about an item that was damaged on arrival. They were awesome. But one of my favorite things was after your interaction they sent you a survey and you could give feedback on the person who helped you including if you thought they deserved a coffee, lunch, or Brooklinen swag from the company! I thought this was too cool!!

Wardani Lambskin Leather Headband

Wardani Lambskin Leather Headband Made in Brooklyn NY
Wardani Lambskin Leather Headband Made in Brooklyn NY
​An easy everyday headband is on my capsule wardrobe ISO list. I decided to try the Wardani lambskin leather headband made in Brooklyn ny. I ordered from etsy here. First impressions: This headband is very lightweight and beautifully made. It’s not too tight on my head at all and feels comfortable. One regret I’m having is I ordered it in black for versatility, but now I wish I would have gone for the beautiful red leather or gold. For quality, I expect this headband to last as long as I want it to be in my collection.  

Air Pods Pro Replacement

Not really a purchase, since it didn’t cost anything but just to say if you’re having trouble with your AirPods Pro audio (if older than Oct 2020), reach out to apple support in case it’s an issue covered under their quality program. They’ll send you a replacement, put a hold on your credit card until you send back the originals, and then refund your card. (Unless you’re trying to scam them. Don’t do that.) So this is more of a PSA - don’t procrastinate, just hop on the chat with them and let them know what’s going on so they can trouble shoot or replace if needed.

Air Quality Testers

Tested a couple of air quality monitors including this EG indoor air quality monitor. Didn’t love this one and actually returned it and bought the Awair Element Indoor Air Quality monitor. The design is sleek and modern and it integrates with an app. You can track your air quality over time and get alerts with any concerning changes. It’s comforting to know the air quality in your home is safe or to be alerted to make adjustments to improve it. Sometimes that just means opening a window or turning on a fan to get some circulation. The Awair Element Indoor Air Quality monitor is pretty sensitive. If you’re cooking without the fan on, it will sense it in the other end of the house before you can even smell food cooking back there. This is really a great investment for most people spending more time at home and working from home because improving your air quality will doubtless improve your mood, productivity, and overall health!

Quince

After trying quince towels (review here) I decided to fill some wardrobe gaps with their silk camis and button up. I later ordered a pair of sweatpants for the Mr. and their Extra Fine Australian Merino Cardigan. Overall really pleased with the items. They do seem to be coming up with new items very fast and their prices are pretty low compared to other brands, so make out of that what you will. I still think buying one cardigan and having it for years from a brand like quince is a better choice than buying 5 cheap, low quality cardigans that barely make it through a season. Progress over perfection! If you want to check out quince here’s $10 off.

AceTaken Ring Light & Phone Suspension Arm Stand

With all the videoconferencing we’re all doing these days not to mention other hobbies, I decided to finally get a ring light and overhead phone mount.This one was about $40 on amazon and so far I’m pleased. I like that it isn’t a chip clip style grip at the end of the arms, but it is actually a clamp, so it’s highly adjustable to fit on the ends of your desk, table, counter, wherever. I’m using an IPhone 10 Xs Max and I haven’t had any problems with it holding the phone securely.

The quality is great, this is a piece that is made to last. A new piece is something you will save up for, but if cared for, should last for years based on this purchase at least.

How To Enjoy Staying Home More During The Pandemic

2/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Shopping habits for most of us changed drastically this past year. Normally saving every penny for an adventure out of town, this year had a lot of us spending our time and paychecks at home. Here’s how I made home a little more homey in 2020. 

1. Move Furniture Around

Picture
This didn’t require any purchasing, but it was one of the first things I did during the initial lockdown. Moving furniture around can make you feel like you’re in a totally different space. And if you don’t like it? Easy. Just move it back. Also doubles as a great workout. lol

2. Buy New Pillow Covers

Changing pillows on your couch can change the vibe of the room. But before you go out and buy a whole new pillow, maybe you just need a new cover for your pillow? I tried a few boho macrame pillow covers, tons of options on Amazon but for something more special and handmade definitely check etsy.  Of course you can find pillow covers to match whatever your style is!

6. Refresh Your Sheets & Towels

Picture
This is something I sometimes procrastinate on. You don't have to wait until your sheets and towels are threadbare and unarguably gross before replacing them. I recently got some eucalyptus sheets from sheets & giggles and some linen sheets as well. I also replaced our bath towels and compared two brands. You can read about that here! Having fresh sheets and towels will make the mundane feel a little more luxurious!

At the start of 2021 I set out to replace my white cotton bath towels. Our previous towels have been used daily and washed weekly for several years. Even after they are washed, they just don’t feel like they used to. A little stiff, a lot less bright white. I’ve tried the vinegar tricks and whatnot suggested online, but finally my husband said ā€œI think they’re just old and need replaced!ā€ lol So that has been my mission.

I want something that is timeless, fresh, and made from natural fibers. One issue is that we have a small, poorly ventilated bathroom. In other words, anything too fluffy doesn’t dry completely before the next use. Bearing this in mind, I’ve decided to try waffle weave Turkish cotton towels. 
The idea is that the lightweight, waffle weave towels are both highly absorbent and fast drying which sounds up my street. I ordered from two different brands for the first time - Brooklinen and Quince - so I can do a side-by-side comparison of their waffle weave Turkish cotton waffle weave bath towels.

Brooklinen - All of their bundles included floor mats, but I didn’t like the color options (please add black!)

2 Waffle bath towels, 2 waffle hand towels, and 2 waffle wash clothes - $100 - $25 refer a friend discount = $75

Review Quince Organic Turkish Cotton Waffle Towels 

The Quince Organic Turkish Cotton Waffle Towels are slightly smaller than the Brooklinen Towels. The Quince Waffle Towels, I would say are a little more light and springy. The finishings are nice! Quite pleased!

Review Brooklinen Turkish Cotton Waffle Bath Towels

As indicated above, the Brooklinen waffle bath towels are slightly larger in dimension than the Quince waffle towels. The Brooklinen towels are also a bit more substantial. They are also excellent quality. I was surprised, though, to see a number of threads poking out of most of the towels. Upon initial inspection, they don't seem to be loose/ I don't anticipating them affecting the integrity and durability of the towels. Nevertheless, I was surprised to see this. I need to trim them! The Brooklinen towels are OEKO-TEX certified which is great. 
​
Tip:  I do recommend paying close attention to the care instructions. I accidentally dried them a little too warm (see my initial impressions here) and I think that caused puckering on the bottom edge as seen in the pics below.

Comparison Quince Waffle Towel vs Brooklinen Waffle Towel

The Brooklinen Trim is on the top/in the foreground in these two pictures and the Quince trim is in the background/ on the bottom. So you can compare the subtle design elements of the two.

The Brooklinen washcloth is on the right in the first photo and on top in the second photo. Can you tell it is more dense than the  Quince towel? It's not easy to capture in photos. 
Comparison Quince Waffle Towel vs Brooklinen Waffle Towel
Comparison Quince Waffle Towel vs Brooklinen Waffle Towel
Overall I am really happy with both sets so far, but it's early days at just around 2 weeks of use and 2 washes. I think my husband may prefer the Brooklinen set, and while I kind of think that one will last longer and may be of higher quality in a lot of ways (even despite the loose threads), I may actually prefer the Quince set as I enjoy the springiness and I feel that the less dense waffle wave makes them more soft which I enjoy. I look forward to seeing how they both hold up over time and if those preferences shift. Ultimately, I don't think you can go wrong with either set. Let me know if you try them!
