    Ugh I feel that way about the Vintner’s Daughter serum. Can anyone tell me it’s not worth the money so I stop lusting after it?

      Do it! My skin is so hydrated and looks so dewy/luminous after two months of use. I was able to snag an almost full bottle off of Poshmark at a discount. Worth keeping your eyes peeled on there and maybe eBay?

  2. CatHerine says:

    Thanks so much for sharing. We’re flattered!

  3. SC says:

    I don’t like the color (or the material) on the Boss suit, but the detailing is truly amazing. It would look absolutely smashing in a charcoal gray with a sleeker zip.

    That Hugo Boss suit is AMAZING. Obsessed. Obsessed enough to walk over the the City Center store right now to see it.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
