Justine's Picks

Shoe: I love ALL the sandals! They are insanely comfortable and all neutral enough to go with everything.

Bag: The Mini Knot Tote Caramel–easy, elevated but big enough to throw in a few extras. Channeling the French Riviera in the 1930s (A very similar bag was featured in the recent Rebecca remake, so now I use the bag to channel the 1930s French Riviera – a place I’d very much like to be.)

Kendall’s Picks

Shoe: Everyday, I’m wearing the Market Mule Bone Lizard. These slides elevate every look, and they are SO easy!

Bag: The Convertible Belt Bag Lilac Lizard–its perfect size and optimistic colour.

Flax Sleep

"Sheets and bedding made from linen. It feels beautiful and gets better and better over time." – Justine.

Anklet Revival

"My 90s teenager self loves anklets. Jenny Bird and Kara Yoo put the best spin on the trend. " – Kendall.

Vestige Story

"The clothes arrived for our photoshoot. I immediately bought the Hyle Top." – Kendall.

LEZÉ The Label

"Elevated monochromatic looks that feel like leisurewear." – Justine.

Soft Focus

"Loungewear in contemporary silhouettes. The Scrunch Sweatshirt is my top pick." – Kendall.

Rocky Mountain Soap Co.

"Everyday I use their Natural Sunscreen. At night, I use their Hydrating Face Serum. My skin is noticeably more even and less red." – Justine.

Belt Measuring Guide

Belt Measuring Guide

A - High-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt around your natural waistline, wrap a measuring tape around the narrowest part of your midsection. Then, add 3” to determine your high-rise belt size.

B - Mid-rise style:

If you plan to wear your belt lower than your natural waistline, you will require a dierent size. If you have a particular pair of bottoms you intend to wear your belt with, wrap a measuring tape through the belt loops while in a relaxed position.

When wearing your belt in your preferred style, it should fasten in the middle hole. The belt will relax with wear allowing you to cinch it tighter, as needed.

If you plan to wear the belt in both the high and mid-rise styles, you have two options:

  1. Select your high-rise style and fasten it more loosely when worn in the mid-rise style.
  2. Select your mid-rise style and fasten it more tightly when worn in the high-rise style.
