First off, I should mention I have never owned the 24/24 in the 21 size so take my review with a grain of salt (I’ve just tried it on at the RealReal in Marin). But I have the 29 size (in Etain Togo and Swift leather from 2020) and I have to say, I don’t like it.

When I wrote my review on the Cartier Juste Un Clou ring, I thought that ring wasn’t all that. And I thought that was a one off. So I had high high hopes for my next Cartier purchase. So what did I think? Is the Cartier Love ring worth it to me?

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?
