I purchased this Ogden dress from LA makers April Meets October back in May, and a part of me wanted to review this dress in October so that the review was a bit like May meets October lol. But seeing as by the time October rolls around this spring/summery dress would be out of season, I decided to review it asap (according to my current posting schedule). So I guess it’s a bit more like May meets August for this Ogden dress lol. Anyway month-talk aside let’s get into the review!

I bought these Beklina Matisse Criss Cross Platform Slides back in November and if you follow me on Insta you’ve probably seen them a lot. I first heard of this small women-owned ethical brand from Erica (my number one enabler/tempter lol), but had seen her shoes before (especially her clogs and sandals). So when she had a November sale I couldn’t resist getting these platform slides in buff (with the 50% off sale I got them for $115 including tax and shipping—such a good deal for ethically made clog-type shoes).
