In my recent style session with Reva she was RAVING about those stirrup leggings and the outfits you put together with them feel so cool to me. I love the Mango jacket too, I bought a leather one similar and have never thought to button it all the way and wear it as a top! Now I want to try that!

Thanks, Kelly!! I saw your gorgeous Mango jacket in your last post - I think you could totally wear it as a top. Maybe try it with some of your cool barrel pants and jeans! x

My little trick for stirrup leggings is to wear it OVER a low heel. So like swing the stirrup part over the shoe and under the archway. I love the way it looks! PLEASE do a Merit deep dive -I am so curious about their stuff but haven’t bought anything yet xx

You look so chic in the leggings!! I particularly love it paired with the blazer - I love the softness against the structure. Also, I own the Kinto from A.EMERY and I love mine!! I also own another A.EMERY pair that I love equally. If you're unsure about sizing, I'd recommend emailing for help on selecting a size. Since returns aren't $$ friendly with A.EMERY.

This is a good tip - thank you!! I have pretty small feet - do you find they fit big? Did you have to size down? I'll email them, too! x

I cannot find my email to confirm, but I ended up sizing up based on their recommendation with the Kinto. I think I could have gone TTS though. Typically, my feet run on the narrow side. It depends on how much space you want in the back (heel right up to the edge or with some wiggle room). I opted for wiggle room. I also have longer toes, so I felt sizing up helped. Definitely email them! I don't want to lead you down the wrong path!

For added context, I also bought the Nodi and my regular size and that fits great too! If I recall correctly, the Nodi had some extra "buffer" in the sole vs the cushiony part so sizing up in that size wasn't necessary.

I’m also such a fan of the splits legging! I like how light but opaque they are and are great for those who don’t want to wear just a basic legging. I love the Mango jacket on you ❤️ And I’ve been looking for a muted olive-brown blazer like your Zara one. I’ve been regularly checking as I like their blazer so may need to try it out.

I got a mirror tripod bc lighting in our room is kinda dark and my husband and I just laugh when it’s hanging out in the corner…like so silly 😂 but I find them helpful for my videos!

Seriously feel validated any time YOU compliment my outfits! You were my biggest inspo for wearing a jacket as a top! Try the Zara blazer for sure. I've had it for years, and still haven't gotten bored of it. It's a great colour that goes with a lot.

LOL my husband and I laugh about the tripod being our closet, too. I LOVE your videos and can definitely see how it'd be helpful for them! x

Another vote for the Merit deep dive, am also a big fan! Went through a similar journey with a tripod and went back to the mirror selfie. Love those leggings!

Thanks, Lindsay!! Love that I'm not alone about using a tripod. When I was trying it out, I was like "Why is this so hard for me?!" x

I’m definitely ordering the Zara mules. I have trouble getting ballet flats to fit properly and these might solve the problem!

I hope they work for you! I just love the ease of mules. x

A mirror selfie is still better than a flat lay any day 🙌🏼

So glad you agree! I like a good flat lay but I LOVE seeing how something fits on a real person! x

Love these posts! I’ve been debating those Zara mules and now I’m convinced! I can vouch for the Levi’s 501 90s in cream! I’ve had them for a year and love them.

I have those leggings too and I love them! Your styling is so good! I had a very similar pair of Zara slippers that had faux fur like 10 years ago and I’m kicking myself for donating! I guess I need the brown!

Thanks, Krissy! That's so sweet of you to say! Isn't it so funny how things always come back around?! x

Merit deep dive please! I love the idea but concerned about longevity of the makeup. Does it all disappear by the end of the day?!

Maria Hyde's avatar

I'll work on it! Not going to lie - it doesn't last all day. I've been really into lighter makeup these days, though, so it really doesn't bother me that it fades by the end of the day. I'll sometimes reapply, but most of the time, I just leave it. The makeup ends up being very subtle, but I like that it looks natural. x

Very comforting to get your tripod assessment as someone just trying to remember to clean the phone lens! 😘
