Thank you! I used to use Shipito (for almost two decades) but they got pretty costly so I switched to Planet Express (linked here: planetexpress.com/?ref=324270) which I've found is not only MUCH faster, but also less expensive. Once items have arrived at the mailbox it's usually 1 week for them to arrive in Sydney after I've paid the postage costs (their dashboard is a little clunky though).

You read my mind, haha. I have the Everlane pair (an all time favourite and I'm wearing them right now) and actually just ordered the Quince ones to compare!

@@mademoisellejaime Great minds! LOL. (I am also looking for the link of your list of what not to buy from Quince if you can please link that). Thanks Jamie!

Of course! It's towards the end of this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKq5kKOii6uYgrM

Which one did you get? I've noticed that there's a definitely discrepancy in the leather they use so would be good to know for others who come across this video :D As an example, I have a shoulder bag and the leather is fine, but it's nowhere near the high quality of the bag I showed in this video (which truly rivals some of my bags that are $500+). Highlights how brands can have some exceptional products, and some that are just okay - I've found this to be a consistent theme across every brand I've tried at this point (one of the reasons why I think sharing reviews or what's good/what's not is so helpful - also good to get other perspectives/experiences as well as it adds to our shared knowledge 🥰)

I love that your first instinct was to just try it on - fabulous! I think I know the jacket you mean. And I absolutely agree, they really need to upgrade their styling as their studio shots never do the items justice 🫣

It's hands down one of my favourite pieces I own from the brand - unbelievably soft and I agree on the cut, feels a lot more special than a basic crew <3

Oooh this is fabulous to know, thank you for sharing!

Our washing machine has a wool cycle so I’ll always use that to launder any knitwear (merino, cashmere, silk, cotton etc), then I’m careful to make sure I reshape the garment before leaving it to dry. I do also have a video on clothing care on my channel and besides having a new washing machine now (the old one broke!), my method is still the same if I wash by hand x

You’re so good for looking out for me! I have been filming some video clips for the Quince team, which they overlay with their own audio - it’s funny to watch these as I half expect to hear something like my voice hehe! And also, thank you! Been very cool to also get to some work with a brand I’ve been a loyal customer of for years 🥰

@@mademoisellejaime Amazing, I'm so glad to hear it! I hope you get to work with them tons more in the future :)

Looks like plastic

@@meg7578, yes, indeed...

Thank you! And yes Arket does - just make sure you’re on the international shipping page 🥰

And here I was thinking Burgundy was an autumn/winter colour staple. Silly me... LOL! Honestly it's hard to tell if that Vogue article is taking the Mickey or not as I feel like 99% of the trends are just items that get worn during the colder months?

@@mademoisellejaime I suppose they need people to click somehow. If there is nothing new to show (which is okay, we don't need new trend every season), they need to repackage something old for the sake of content. But I agree with you, it does feel deceptive.

I feel like the trend cycle sped up so fast now there is nothing new. Which I'm actually happy about - gives us space to just enjoy what we have in our wardrobes :D

@@mademoisellejaime true! 👍👍

Ah oops! It's this one from Sezane: seza.ne/QND8x4PF8K

thank you!!

Polyamide is another synthetic, just like polyester, and I have a rule that I like to avoid synthetics in my knitwear (ie. I wouldn't buy a poly blend sweater either for that reason). So yes the bomber is polyester/nylon; it's an outerwear piece and bombers in general typically are made of some sort of nylon. The way fabrics are manufactured are different, and some synthetics are higher quality than others - also, I have a bit more tolerance when it's an outerwear piece (though I see little need to blend it with wool - I'd prefer a 100% wool coat over a synthetic blend). So, it's not that the polyester is okay, but it was my expectation that it was going to be synthetic and in small amounts/limited items, that's okay. I will also accept it in trousers too though these will always be items I am limited to wearing only during the winter time. Sometimes you have to put durability and practicality ahead of other requirements (I have two young children so that's a factor) - the Sezane synthetic blend knitwear I don't find durable as it doesn't wash well, comes out feeling plasticky even after hand washing. Does that help explain it? Let me know if you have any other Qs!

@@mademoisellejaime thank you! Yes, makes sense. As I have been trying to switch to more natural fibers, I am finding out that alot of the clothing available is mixed with synthetic materials. Like you said pants. I’m sure blends help hold their shape and not look like pajama pants. I guess we gotta pick and choose so we’re not looking like a bunch 1800s farmers in head to toe linen, wool and cotton 😆 maybe I really gotta give sewing a go

Yes it's a bit of a balance really - knowing what is important for you/what you want to prioritise helps!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I think, my favourite too. This is much more reflective of the way that people typically piece together their closet as well. As versatile as black, white and grey basics are, this signals a sense of warmth and if you aren't excited by the items you're wearing, you'll get bored or get that itch to add in the new thing. I hope that you have been doing great! How is your writing going? x

I think it's more the item that is sold as a midi might be maxi on you without some sort of modification - midi length is that mid shin length (items are usually cut based on a fit model so not one size fits all - I suspect you must have to do a fair bit of tailoring!). Where in Australia are you travelling? Happy to provide some suggestions for places to shop/check out if you are visiting Sydney :)

@@mademoisellejaime I’ll just be in Sydney for a day prior to boarding the Indian Pacific. Would love shopping recommendations. I’ve visited Sydney before and seen the top tourist sites.

Thank you so much, and I love this!!!

Sometimes it really comes down to personal preference. A tennis shoe I think looks great with a straight/wide leg pant that is a bit cropped - at least that's what my eye is drawn to (experimentation is key as so much of style comes down to taste)

Thank you so much!

Thank you! It's this one from Arket: c.klarna.com/al/AjO7/

You’re too kind thank you!!

I need to do this!!! On my list xx

Hi, are you referring to the cover photo or an item in the video (if so let me know the time stamp and I can share details) x

@@mademoisellejaime the cover photo

Hi! That's a cotton cardigan (this one: bit.ly/40iIZ71) in the color heather brown x

Yes 100%!

How was the Marlys jacket? It looks so gorgeous!

@@mademoisellejaime It has really lived up to my expectations, beautiful warm chestnut colour with antique brass fastenings, buttery soft leather, great shape. My only gripe is that the sleeves are a little long, but that's because I'm a short arse so not an issue for those longer of limb. I've worn it four times already!

RIGHT?! So glad to see a broader spread of items in 100% natural fibres

I'm 172cm tall x

Fair enough! :)

Yes that’s exactly what I was referring to in the video (there was a glitch so can’t remember if I had to edit out that bit once uploaded). It’s why I styled them with either mini or a longer jean. I love the silver so maybe a silver ballerina would be better for me 🥰

Thank you for watching! I haven’t done a review on them online as yet but I find them pretty comfortable. Though the heel is a little heavy?

Thank you! Are you planning to get anything?

HAHAHA this exactly! I knew even with my first order that by the Wednesday they would have something else I’d want to covet 😅🫣

Gorgeous! I've been admiring it ever since I saw it pop onto the website. I think I prefer the cut to their Will jacket. And the Quince one is fab! As an FYI the grey is quite cool toned - I really love this piece though. Very very soft!

@@mademoisellejaime I feel similar to you in that I don’t like Sézane knitwear in the mohair/kidhair blends. I love merino or cotton and so I’m drawn to any pieces they drop with this fabrication. The Emily lays beautifully.

Same! I saw someone say it’s a Walmart greeter vest but honestly they’re just jealous they couldn’t get their hands on it!

Very envious as it's GORGEOUS! Such a chic layering piece for A/W <3 I was definitely too slow with it

I really love that fabric so hoping to see it pop up in another style 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Thank you Marilyn! It’s funny as it reminds me a lot of what I would wear a decade ago so the shoe (and styling) feels nostalgic (but in a good way 🥰)

Oooh no looks like something glitched when I uploaded the video!

Very good point!!

Also thank you so much for flagging - it glitched in three places so I've edited these clips out so that the video watches a lot more smoothly :)

I actually noticed this glitch happening with your past 3-4 videos.

I have just gone back to check and it looks like there as a glitch with the Dyson video towards the end but can't see it in the previous ones. This seems to be happening when I'm uploading as the exported video on my hard drive is perfect. It's good to know this is an issue as I now know what to look for after a video is uploaded and can re-upload if needed so thank you for telling me! x
