Hi there! Doing a few quick reviews today. I was told to stop just naming all my posts just “quick review” as I guess it makes it more difficult to find specific items (I will continue to keep the “Weekend Update” naming, apologies – I lack imagination!). But anyway, I’ve long promised to add some more reviews of favorite purchases, so starting with a few today.
Quince Linen Sleeveless Swing dress, $60. Because my Quince slip dress review for some reason seems quite popular, I have amassed a good amount amount of credit with my referral code, which gives $20 off your first purchase (thank you so much for those who have used!). This is one of my favorite apparel items I’ve tried from Quince so far. I actually bought this last year in the last few warmer weeks and was happy to bring it out again this year. It’s high quality, has pockets (!), nice details, looks more $ than it is, and is so easy to throw on and go. I’ll probably get another color. A+.
Some sizing notes: I am 5’1, and so if you are taller and don’t want a shorter dress, I’d keep this in mind. I normally like to size up lately to have lots of room in the waist, but as this is an A-line shape I have an XS and it’s fine. I’ve washed and dried in the dryer and not experienced shrinkage (this is how it looks after multiple wash/dry cycles).
Shampoo Brush, $7-8. I bought this on a whim and honestly love it. I like any sort of brush which massages my head – I’ve bought a few from Daiso but they always fall apart after a while. I finally decided to get something a little more sturdy and found this on Amazon. It’s awesome and a treat to get a head massage every shower – also, since this helps lather, I realize I’m using less shampoo! Also, I read some reviews that say this brush is kind of harsh and tangles hair but I haven’t had that experience. I recently got a shorter (and disastrous) haircut so maybe that’s why I don’t have tangles – longer haired people might want to be careful!
Lost Cherry pocket spray, $80. Okay I only just realized that the name is a little cheeky but I like this scent! I recently was in person at a Nordstrom for the first time in …. a year? Longer? And decided to celebrate by trying out a fragrance. I found this and decided I “deserve” a nice cosmetic treat and so got it. I love cherry scents in general and this one definitely has strong cherry notes without smelling like a Bath and Body Works (though I still love BBW).
What are some of your recent favorite purchases?

May 22, 2023 at 1:00 pmOh it’s grown out some but it’s one of those where the stylist just went crazy with the layers and I looked like a giant mushroom head! I’ve had it in a ponytail for over a month running, lol 🙂

May 25, 2023 at 11:22 amI keep getting tempted by that dress! What is the wrinkle situation like? I’ve found that their linen shorts seem to wrinkle less easily than other brands, but I’m not sure if it’s the same with the dresses…

May 26, 2023 at 9:42 pmIt’s not so bad! I mean it does wrinkle but I feel it looks okay given the style of the dress, if that makes sense..

June 30, 2023 at 9:16 pmI think so! Did you try this? http://rwrd.io/BR6HMRW There will sometimes be a pop up over it but you will see it under for $20 off of $50 now (I think…). Good luck!

May 10, 2024 at 3:10 pmHi! I just bought this in white and black. Love them, but the white seems pretty sheer. What do you wear under?
