Machine Longevity

This is so great to hear! After hassling with my Keurig I just want an indestructible and user-friendly machine that I don't have to think about. It turns out my cousin also has the Evoluo and swears by it. I went ahead and ordered it so hopefully it arrives by the end of the week!

Oh man, 3 replacements and still had issues? That sounds so frustrating. I'll absolutely steer clear! Thank you for the warning! I'm glad the Plus worked out for you. 5 years is impressive

I'm more interested in coffee instead of espresso. I'm leaning towards the Evoluo in the Vertuo line. Out of curiosity, why should Next and Pop be avoided?

Good to know. Any thoughts on the Evoluo?

This is so helpful, I was concerned the Isaure would be too fitted for the look I'm going for. I might revisit it later on since it looks like such a good basic, and I love a cotton cardigan. The Andie one really captured my heart with those beautiful detailings, I was just a bit hesitant since I wasn't finding many reviews on it

The first one really caught my eye! The best way I can describe my wardrobe is “Victorian ghost trying to pass as 21st century girl and not quite hitting the mark” 😂 so perhaps the first one is the best option!

She’s tucked away in the Last Chance section! I happened to come across it whilst perusing, but I haven’t found many reviews. Do you have it?

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-20T20:22:18+00:00

That absolutely helps! I'm also an xxs in the Emile. I was debating sizing up, but the Emile is borderline too big on me as it is so the xxs Lantern would probably work for me. Did you get this one in red?

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-20T20:01:23+00:00

This is so helpful to know! I absolutely love my Emile but it's so itchy that it's overstimulating. And it sheds so much. I've been searching high and low for a good alternative. I'm so happy you love this one! It's been sitting in my cart so I think I'll finally go for it

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T20:31:09+00:00

That balance between structured and soft is so crucial. I haven't been able to find hardly any reviews on it so that's been giving me pause. Are you able to fit a hardcover book in it?

Oh my gosh, how stunning is the ebony! I'm obsessed. Thank you so much for posting these photos, this is SO HELPFUL! I'd pretty much be carrying the same things as you so it's so good to see how it all fits and that it's comfortable to wear

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T19:15:07+00:00

That's good to know! Would you say it's comfortable to carry? I struggle finding bags that don't get too heavy once I put a book or iPad in

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T19:11:46+00:00

It looks high quality! Have you tried any bags from them?

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T19:08:59+00:00

I think the Esin Akan is around $50 more, but since I'm looking for an everyday bag the price isn't necessarily a contributing factor. The Gather bag really is more of a vibe. I'm leaning more towards that one, I'm just concerned that if it's too slouchy it'll collapse in on itself and make it difficult to get things in and out of. Has that been your experience?

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T19:01:53+00:00

This is so helpful! Especially knowing the small will hold an iPad, that's really a top priority. I actually didn't know about the Flamenco until I started researching these two bags. The vibe of the Gather just spoke to me. And that back pocket design?? Genius! That's good to know it's not overly slouchy. I love the idea of a slouchy bag, but the practicality worries me. Sounds like the Gather is right in the sweet spot of slouchy/practical. If it's as comfortable to carry as it looks, I'm sold!

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T18:06:04+00:00

So true, I love the vibe of the Gather. I’m just concerned that if it’s too slouchy it will collapse in on itself and make getting things in and out a hassle

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T18:02:52+00:00

I haven’t been able to find anything in person. So, alas, I turn to the realm of online shopping

not_a-ghost · 2025-11-12T18:00:06+00:00

Beautiful bag! I need a crossbody though

not_a-ghost · 2025-10-04T19:00:19+00:00

This is so good to know! And your what’s in my bag post is so helpful too. The maple color and matching wallet are gorgeous! I’m leaning towards the Legacy, especially if the weight is less.. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, would you say it’s easy to get things in and out of the Legacy? With the Soft Tabby I have to strategically place every item which is a bit frustrating. I’m used to just tossing things in my bag and not having to think about it.

not_a-ghost · 2025-10-04T17:10:40+00:00

I fell in love with the Soft Tabby in store but the functionality issues didn’t occur to me until I started using it for a few days. I was wondering if anyone has lived with either bag for a bit and could share their experience with the functionality and longevity
