What I Bought and Sold in May
What I Bought
After seeing this Sezane puffy sleeve embroidered top on Erica (insta: ahistoryofarchitecture), I decided to finally try out Sezane. I’ve thought about trying out their stuff before but nothing quite compelled me like this frilly blouse lol. I absolutely love it (I’ve been wearing it for the #may30x30 challenge over on Insta).
I technically bought this in April but I forgot to add it to my list so I’ll add it here: this gorgeous Heinui dress. This purchase was also instigated from Erica lol. I had never heard of Heinui before, but it’s a small slow fashion brand run by a French woman in Barcelona. All her dresses are made to order using custom printed fabrics. I just got this dress and guys, it’s goooorgeous! It’s like Elizabeth Suzann quality but with unique styling and color!
Several plants and planters from Leafy, a Bay Area plant company. And two more plants form California Tropicals (pictured above after repotting) because I’m now an impulse plant shopper (which isn’t a bad thing since it definitely does less damage than being an impulse purse shopper lol).
A reader here talked about Loq shoes after reading my St. Agni post. I immediately went down a Loq rabit hole (which consisted of checking out their website, looking for reviews, and then scoping out eBay and the RealReal). I ended up purchasing these Carmen mules from the website since it was on super sale. I say for the mules you can go with your true size (in this case it’s a 38 for me), though I think in general their sizing runs a tad small. I would probably go for a 39 in most other styles. {And while searching for the link above, I saw them on super sale here at Nordstrom Rack if you’re interested.}
And speaking of the RealReal, when I went to scope them out I reignited my TRR addiction (plus I also had about $200 in left over credit burning a hole in my pocket lol). I purchased a couple things from them including another Ulla Johnson top ($58 for 100% silk!), and things from new-to-me brands Horses Atelier and Cecilie Copenhagen.
I’ve been wanting a nap dress for awhile (not really to nap in, but just one of those loose and easy dresses you could nap in). Anyway it was love at first site with this dress from Ichi Antiquities (another brand I’ve heard a lot about but had yet to try). I’m hoping I won’t be disappointed!
What I Was Gifted
So technically this was gifted by my husband and I’m not sure it would fall under this category, but since I didn’t purchase it it’s a gift right? Anyway as a Mother’s Day gift, he purchased a pink anthurium and two plant pots from Shop Pigment (as requested by me lol). As for gifts from brands this month: nada.
What I’m Selling/Sold
Sorry my blog closet sale is a little slow going. Since all of that is going to charity, I’m selling my more high ticket items to replenish my blog spending account over at my Instagram account (they’re saved under the “Closet Sale” highlights).
