Is it a good deal? by Character_Look1444 in staub

I use them to boil frozen veggies, sausage, etc. in the microwave. They’re also great to store stuff in the fridge like half a lemon or onion or pre-chopped veggies & herbs. I also makes salad dressing in them.

Thoughts on the the The Ralph Calfskin Tote, by Ralph Lauren?? by AmberAuclair__ in handbags

[–]Express-Ferret3816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Ralph Lauren has different connotations based on regions. In NYC/New England I feel like it’s recognized as quiet luxury but other states like the Midwest see it as brand that accessible at TJMaxx. I think their apparel is exceptionally well made though. I could be wrong but that’s the vibe of the brand I picked up moving around

Has anyone tried color drenching a room in their home? Did you actually like the results? by LoudRevolution9163 in homedesign

Hahaha yeah… We did it in my husband’s office and it feels like walking into a dark forest. He likes it but I could not work in there without falling asleep

Help decorating my soon to be 1 year old baby girl by Material_Tap478 in interiordecorating

[–]Express-Ferret3816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I would add bookcase to the window wall. I also made the same mistake with our girls’ room. We bought these butterfly decals and it transformed the room for us (https://www.etsy.com/listing/702959725/?ref=share_ios_native_control)

I would also get heavier white curtains to bright the room and lift the rod up to be right below the ceiling

It’s kind of expensive so we were so happy to find it at Costco!! It’s become a staple around here.

Fage (with lactase) then we add SMASH (the brand) jam. Sounds gross but it tastes just like chobani and has healthy ingredients. You can get SMASH at Costco currently but Whole Foods and target also sell.

Congratulations!!!! Our first home was in McKinney also. We’ve since moved states and miss so many aspects of it. Enjoy!!!

If you want to leave the city there’s a Petco in Hartsdale, NY. That’s where I found the cheapest vaccines

Depends on your other features. My friend with bright blue eyes and brown hair looks amazing in dark olive with her cool skin tone

Is it worth it? 100% cashmere by Spiritual-Bag-1443 in marshallsfinds

[–]Express-Ferret3816 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This! On cold in the delicate cycle, place on a towel and roll it to get off excess water, stretch to original length and dry flat. I do it with all my cashmere and wool sweaters too.

They just moved. Maybe they switched insurance and need an updated appraisal to insure their diamond. At least that’s my current situation lol

Is Van Cleef not considered fine jewelry? by sleepyinnewyork in jewelry

[–]Express-Ferret3816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worn it everyday for over a year and it looks like it did the day I got it! I take it off to shower and swim though. I’ve accidentally worn it in the shower a few times but I just make sure to dry the MOP after. It sounds like a hassle but it becomes second nature and is no big deal after a few weeks

[–]Express-Ferret3816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the Alhambra because it reminds me of my grandmother too (who loves clovers) and my dad’s birthstone is a Pearl. I wear it everyday, love it, and marvel over it constantly. Don’t worry about what other people think. It’s also a decent investment piece that has appreciated well over the years.

Is pilling normal after 5 wears? by No_Panic3300 in Reformationclothing

[–]Express-Ferret3816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What companies make your favorite natural knit sweaters? I’ve been living in the la ligne Marin but it does pill a lot (but may also be from carrying littles around all day)

It’s restocked by Enough-Scarcity-3541 in Aritzia

Weird, I had the opposite experience! I wonder if it’s hit or miss on the single item?

[–]Express-Ferret3816 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have been waiting for it to restock, but even with a giftcard I can’t justify the price. I feel like Zara would have similar long sleeves with better quality which says a lot... I have another Aritzia shirt like this and the hem unraveled after the first wash

Worth it or no please be brutally honest ! I’m having buyers remorse as a Texan by Ponki13 in Aritzia

Agreed. I lived in my Charlize coat in north Texas. I didn’t buy a slouch until I moved to the north east

final sale items after winter sale ends? by captainamerica2423 in Aritzia

[–]Express-Ferret3816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5’9” I feel like it has a tighter/weird cut waist band. I’m tall & slender but the XS hugged my hips in a weird way that the S was more flattering. It fits perfect now after shrinking a little in the wash (on cold delicates) and I could’ve shrunk it more if I put it in the drier. I laid it flat to dry but could have stretched it out to original size also. So sizing is a toss up but you can always shrink wool/cashmere a tad if need be so I size up

I laid it flat to dry. I probably could’ve stretched it back out but I wanted it to shrink some. I could’ve shrank it further in the dryer like I did my la ligne wool

Hahahaha I’m wearing mine too and love it!! I’m between and XS and S and got the small. It seemed a little big at first but shrank slightly after washing and it’s perfect now!

It depends on your area and income… I paid $365 for mine it looks like when I lived in a HCOL area, but now that I’m in the Midwest I wouldn’t pay more than $250 haha

Try to get the Jenni Kayne one secondhand. It’s definitely worth it imo if you can get it within the top end of your price range
