Grana Review Silk Drop Shoulder Tee

Grana Review Silk Drop Shoulder Tee (2 of 3).jpg

First off, I just want to say please excuse these crappy photos of the crystal-clear lake behind me but of blurry me.  I just like the lake scene behind me so much (and am a lazy blogger and don't want to reshoot these outfit photos, lol).  As you can tell, this was taken back when I was still on my road trip. This probably doesn't look like the best outfit for lake-side glamping, but we were actually on our way to do some wine-tasting (and I threw on the Grana silk blazer later, which I reviewed here).

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Grana recently changed their silk so that they no longer do double silk (boo) so I'm not planning to review too many more new silk items.  But I ordered this along with the silk flat front pants to get an idea of their new silk selections.  And I have to say I don't hate this silk tee.  In fact, I think it's one of my favorite silk tees I've ever tried (and let me qualify this by saying I don't actually try out a whole lot of silk tees because really it's not my thing.  I prefer all my tees to be cotton).  What do you think?

I'm wearing a small here and I really like the fit.  It's loose but not oversized.  What I love most about this tee is that the thicker georgette satin is on the top half while their 16mm crepe de chine is on the lower half of the tee.  It's like color-blocking but instead it's really texture-blocking.  The two different textures keeps the tee interesting, while at the same time the thicker satin on top keeps you from seeing the outline of your bra (which happens to me quite often with regular crepe de chine silk tops).  And by keeping the crepe de chine on the bottom half of the tee, it drapes really well at the hips and you can easily tuck in the tee.  I also really love the sleeve length and the fact it hides my flabby chicken wings (triceps) well.

I wasn't expecting to like any more of Grana's silk items since they changed it up, but I really do love this tee.  For $65 it's a bit pricey but it's also 100% silk so that's understandable.  If you're interested, first time Grana customers can get 10% off their purchase with this link and you can find all my other Grana reviews here.

Grana Review Silk Jumpsuit

So let me start off this review by saying I'm not a silk jumpsuit kind of girl.  In fact I usually avoid jumpsuits and rompers in general because I really dislike having to strip all the way down to use the bathroom (talk about inconvenient).  However thanks to you guys, I have a small bank of Grana credit and so I decided to try some things outside of my comfort zone.  Also I'm a fan of Grana's silk (mostly because they always do a double layer of it), so I thought "why not?" And I'm so glad I tried it out because I love it!

Wearing this jumpsuit got me feeling all kinds of sassy:

Lol, I'm literally strutting here.  I just wish I was wearing heels with this but these neutral flats from Vera Wang (somewhat similar here) are not bad.  Also I love my small Celine Trotteur (similar here) with this jumpsuit since the thin bag strap goes with the straps that criss-cross the back.  The silk jumpsuit gave me a whole 70's disco vibe while I was wearing it.

I got this jumpsuit in a small and it fit perfectly.  There's a side zip that makes it easier to get on and off.  Each strap is also adjustable so that you can control how low the v-neck is in the front.  The waistband is elastic with a drawstring so you can tighten or loosen the waist how you like.  In general I found the proportions just right for my 5'4" frame.  As I said earlier, this is made from double layer of silk (their 14mm crepe de chine, which I've heard from a reader is easily hand washable).  I'm wearing both a strapless bra and a thong here to minimize the bumps and such from underclothing (this will definitely give you VPL if you're wearing normal underwear).  The bottoms of these pants feel like a slightly tighter version of their silk ankle pants, which I love (reviewed here).

I really love that one piece of silk clothing can make me look so polished and put together, so that I only have to think about my shoes and accessories (which is admittedly my favorite part of planning an outfit).  For $129 it's a bit on the pricey side, but for a whole outfit made from 100% silk I don't think it's all the bad.  Anyway if you're interested you can get it 10% off with my referral link (first time customers only) and you can find all my other Grana reviews here.

Grana Review Silk Kimono Blazer

Hi guys, so I've tried Grana's silk sleeveless blazer (reviewed here) in the past and found myself liking it (especially after using it for my Winter 10x10 challenge).  So when I saw that Grana came out with a new silk kimono blazer I was intrigued to try it out.  I ordered this in a size small since it looked like it was already quite an oversized fit (as kimono type garments tend to be).  But I found the small to be a bit tight around the shoulders, though everything else was large and oversized.  

{Wearing: Grana silk kimono blazer, Grana linen sleeveless shirt (reviewed here), Mott & Bow Jeans, Everlane modern loafer mules, vintage Chanel flap bag (similar here)}

The silk is as usual for Grana, a really nice 22mm Georgette satin (my favorite) so it's shiny and smooth (like a kimono silk should be).  I also like that this "blazer" has pockets.  But in general I'm not really a fan of the look.  I don't think the oversized kimono look works for my shorter and wider frame.

Grana Review Silk Joggers

* These joggers were received as a gift from Grana

I got these silk joggers a looong time ago so I really appreciate the fact that Grana still wants to work with me even though I'm not very diligent with my reviews.  But better late than never right?  Plus these are still in stock over at Grana so luckily I'm not too late with the review.  But to be completely honest, I'm a bit 'eh' about these silk joggers.  Actually I'm not really a joggers type of person in general, and that's probably why I'm not as enthusiastic about these pants as I could be.

First a note on sizing: I went with their size guide and it seemed the medium would fit me best and I'm glad I went with that size.  The elastic waist fit perfectly, though I did think the length was a bit long for my short legs.  Since these have elastic around the ankles I tried pushing them up a bit in the pictures below.

What do you think?  I think I like it a bit better with some ankle showing, though they wouldn't stay up like that when I started walking around.  

Even though I'm not a fan of these joggers, I did appreciate that these silk pants (like all of their silk pants) are made from double layered silk.  This particular one is made from silk crepe de chine (the same as their ankle pants) and thus are hand-washable (as vouched by a reader, though I haven't had any personal experience myself).  I also appreciate that the waistband of these joggers are sewed with the silk fabric so there's no flipping of the elastic (which is unlike the silk ankle pants and the silk culottes-- the elastic on those flips every time I use the bathroom and it sometimes gets a bit annoying having to straighten it out all the time). 

Overall I think if you're a fan of the joggers look then this silk jogger is a great item that combines the casualness of joggers with the luxury of silk.  As for me and my short legs, I think I'll stick with their silk ankle pants.  You can find all my Grana reviews here and first time Grana customers can get 10% off with this link.  Thanks for your support guys!

Grana Review Silk Sleeveless Blazer

*This review was sponsored and I received Grana's Silk Sleeveless Blazer for free.

Hi guys and another sponsored post for you today.  But just because it's sponsored doesn't mean I won't be real with you.  And the real deal here is that I don't love this silk piece.  Now don't get me wrong, I still love the quality of Grana's silk items (especially their 22mm silk satin) but I just don't think this sleeveless blazer is my style:

What do you think?  Or did I just style it poorly?  There's probably a little bit too much going on with this outfit, with the striped long sleeve shirt and the gold and black belt (I really love this thrifted vintage Ferragamo belt and I'm trying it with literally everything).  The faded ripped jeans is also probably not a good fit with the silk sleeveless blazer.  The funny thing was that when I was wearing this outfit, I thought 'yea this feels good'.  But when I saw the pictures I was like 'naw, this doesn't work'.

Anyway a bit more about the blazer itself, which is quite well-made.  It's double layered satin silk and some with a silk ribbon to tie at the waist.  I love the pockets and the wide lapels in the front.  I have to admit, the blazer itself isn't bad.  But I'm not sure I'm going to wear it.  Do you guys have any styling tips or ideas on how to wear this?

{update: So I added these sleeveless blazer to my Spring 10x10 challenge since I really wanted to see if I could style it better.  And you guys were right, it's better styled simple and without the belt.  I'm actually pretty in love with this now since it adds pockets to dresses (sort of like a lab coat).  Check it out here!}

Grana Review Silk Long Sleeve Pyjama Shirt

*This is a sponsored post and I received this Grana PJ for free

Hi guys!  Catching up on all my Grana reviews here.  I was sent these Grana silk PJ's back in December and it has been sitting in my "to review" pile for ages (I know such a bad blogger and I'm super lucky that Grana still wants to to work with me >.<).  I guess it took me so long because I really don't use silk PJs in my real life.  My usual PJ ensemble is an Everlane or Grana tee (that I usually just wear the next morning with some jeans for work), and Uniqlo loungewear (purchased before my fair fashion days, but to be honest they make great loungewear.  I think the key to not doing any more harm at this point would be to just keep them and use the stuffing out of them).

But when I got these Everlane wide leg pants, I thought why not just try them out together.  And I have to say I really like the look.  Also the vintage Ferragamo belt I thrifted helps to give the outfit a more polished look.

I got this top in a small and as you can tell it's a bit of an oversized fit (as PJs probably should be).  I really love the sleeve and collar white piping detail as well as their mother of pearl buttons (I'm not sure if its genuine or faux--I mean do they even make faux mother of pearl?) .  Also this top is made from their shinier and more luxe 22mm Georgette Satin (my favorite).  As we head into the warmer months I probably won't be wearing a long sleeve silk top but as fall rolls back around, I look forward to trying this top again with different outfits (even if the PJ trend is over).

I took so long to write this review that they no longer have this top in black, but they do have a pretty cute pink color now.  And for first time buyers, get 10% off with this referral link to Grana (and thanks for your support!).

Grana Silk Mini V-neck Slip Dress Review

*I should mention that this post was sponsored (yay for my second free shipment from Grana), but I originally had purchased a black version of this myself already.  But it was very nice of them to let me try the blue version for free.

Hi guys, it's been awhile since my last Grana review but if you've been following my Instagram you know that's pretty much all I've been wearing everyday (mostly those silk ankle pants).  It's a bit early to be wearing this dress (the temps here have been in the 50s and 60s) but I just can't wait for spring and I really love the color of this dress (so spring like!).

So for those who've read my other Grana silk reviews, you know I love love love Grana's items made from their 22mm Georgette satin (over their 14mm crepe de chine).  And so of course I love this dress as well.  As usual with their 22mm satin the material is super smooth, thick, and feels durable.  

I'm a huge fan of Grana's regular v-neck slip dress (review here)  but I always thought that midi length was just a bit too long for my short-ish frame.  So I was really excited when they came out with this mini version.  And boy, I was not let down.

Just like their regular version, this mini version is made from double layers of their georgette satin so no VPL here.  But I should note that for me anyway, the double layer ends right before the start of the side slit on the leg so the inner silk layer ends right at my butt (which isn't a bad thing, but sometimes you can see where that inner layer ends.  Also I have to be careful when bending over).  And for a mini dress the slit doesn't go up too high, which I prefer.

As for sizing, I'm usually between a small and a medium in Grana, but went with the small here since from past experience the chest area of the silk slip dresses tended to run large.  It fit fine except was a tiny bit snug in the butt area (but that's my fault not the dresses, lol).

Anyways since it's a bit too cold still to wear the dress as is, I tried some outfit variations below.  What do you think of the light blue and rust orange?  I kind of like the combo!

Grana Review Silk Collarless Shirt

So I realize I'm a bit late in the game on this review since Grana has had this item forever and I've already wrote many many reviews of Grana's silk items (and have firmly established that I love their 22mm Georgette Satin over their 14mm crepe de chine).  But I saw an outfit on Pinterest the other day of a fairly masculine look consisting of a navy silk shirt and some loose fitting dark denim pants.  So I tried recreating it with Grana for the top and bottom.  What do you think?

{Wearing: Grana silk collarless shirt, Grana slim boyfriend jeans (review here), Everlane Modern Oxfords (review here), Mansur Gavriel Mini Lady Bag (review here)}

Personally, I kind of like it.  

As for the actual silk collarless shirt, I think it's just alright.  In fact this shirt might be my least favorite silk item from Grana yet.  That's probably because this shirt is only a single layer of their crepe de chine silk, as opposed to their silk ankle pants which is a double later (and I looooove their silk ankle pants). 

In the winter I find that when I layer this shirt with a sweater, the silk has some crazy static and really clings to my body (I should probably research how to prevent that, but then I just end up wearing cotton and wool sweaters so don't feel the need to look into that).  I think at this point I'm seriously all talked out about silk, especially Grana's 14mm crepe de chine.  But ironically I find myself wearing their silk ankle pants and silk culottes almost daily.  Plus I got another (sponsored) package from Grana of their new silk items (the joggers, the vest, and their mini v-neck slip dress) so I'll be talking about silk some more.  So guess I'm not quite done yet!

Grana Review Silk Bomber

When I reviewed Everlane's E2 Bomber here, I extolled the virtues of a bomber jacket without any embellishments.  So I was pretty excited to see an all silk bomber jacket on Grana's site and knew I had to try it out (and thanks to all those who click on my referral link, I could)!  

So first a note on size.  I'm wearing a medium here and you can see that it's still quite cropped and fitted on me (for reference I'm 5'4" and usually a size 4 on top).  Since it's so cropped and fitted, it would be challenging to wear anything thick and warm underneath the bomber (here I'm wearing Everlane's silk shell).  If you're wearing this in a colder climate then you would probably have to wear a thick jacket or coat on top of the bomber.

The silk that this bomber is made from is their 22mm georgette satin, so it has a heavier weight and more of a sheen than Grana's 14mm silk (this is my personal favorite of the two types of silk Grana offers).  This is the same silk used on their V-neck slip dress and their silk culottes.  Because of the silk material, this bomber is quite unstructured (especially compared to Everlane's bomber which was super structured since it had a light filler layer.  I personally prefer a more structured look to a bomber so I wasn't a fan of this look.  But on the plus side, the bomber is also lined with silk on the inside so you it does feel like you're wearing a kind of sumptuous kimono.

This silk bomber is probably best for those who live in warmer climates or as a substitute for a cardigan inside the office.  But true outerwear this is not.

Grana Silk Culottes Review

I explained my issues with culottes when I reviewed Everlane's poplin culottes so I was a bit skeptical about these culottes from Grana.  But since I had some credit (thank you guys for your support!) I thought, why not?  And well... I'm still a bit undecided but have warmed up to them and like them more than I thought I would.  Partially because I styled them a couple of different ways, threw some pictures up on instagram, and got some really good feedback on them (and a lot of likes, which is a sure feeling of validation lol).  

{wearing: All Saints cropped trench (similar here), Valentino glam lock purse (similar here) and rock stud shoes (here), Grana silk culottes}

I ordered these in a medium and they fit perfectly.  Since the waistband is elastic, I'm sure a small would have fit as well (but with a medium it feels like I'm wearing very comfortable PJs).  These culottes are made with the 22mm georgette satin silk (which I prefer over their 14mm silk used for their silk ankle pants).  These, like their silk ankle pants are also made from double layers of silk so there's 0% chance of VPL (and the shape of the culottes help with that as well).  The silk is so smooth, shiny and luxurious.  The pants are super flowy and to me, have an avant-garde look (well I at least feel a bit avant-garde when I wear these).

{wearing: Everlane ribbed wool cashmere sweater (review here), Mansur Gavriel mini lady bag (similar here), Valentino rockstud flats (here)}

I'm liking these pants enough that I'm thinking of giving the Everlane culottes another chance this summer.  But if I do try them again I would probably need to hem them to suit my short legs.  I'm thinking of hemming these as well.  What do you think?  Will they look better shorter?

And the outfit above got the most likes out of all the different ways I styled these pants.  Maybe it's because I paired a Comme des Garcons look with a Comme des Garcons Play tee (similar here).  Anyway I'm willing to give these pants a serious try in my current wardrobe, especially since I'm starting to really get tired of my skinny jeans.  I would say the only drawback to these pants is that you have to be extra careful when going to the bathroom because of all that extra flowy and silky material.  But other than that I'm really starting to warm up to this silhouette.  What about you?

Grana Review Silk Ankle Pants Review

Still catching up on all my Grana reviews here so bear with me as I post several Grana reviews in a row.  These silk ankle pants have been making their rounds around the blogosphere with mostly favorable reviews so I thought I might as well try them out as well.  These ankle pants are made of Grana's 16mm crepe de chine, which I'm not really a huge fan of (I much prefer their 22mm georgette satin which is what their v-neck tank and slip dresses are made of).  But at the very least, these are made with 2 layers of silk which makes the pants feel much more substantial.  Also because of the double layer of silk, there's no VPL which is also a win in my book.

First a note on sizing, I ordered the pants in medium short because although I'm 5'4" I have the legs of a short person.  I love that Grana sizing comes in short, regular or long so you can really find the fit that works best for you.

Anyways I love love love these pants.  They're super comfortable and they feel like PJs really.  I wore them for the 20+ hours plane rides and layovers that it took to get to Thailand and they were perfect (very little to no wrinkling!!).  Felt like PJ's but didn't look as shabby.  These are now my go-to airplane pants.

The only annoying thing about these pants is that with prolonged wear, the elastic band sometimes twists.  So every now and then you have to straighten the elastic out.  But other than that a pair of quality silk pants for $69 is totally worth it.  If you're interested in getting your own pair, this referral link will get you 10% off for first time customers.  And you can find all my other Grana reviews here.

And here are some other blogger's opinions of these silk ankle pants: Capsule Closet, Karen Cheng, and K is for Kani.

Grana Silk V-neck Slip Dress Review

So if you've read my review on Grana's silk V-neck tank, you know I'm a huge huuuuuge fan of their new georgette satin.  So it's no surprise that I'm also a ginormous fan of their V-neck slip dress.  And in fact I like the slip dress more just because it's an easy and super comfortable outfit in just one piece.  Add a cashmere sweater to this and you're ready for fall!

First off, I ordered this in a size small and it was the perfect size (I'm about a size 4).  I think my only negative about this dress would be the length.  It's a bit long for my 5'4" frame but it does look about right as a midi-length dress on me.  And I don't mind the extra length so much because there are some sexy slits on the sides that hit at just the right spot (about middle/upper-thigh).  If the slit was any higher it might be too scandalous for everyday wear.  But as it is, it's the perfect amount of modesty and feminine sexiness.  

I think my favorite thing about this dress is that the upper portion is just right for me.  I don't have any issues with the straps falling down (in fact I was moving Airstreams in the dress--ie hard manual labor-- and didn't have any trouble with the straps).  So this dress is perfect for us small-bust gals, but if you're on the larger side you might find it a bit tight on top and might need to go a size up.  The top portion is also double layered silk so it smooths any bumps you might get from an ill-fitting strapless bra.

I loved it so much I bought two, one navy and one black.  I had just gotten the black when Stephanie from @ifonlyihadsomewhere asked about it on intagram so I posted some pics on my insta story with it styled in that 90's look going around on the blogosphere.  All I need is a black velvet chocker and some round sunnies, lol.  (And yes, my mirror is propped up on a mattress.  A bit ghetto but storage for an extra mattress for an Airstream is hard to find so behind the mirror it goes!).  

So if you're looking for a high-quality silk dress that's super affordable ($80 for a silk dress!), then this might be the one for you.  I'm so in love with this I'm contemplating getting one more, buuut I need to slow my roll on these things.  How many silk dresses does one girl need?  Anyway if you're interested, you can get 10% off your first Grana purchase with this referral link and you can find my other Grana reviews here.

Grana Silk Racerback Camisole

Back when I first reviewed Grana's silk tank (the tl;dr version: don't get it because I found it lacking compared to Everlane, Equipment and Cuyana silk tops) a reader had mentioned the racerback silk camisoles were better than the tank because the camis have 2 layers of silk.  So I decided to try it out in a light color like dove gray.  I ordered it in the small (even though I order all my cotton shirts from Grana in a medium) since the small silk tank had fit well.  And I'm glad I did because the small was right size...but the silk camisole still didn't impress me.

They used the same type of silk as they did with the tank, a 14mm crepe de chine.  So even though it was s double layered cami, each layer of silk was quite thin.  I wore it with an invisible bra because of the strappy racerback.  But it still looked kind of weird.  The overall shape wasn't super flattering and this silk is still crappy.  BUT, Grana came out with a new silk material (I think over a month ago now, but I'm just so behind on all my postings) and that one is ten times more awesome.  They call it Georgette satin and so far they have a tank and dress in those materials (but on their site they mix all the different silk stuff together so make sure you read the "details & care" section so you know which one is which).  And I'm going to review Grana's silk v-neck tank next week.  But if you were thinking of getting this racerback cami, don't!  Definitely get the silk v-neck tank for only $4 more.  It is so worth it!  {And use this link to get 10% off your first order from Grana}

 

Grana Silk Review (and Grana vs. Everlane vs. Cuyana Silk Shirts)

Happy Monday guys!  And here's a review that some of you have requested: a review on Grana silk.  So for those of you who are unfamiliar with Grana as I was, Grana is a bit like Hong Kong's version of Everlane.  Their mission is to make quality clothing and sell it directly to consumers, thereby keeping prices reasonable.  Their basic model below:

When I first hopped onto their site, I immediately thought if Everlane and Uniqlo had a baby, it would be Grana.  It's the combination of Uniqlo's styling and Everlane's concept.  But Grana has a wide selection of items to choose from, whether it's denim from Japan, linen from Ireland, and cotton from Peru.  So I ordered a little bit of everything to try them all out, but today I'm starting with the silk since that was item that readers asked about most.

If you haven't read my first review of Everlane vs. Equipment vs. Cuyana silk then check it out becuase I go into the differences in types and quality of silk, and it'll probably help with some of the terminology coming up.

So here are three black silk items from Cuyana (top right), Everlane (top left), and Grana (bottom half).  The first picture is in indirect light and the second is in full sunlight.  

When laid in this way you can't really tell any differences.  But here are the same three but with my hand under one layer so you can somewhat see through the silk starting with Grana, then Everlane, and last Cuyana.

Grana

Grana

Everlane

Everlane

Cuyana

Cuyana

Can you see that the Grana one is ever so slightly more see-through and a different texture than the Everlane one?  And the Cuyana one is a lot more opaque than both the Grana and Everlane silks.  So here is my impression of Grana's silk:

~ Grana feels like the lowest quality silk of all the shirts I've tried so far.  I think Everlane and Equipment are at about the same level of quality, but Grana is a step below.  Grana's silk feels the least silky, the least smooth and the least soft.  It also seemed the thinnest.

~ To find out about the momme weight of their silk, I emailed Grana and was told it was 16mm, which would put it exactly the same mm as Everlane's silk.  However the difference in feel between Everlane and Grana must mean there is a difference in the thread count (or something but I'm not sure what).

~ And to try to rule out some bias (since I know how much each of these shirts costs), I had my husband do a blind feel test.  And he knows nothing about silk but based on what he thought was the best feel, he rated Grana the lowest, Everlane next and then Cuyana as the best (he was completely on his own and I did not say anything to bias his opinions).

To incorporate findings from my last silk review which included Equipment, here's my current silk standings (not really to scale except to say that Everlane's and Equipment's silk were very similar):

As for the actual tank top I purchased from Grana, I ordered a size small.  As you can see both the arm holes and neckline are super oversized (so you better be sure you wear a cute bra underneath since it will most likely be peeking through).  If I were to order a silk top to keep I might even go with an XS on this.  (For reference I'm 5'4" and wear a small/size 4 on most tops).

So even though the silk was a slight disappointment, I'm not giving up hope on Grana yet.  I still have yet to try their other items.  In the meantime if you want to try out some of Grana's item for yourself (though at this point I would recommend spending the extra $$ and going with Everlane silk if you can), here's a referral link to get you 10% off your first order (and full disclosure, I get $20 if you order from that link which of course I'll use to review more of their items).  

P.S. By the way, their silk just happened to be the first product I reviewed and one out of two things I didn't love.  I also ordered their pima cotton shirt, their Japanese denim and their Irish linen and loved them all.  Those reviews coming soon.  So don't write-off Grana just yet!

{August 2016 edit: I have since reviewed Grana's newest silk offering, their V-neck tank and slip dress, and those are waaaay better than the silk top reviewed here.  Grana's georgette satin is as good as Everlane silk at about half the price.  Read the full review on Grana's V-neck tank top here.}

{December 2016 edit: here is a comprehensive list of all my Grana Reviews.  Grana is quickly becoming one of my go-to brands for well-made basics!}
