Everlane Reviews: The Curvy ’90s Cheeky Jean, Organic Cotton Tissue Tank, Gathered Drape Trench, and ReLeather Tennis Shoe

Alyssa wears blue denim, a cream tank, and white sneakers and sits on a wooden step

Breaking news: I recently found the very first pair of 100% cotton jeans that work for my curvy figure. Up until now, all of my jeans have had some sort of stretch (at least, from my late-middle school years until my thirties—I have no idea what kind of denim my parents purchased for me as …

Review: The Clara Shirt Dress from wool&

Alyssa wears a black long sleeve dress from wool& and is looking at her cat

I have a confession to make: I’ve been holding out on you. I received the Clara Shirt Dress from wool& two years ago and haven’t written about here yet. Well, I did, kind of. I wore it here, on my trip to Winston-Salem. But I haven’t given this dress the time and review it deserves, …

Why Black Skinny Jeans are Still My Go-To Denim for Travel, Featuring Mott & Bow

A white woman stands on the ledge of a fountain wearing a black top, black jeans, a grey sweater blazer, and black oxfords. In the background is the Charlotte skyline

Yes, yes, skinny jeans are no longer de rigueur, but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be banished from your wardrobe entirely (and let’s be real, does anyone truly follow every fleeting trend to the letter?). And despite the “throw out your skinny jeans” rhetoric on social media, clothing isn’t disposable—if you’re considering parting ways …

Choosing the Right Jewelry for Travel, Featuring GLDN

Alyssa stands in a beam of sunshine, wearing a navy silk short sleeve dress, and a pendant necklace with two mini hoops in her right ear. She is pulling her hair out of the way and smiling downward

When we pack for a trip, we largely consider the essentials: IDs, cards, and currency. Medication. Clothing. Shoes. Toiletries. But we often leave one category for last, if we even consider it at all: Jewelry. Just because something is small doesn’t mean it should be an afterthought. The jewelry we choose to pack and wear …

Is This the Best Boot for Travel? A Review of the Eva Everyday Chelsea Boot from Nisolo

Alyssa is standing on rocks wearing black pants, black boots. It's a close up shot of her calves and feet, and the Golden Gate Bridge is visible in the background.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for work—but one of the stipulations was that I could only bring what would fit in my personal item on the plane (the bag that fits under the seat in front of you). I’m no stranger to packing light and knew that I could pull …

Luxury Without the Labels – Chic Accessories from Italic

Alyssa is standing in front of a brick building. She is wearing a grey sweater with off-white pants, black sunglasses, a light blue belt bag, and black boots. She has her right hand in her hair and it is windy.

Product accessibility is great and all, but I wanted to dive in deeper today to talk about the quality of products available on the new Italic marketplace. This post was not sponsored but does contain gifted products …
