ooh i love how dainty those hand cuffs are! I've been meaning to check out catbird but haven't seen their stuff in person yet. I'm a fan of the Jennifer Zeuner lariat necklaces myself! :)

The ID bracelet can be adjusted according to the seller, so it will probably fit you fine! It is beautiful. I did end up repurchasing that bangle I had lost (as mentioned above) as there was a promotion I couldn't pass up. Thankfully, this time it is rock solid and doesn't come off until I remove it myself. Amazing how such a simple accessory can change one's appearance, isn't it?

These are all so delicate and beautiful! I'm actually thinking of getting the id bracelet for myself. I have impossibly small wrists, so I haven't worn a bracelet in who knows how long. I did find some thin gold bangles laying around my house though while moving that have restored my infatuation with bracelets, and have also been trying to find a good bracelet for understated daily wear. Good luck with your search!

Re: Everlane Weekender

Hello Katie, I am very sorry to hear this has happened to you.
The only experience I have had with Everlane is the one I've written about in this post. Due to me only being a customer, I regret to say that I would not be able to help you with this matter. In times where contacting customer service leads nowhere, it is not a bad idea to take it to the company's Facebook page. According to the posts on Everlane's, It seems as though they are swamped with customer service requests lately and have been experiencing some delay. I saw that you already posted this same message over there and that they had replied, so I do hope your issue will get resolved soon!

Hi, I would like to
share my experience with the brand Everlane with you. Unfortunately it has been
an extremely difficult and upsetting experience. I do not want anyone else to
spend good money with a company that does not care about its customers.

I purchased a Petra Market Tote on the 5th March 2014.
Within the first couple of weeks of receiving the bag, one side of the bag's
leather started to bubble up and away from the suede interior lining, leaving
the bag looking bubbly and like an extremely cheap looking handbag.

I contacted Everlane on the 7th April with photographs and
an explanation of what has happened. I also advised that I had purchased the
handbag and had it forwarded onto Australia at my own extra cost. I received a
reply from 'Brian' within 4 days (contrary to their 24 hr reply system.) He was
apologetic and offered to replace the 'defective' bag and that although it was
not their standard policy, they would ship the replacement bag to Australia.
'Brian' asked for my shipping address, I replied and sent my address back with
in 12 hours.

Then I heard nothing from Everlane. I sent one email on the
1st of May, another one on the 8th of May before getting a response from
'Brian' on the 19th of May, apologizing for the delay and stating "We're
still a small team here and with all of the new product launches recently,
we've been a little bit swamped" How hard is it to send out a replacement
for a faulty bag when they ship out items on a daily basis? I was asked to
AGAIN send my details, to which I did, again within 12 hours.

Today is the 29th of May and I have since sent
another email requesting any information and to be kept updated on my
replacement bag or a refund.

It has now been 7 WEEKS since my initial email and I have
been extremely patient and polite until now and I do not know what to do with a
company that treats it customers like they do not care! Any advise or help with
this issue with Everlane would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, Katie

Unfortunately I bought it at Winners/Marshall's a little while back and don't know which brand it's from either! I found a similar one here http://www.notonthehighstre... and here http://www.mollieandfred.co... Hope that helps!

I love the white rabbit bowl ring holder you have, can I ask where it's from?

I don't know if I am rough but I am kind of clumsy... I lost one half of my favourite pair of earrings a while back. :( Had to purchase them again and they weren't cheap... So now I am completely paranoid about all the jewelry I wear, constantly touching them and making sure they're still on me.
YES IT DOES so I don't think I'll ever own it but it's so pretty!

Re: Hand Cuffs

Liz — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:35:32 -0000

Oh gosh, they're all so pretty! I wish I could wear delicate things like that but I am too rough with my accessories. It actually got to the point that I completely stopped buying them except for the odd ring here and there. Just looked at that Ballerina bracelet and DANG it costs a lot. x___x

The sweater was definitely worth the price. Basic cashmere sweaters elsewhere (J. Crew, really) run about $100 more at times, even for the thin cashmere tee's. I like Everlane because it does offer basic, classic pieces for a fair price. The sweater is thick enough to keep you comfortable in 60 degree (F) weather. I think you're right about the pilling - it isn't too bad, I just noticed a bit. I had the same thoughts about the suede - glad you confirmed!

Re: Hand Cuffs

Christine — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:26:28 -0000

You know how much I love rings! And nonsense, they look good on anyone. I think small delicate ones would look especially pretty on you.

Re: Hand Cuffs

Christine — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:24:55 -0000

Ah! How I wished I had any jewelry-making skills. I would never have to worry about finding the perfect piece again.
I agree! I am into some OTT pieces when it's a special event, like a wedding, but otherwise, I am more likely to notice (and be envious of) delicate and elegant pieces on someone. :)

I did purchase the Vitamin C Serum shortly after writing this post and it was, for a while, the best thing in my skincare routine. It really did hydrate and brighten my face, all the while taking care of my hyperpigmentation marks. You have to be really mindful of the shelf life of 6 months though -- I went a little beyond that and the serum started doing more harm than good. I would suggest using generous amount every time as to not let the serum go to waste. I had to throw away half of the bottle, much to my dismay! It worked well enough that I would purchase it again, but I decided to go back on my words and try mixing ingredients from scratch. I might report back on that eventually! Do you think you could make a serum with the Philosophy powder that you could mix every couple of days (instead of every day)?

Thanks for the Murad recommendation -- I just found a trial size tube of that very same moisturizer in my undying stash of samples. I should put it to good use!

Re: Everlane Weekender

Christine — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 16:01:08 -0000

Lovely! I am quite in love with their new colour collection and have my eyes set on a Mulberry silk blouse, either the band or point collar one. It's too bad about the pilling on the cashmere sweater, but I think it's something to expect from that kind of material. Do you think it was still worth the price?

I think the suede Weekender is absolutely lush and beautiful, but I tend to be a little carefree about bags and other such accessories. For me, personally, the suede material would require too much maintenance and I would worry about it getting dirty or scuffed all the time. Canvas is still durable and I can throw the bag in the overhead bin without worrying too much about damaging it.

love all of these!! especially the Bar ID one, and the ballerina one *-*. watches and dainty bracelets are the only accessories i'll really look out for (rings are nice too, but sadly i just don't think my fingers are nice enough for rings)

Mario Badescu just had a sale on Gilt, and I bought the Vitamin C Serum and his Seaweed Night Cream (http://www.mariobadescu.com.... The Vitamin C Serum is great. I have acne prone skin and old marks, and this serum has already delivered results in my 5 uses. Marks have significantly reduced in appearance, and my skin looks fresher. The night cream is luxurious - but don't be scared if you have oily skin, like me. It delivers enough moisture overnight so that your sebaceous glands reduce activity during the day. Meaning, my skin is less oily during daylight hours. I also use Murad's Essential C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (full Murad Essential C suite here: http://www.murad.com/enviro.... Great protection and dose of Vitamin C. I used to use the powder boost, and have a bunch left - I found it cumbersome at best. I would add it to moisturizer, and my morning routine felt like I was in a science lab. I may give it another whirl now that you remind me of it - I have a bit left. Thanks for sharing these products!

Re: Everlane Weekender

Daphne — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 14:43:27 -0000

Thanks for such a thorough review! I just received my first Everlane purchase, which consists of the Silk Point Collar in Pine (blouse), the Slouchy V-Neck in Light Grey (cashmere sweater), and the Weekender in Solid Ash Blue. I love the silk blouse and the color - it's not quite pine, and not quite black, and serves as a unique neutral color. The sweater is very cozy and warm. One sweater drawback is that you have to be mindful of pilling - it pills after a mere three wears.

I have yet to use the Weekend, but am glad you report that the straps do not wear down too terribly - it was one thing I was scared about. I am contemplating sending it back for the suede - what are your thoughts?

I think it was because I struggled with bracelet sizing so much that I started to make my own and never looked back. I am in agreement though, some of the more delicate metal pieces are so effective and chic and really finish an outfit in such a lovely understated way. You don't always need it to be an OTT piece to get noticed.

Oh how I would love that too! It would make my candle shopping much easier... or more dangerous? If you do happen to see this particular candle again, do take a whiff!
I had doubts too and I must admit that 50% of the reason I bought it was for the packaging, but I find it actually does deliver. It's too sticky and messy to be used during daytime though, that's my only qualm with it.

Re: Getting me through winter

Liz — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:14:26 -0000

Oh, I saw that candle at Winners too and was tempted but had to pass. Wish I could sniff through the internet! And I had doubts about the Dior cuticle crème but you make it sound so good, I'll have to take a second look. :)

Re: Everlane Weekender

Christine — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 00:21:22 -0000

I have only used the bag on two weekend (shopping-filled) trips so far so I wouldn't be able to tell yet how it would hold up with more frequent usage. As far as the straps go, they definitely show a little bit of wear, but considering how thin they are, that was to be expected. It's nothing too drastic, and the seams that hold them to the bag are still very much intact. Here is a photo of the wear I am talking about: http://tonightatnoon.com/im...

I did not have any colour issues (no colour transfer from rubbing on my clothes, no fading thus far) and the seams around the rest of the bag are still sturdy and holding up very well. Hope that helps!

Re: Everlane Weekender

PR — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:32:18 -0000

How is the bag holding up today? Any colour issues, strap issues? (Everlane told me they're changing the material to twill instead of cotton canvas so I might grab one soon before they make the switch!)

Nice review btw!
