I love toteme but their clothes are very hit and miss fits for women that are not built tall and slender. I have the same problem with many scandi brands (acne and COS break my hear) that I adore
any tips on similar styles but maybe smaller items?

I know what you mean, I am considered quite tall and slender BUT I have round hips and their trousers rarely fit. So I have to take lycra stretchy trousers. Otherwise I stick with their tops.I love toteme but their clothes are very hit and miss fits for women that are not built tall and slender.

There is Tibi that I really like, otherwise Zara does better for "mediteranean curves". And depending where you are, there are fabulous corean brands.
Love these!
This is such a great thread. I was just lurking in the celebrities wearing Chanel thread and was surprised that almost no one, with their next to unlimited clothing budgets and perks, looked good. I do think you’re on to something here. It is so much easier to look great with A well edited minimal wardrobe.
Thank you. I agree, I don´t think American celebrities have a good style, they are just wearing athletic gear. Money doesn´t buy style, they don´t seem to care. And we shouldn´t be slaves to appearance, but in my culture there is a minimum that´s considered respectful for people around. Like the whole debate about Justin and Hailey Bieber looking like they were heading to Las Vegas to meet the French president and his wife.
I personally love the power dynamics of this it’s very:
“For you, President Macron, the day Bieber came to your village was the most important day of your life. For Bieber it was a Tuesday.”

Which shops carry Korean brands? I´m in scandinavia too.
Just saw Wood Wood carries Amomento, its exactly the shop I (normally) avoid because I´m not made for unisex boxy clothes :/ (which sums up scandi fashion)

Lol! I’m guessing that was the point they were making, but thank heavens there are still many who thought they looked clueless. Sometimes I look back on old photos of myself taken at times when I thought I looked so cool, and now I just think, Wow, did you ever look stupid!
I am starting to look into my fall/winter wardrobe. I have bought two silk slipdresses (to wear under dresses) and two new 100 denier Wolford tights.
I normally wear a long tanktop underneath dresses, but I feel I need a bit more luxury in my everyday, and I love wearing (strechy) silk.
Since I became a mom almost 3 years ago I have worn cheap tights instead of Wolford, which I used prior. But now it is time to go back to Wolford, so I hope they still fit my newer bodyshape

I really love summer, but I feel like I'm ready for fall clothing! I love dressing for this season the most ☺️ and I think I also need new tights this year. I have never tried Wolford though, but Falke tights work really well for me.I am starting to look into my fall/winter wardrobe.

I wrote about my allergy related wardrobe struggles a few weeks ago (metal allergies), and now after I tested really everything I come in contact with (jewelry, buttons, closures, chain straps, zippers..), here is the result: Nearly all clothing items are safe for me to use, and only 2 jewelry pieces tested positive (one will be altered and one donated - was costume jewelry), and unfortunately the hand-me-down leather gloves from my great grandmother have decorative metal parts with nickel. But interestingly - and very fitting here for the purse forum - nearly half of my bags & wallets tested positive (more than half if I don't count bags that don't have any metal on them in the first place), including a 3 year old Coach bag and a vintage Miu Miu bag. Thankfully my two most used everyday bags (simple black tote and simple black crossbody bag) as well as my two most expensive bags (Hermès & Philip Lim) tested negative.
But 4 out of the 5 backpacks (leaving me with one very casual fabric backpack) that I own will leave my collection as well as all of my travel bags.
I haven't gotten rid of any bags yet, most will probably be donated to my local thrift store and I'll try to sell the Coach bag and Miu Miu bag .
But on the other side I'm excited for new luggage. My suitcase will stay but I want a new weekend bag and backpack.
Also I already notice that I miss my leather backpacks. I had two black ones and one in lavender. But I will take my time with deciding on this purchase.
The sad thing for me is: going forward second-hand is tricky. I noticed that the older the bag, the more likely it will give off nickel. Also bags made for the European market are safer on average. I really like shopping second-hand, especially with bags, but for now I'll look more into small ethical designer brands, where I can ask about the materials before purchase.

I bought it from Wood Wood but for example the Spanish brand Paloma wool also makes not so super unisex minimalistic clothing which is a brand amomento and wood wood carries!
otherwise amomento delivers worldwide but I’m too stingy to pay customs

Where did you find silk slips?
