I have more thoughts on Sabato de Sarno leaving Gucci
As I did my digging to learn more about Sabato de Sarno’s entrance to and exit from Gucci, I questioned whether two years were enough time. Is it reasonable to expect a designer to turn around a brand in a mere 24 months? If you think about what Gucci came to represent, you have to…

Sabato de Sarno is out
I still have the video Gucci put out, “Who is Sabato de Sarno?” on my watch later list. Now it would be pointless to watch. After entering the brand through the hole left by Alessandro Michele, Sarno had high expectations thrust upon him. Presumably, he didn’t meet those expectations, and that is why he is…

First impression: The Skin Reset Serum by Emma Lewisham
Today I am going to give you my first impression of the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum. This will not be a thorough review at all, because I only used the product for two days. Here is the first thing that I noticed. On day one I put it on after washing my face. It…

I have my eye on the luxury stays at Aman NYC
I am waiting, hoping for the day that I randomly win a sweepstakes, so I can finally afford a stay at Aman New York, or really any of their properties. Curiosity is my vice, and it has me desperately wanting to know if a stay at this luxury hotel is worth it. On a cheap…

These cleansing wipes from Cle de Peau are a strong contender
If you aren’t new here, you may know that I am very slowly becoming enamored with Cle de Peau. That’s a lie. I raved after I first tried a product from the luxury Japanese skincare brand. I am already enamored and am just continuing to try more products from them. Today, I would like to…

Is this the solution last minute shoppers have been waiting for?
I was on the Valentino webpage, as us nonwealthy do from time to time. I noticed they were promoting an option for a virtual gifting experience: 4Gift. As they put it, it gives you the option to give your recipient an instant digital unboxing, meaning you don’t need to worry about shipping delays. They get…

These are the hotels I’m recommending, if you’re wondering
Voting for the Travel+Leisure awards has opened. Here are four hotels I will be nominating. It’s only right for me to start this off with the hotel that started it all for me. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was the first “nice” hotel I ever stayed at and gave a glimpse into what excellent service meant.…

Quality is more than a feeling
Last year, I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what luxury was. That then took me down a different one to determine what quality was. I previously wrote about seven dimensions of perceived quality. Well, today I watched Bliss Foster go through his own list of possible dimensions. Then he came to…

Did you know Chanel made sunscreen?
Curiosity got the best of me as I walked through Nordstrom one day. That’s how I ended up with a Chanel sunscreen. I have been using their UV Essentiel and now the tube is almost empty. It’s time for a review. Among the claims that Chanel makes are that it will protect you from the…

Using a super luxe Cle de Peau sunscreen
If you aren’t new here, you will know that I am gradually becoming more and more impressed with Cle de Peau. Gradually because the price of the items means that it will take me a while to experience all of the products. This time, I tested out their UV Protective Cream. Quick caveat, I have…
