Mociun Crescent Ring 1,426.00
This is one of the prettiest rings I've ever seen. The shape is gorgeous on a finger, and black diamonds? Just absolutely lovely.

A.P.C. Grommet Pocket Tee 90.00
This tee is super soft, and I love the pocket! I'm generally an xs in most lines, and I found the xs to fit me true to size.

A.P.C. Grommet Pocket Tee 90.00
I love a good white t-shirt. This one is soft, easy, and has the perfect pocket. I'm almost always an xs in APC, and this tee is no exception.

Maison Martin Margiela Oversize Tee 365.00
At 5'2'', this piece is beyond oversized on me, but I can still appreciate the incredible tailoring! It's true, the cut IS perfect. This would look amazing on someone with more height than me, and either a tailored trouser or a skinny jean. I LOVE the idea of wearing this with skinny, distressed blue denim, i.e. perfectly worn in APC jeans and the Margiela Point Toe Heel. Effortless.

Maison Martin Margiela Knit Tank 385.00
I'm 5'2'' typically a size xs in most lines, and I found the size small to be roughly 5 inches too long for me in the traditional sense. But I actually don't mind the length! I'd be happy to wear this piece a little long.

Maison Martin Margiela Knit Tank 385.00
I love the Navy/Ecru combination, it's easy to pair with almost any color without being an obvious neutral. I also love the way Margiela puts their stamp on a classic piece with the pulled thread detail. I'm 5'2'' typically a size xs in most lines, and I found the size small to be roughly 5 inches too long for me in the traditional sense. But I actually don't mind the length! I'd be happy to wear this piece a little long.

Isabel Marant Jenny Boots 580.00
I absolutely love the distressed sole detail on these boots! Also, I would describe "Moleskin Brown" as very similiar to the Taupe Dicker Boots, but roughly three shades lighter. I'm typically a 6.5 in shoes, and I found the size 6 in the Jenny Boots to be too small. But with a thin insole, the size 37 fit me perfectly! So for me, these are running true to size.

Kai-Aakmann Pleat Waist Trench 117.50
Cathleen. I just had fellow Totokaelo staff member, Stephanie, try on the size Medium for you! She's 5'8'' and is generally a size Medium. The trench fit her really well through the shoulders and the sleeve length, but it was a hair roomy amidst the body. Visually, we found that it looked intentionally oversized, and would be a great piece for layering. I hope this helps!

Cathleen. Hello! I'm sorry for the delay. I'll have a Totokaelo staff member, who normally wears a size Medium, try this on for you tomorrow. Be in touch soon!

I've been daydreaming about these glasses for weeks! On top of it, the sun has been out in Seattle for the past few days...time for new sunglasses? I've always had a soft spot for tortoise shell frames, and I absolutely love the subtlety of these.

Maison Martin Margiela Leather Low Boot 830.00
I used these on Ande quite a bit during our last photo shoot. They are so versatile! I absolutely love the rounded heel. I think circles are the new black! Ande typically wears a size 8, and she felt great in the size 38.

Isabel Marant Jaz Dress 535.00
I absolutely LOVE this floral print. For such a wild print, I find it strangely muted. It might have something to do with the softness of the black. I also love this worn as either a tunic or a dress. It would look incredible under a grey grandpa sweater and black tights.

Robert Clergerie William 568.00
These shoes are comprised of so many delightful details! In person, the cut outs on the side are more reminiscent of lattice work, than just plain squares. The soles are obviously amazing, but even the laces exude exquisite craftsmanship. They're thin, bright white, and just really nice. I'm typically a size 6.5 in shoes, and in these the length fits me great, but they are a bit narrow for my foot. Personally, I do find that nubuck stretches.
