Did Strawberry Picking: For the first time in California we went strawberry picking! It was a Mother’s Day activity and we had a blast. We went to Creswell Family Farms, which had a ton of ripe strawberries, and we picked about 6 pounds! I thought that would last us weeks but it turns out we ate

As I mentioned back in my March 2024 Recap , I received a vintage Cartier Trinity ring from my family as a birthday present. It has since replaced my engagement ring and wedding ring stack, and is the one ring I wear at all times. And since I love this ring so much I thought I would do a quick revi

Thank you to all of you guys who have requested this review and waited patiently for it! Unfortunately even though I love this bag I haven’t used it very much so I didn’t think I could give it a fair review. But I’m not sure when I’d be consistently using this bag and the fact that I haven’t really

As I mentioned in June, this bag purchase was the one that broke the camel’s back so to speak and led me to do a No Buy July challenge. But I have to say I’m glad I bought the Polene Numero Onze bag and that no buy challenge was worth it. Surprisingly this little number has quickly become a favori

I’m very lucky that my mother’s side of the family lives in Japan. So growing up I went there almost every summer and winter break. If you were to ask me about my Japanese speaking skills, I can speak at an elementary level and I understand way better than I speak. I usually default to English first

I accidentally bought a fake The Row Park Tote from my go-to eBay seller (who didn’t do me wrong for five straight bag purchases). I actually bought this one for a friend so I was quite bummed when I got it. I knew as soon as I felt it that this was a fake. The leather was rubbery and the handle was

There’s a series that Japanese YouTubers often do called Things I’m Glad I Bought so I thought it’d be fun to do the same here. It usually covers anything and everything they’ve purchased in the year or half year.

In late July I ordered two Loewe Puzzle bags from Fashionphile , one in the mini size and one in the small . after watching some Youtube videos from Maggy , a fellow handbag enthusiast, rave about it. Plus the Puzzle has been around for so long it’s starting to become a classic. And the news o

Hi guys so this is a semi-review of my three different Cartier watches, as requested by a reader. To be honest, I love the look of watches but I no longer wear a watch at all times, since nowadays I usually use my phone to tell time. But ever since I went to a De Young Museum exh

So if you guys have been following along on my Insta-stories , you saw a quick unboxing of this bag and a poll asking whether or not it was a keeper (by the way thank you to everyone who takes the second to answer the poll because I really value your opinions! I was surprised at how many

So I’ve been collecting Celine (Phoebe Philo era-aka Old Celine) bags for quite awhile now. So I’m not sure why I haven’t put together something like this sooner. Well maybe it’s because I don’t want to proclaim myself the authority (and I’m not). But these are just some tips I want to put out there

I impulsively purchased these Madewell Balloon Jeans because I was just so thrilled to be trying on clothes again in the store after over a year of not being able to. And I forgot how angled mirrors in fitting rooms can be deceptive because in the store, these jeans looked awesome.

2018 was a crazy year for me: We moved from an Airstream to a larger trailer to a house to an apartment, we sold our business, we got pregnant, and then I went in and out of the hospital a couple times and had several pregnancy scares. So that might also explain my temporary insanity when I impulse
