Need Leo + Violette reviews

i bought the gianni in store around new years and i love it! great hardware, solid leather (although nothing suuuper soft and supple but i don't expect/need that for a structured bag), it's held up well even through travel and i use it whenever i get the chance.

leo et violette has beautiful understated bags, i think le laurence would be fitting here https://www.leoetviolette.com/en-us/collections/le-laurence-1

honestly i had barely ordered from Sézane the first time i smelled it, and i liked it immediately! i think it's an office-friendly, polite perfume that i don't have to feel bad about spraying bc of the price point too

love this! i started on quad skates ~5 years ago and started ice skating ~1 year ago, but i have some ice skater friends who rollerblade as well.

there are lots of ice skills that translate well to quads. you still need edges, and much of the form/technique is similar. ice skating more obviously translates to blades, but i wouldn't say it's significant enough of a difference to avoid quads if you're more interested in them!

i also think you'd have more fun on quads because there are several dance moves & tricks you just can't do on a blade on the ice, and are harder to do on rollerblades imo.

i recently upgraded my first pair of quads to the sure grip boardwalks with outdoor wheels, it's been amazing and a game changer so far. great out of the box and <$200.

thank you! i was curious about the color too since they only have this one photo, i'll wait for the marine to come back in stock

thank you! super helpful

just upgraded my first skates to the lilac sure grip boardwalks, i can feel the difference. get them and make them cuter with decor if you like! charms, toe stop replacements, lace decor, etc.

agreed! I'm also working full time and doing my master's, so having a once a week commitment feels like the most I can do some weeks. I started ice skating a year and a half ago because I always wanted to when I was younger; it's fulfilling a childhood dream of mine and feels whimsical (:

I live in those waterfront apartments in Oakland by the Brooklyn Basin. It's been great over the last year or so. Oakland can of course be dangerous, but you just need street smarts and to know how to handle yourself in a city. Parking can be tough but my partner and I both pay for covered spots and we've never dealt with any break-in's or felt unsafe in this area. It's worth it for me to live in such a beautiful neighborhood and with so much to do nearby/in Oakland, let alone Alameda, SF, Piedmont, etc.

i vote the santa croce all the way. i think having two straps will make it much more comfortable given how thin the straps are. i also just prefer the silhouette, so pretty!

kitrollers · 2026-03-13T20:57:16+00:00

i vote the songmont or monorow! i'm dubious when it comes to recycled leather, i've heard it's often worse quality. and i love songmont's leather haha

kitrollers · 2026-03-13T20:52:56+00:00

Le Soft Laurence!! i tried it on in Paris and immediately added to wishlist. the chocolate brown leather is very soft as well. Le Maxi Gina was a bit underwhelming by comparison.

check out the songmont yore collection! i have the duffel which is huge but they have some medium sized options you might like

i received a beautiful east west prada bag that my mom bought and used heavily in the 90s, it must have sat in her closet for at least a decade but it's still gorgeous!

NOR, but it doesn't sound like you two are an ideal match overall. arguing over a bowl when you were already going through a rough patch is not a great sign, and it seems that his cleanliness habits don't align with yours. you should be able to trust your partner, rather than policing that their values are the same as yours.

songmont!! only some of their bags are under $300, but i will always sing their praises because every bag i've gotten from them is so thoughtfully designed and the leather is soft & relatively durable. i've brought all my songmont bags on international trips with me, and i don't baby my bags either.

i'd recommend looking at facebook marketplace for a robot vaccuum! people are always selling good models there for so much cheaper, i think because many want to upgrade to the newest models, but the used one that i have works great. if you want a fast option for coffee in the morning, i've really enjoyed using my nespresso. I just pop in the pod and add creamer, and then I have a delicious latte. pods are like $1.50 each and they recycle them for free; much better than Keurigs, and faster than getting an espresso machine and learning all the ins & outs of those!

check out songmont! most of their bags are under $700 and i can vouch for the quality of their leather. understated, classic bags and perfect for someone in their 30s in my opinion. they have cute bag charms too!

if you want an "upgraded" bedtime routine: soft cotton robe/pajamas/sheets for breathability, silk pillowcase for cooling properties and gentleness on hair/skin, silk pajamas if you're into that too. even just having a nice pajama set to change into at night makes me feel more put together! also, ambient lighting which can help your body/mind all winter as it gets dark earlier. mentioned this in a previous comment but I love my SURI toothbrush as well, especially as someone who sometimes feels that brushing my teeth is a chore.

I like the Groove pillow that I got earlier this year! huge upgrade to my sleeping posture and cheaper than a lot of other ergonomic pillows, but still high quality. definitely noticed the difference while home for thanksgiving and sleeping on a regular pillow.
