When I first got the The Row Margaux 15 I was in loooove, even though it wasn’t a practical bag for me (see my review of The Row Margaux 15 here). And I thought my problems would be solved with the Margaux 10. Well almost a year after I wrote my Margaux 15 review I got my hands on a relatively well priced Margaux 10. So did I love it as much as I thought I would?

For those who follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been a fan of this bag since the day I got it. I teased it, then did a Reel on it, and then posted about the Songmont price increase, but have yet to do a full review of it here. So I apologize for the delay but better late than never I guess?

I was considering adding this to my already lengthy Quince Fine Jewelry Review post, but I thought this could be it’s own ever-growing post since I’m really in love with Quince’s lab grown diamond jewelry.

On a recent trip to Oahu, I was able to get away for a couple of hours of luxury reconnaissance. I visited Loewe, Bottega, Celine, Coach, and Valextra, to try out some of their pieces as well as learn of any “Hawaii prices” (usually a bit lower than the mainland US pricing). I have a 2025 Hawaii Luxury Shopping guide here, where I’ve bolded my April updates.

I’m a huge fan of Cartier (see all my other Cartier reviews here), so I never really thought to try a ring in the store before purchasing it secondhand. I never met a Cartier piece I didn’t like. Well as they say, there’s a first for everything! And sadly this small Juste Un Clou ring with diamonds is the first Cartier item I don’t like.

It’s been awhile since a Polene bag excited me enough to click “Buy,” but when I saw the Mokki Mini I liked it right away. My last Polene bag was the Beri (Polene Beri review here), which I bought almost four years ago. So I thought it was time to try another Polene bag. So what did I think? Is it a keeper?

I don’t have that many jackets and blazers from Quince, especially considering their plethora of options these days. But here are all the jackets I’ve tried since starting to review Quince in 2019, and I have to say that most of them are pretty good.

If you’ve been following along here for a bit, you know I just bought this secondhand Loewe Lazo Tote in November of last year, but I’ve been wanting it since October of 2019 (having a blog to record every want and purchase comes in handy 😂). Well the price finally came down enough (sub $500) that I thought, why not? And wow I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been waiting for it for so long or because it really is a great bag, but I’ve been using it so much ever since I got it.
