What I've Been Eyeing Lately on The RealReal

Hi there, I’m a TRR addict and spend so much time on there (I always love the hunt!) and I just thought I’d put together a little list of things I’ve been eyeing lately! And nope this post isn’t sponsored (though tbh I definitely wouldn’t mind TRR sponsorship lol). Also I hope this exercise would help me see if I still love these items in the future (sort of like my What I Want/Bought posts). And if a reader also snags a good deal out of it, all the better.

Ulla Johnson top ($145): Still obsessed with puff sleeves and Ulla Johnson.

If this later qualifies for their usual 20% off (code: Real), I might just get it.

Lemaire Cashmere Cardigan ($116 with code REAL)

Lemaire has been a brand I’ve been wanting to try out. Christophe Lemaire used to be the womenswear designer at Hermes and I’ve always loved his minimal luxury looks. You can learn more about the brand here. You can find some really affordable Lemaire items on TRR and this one is pretty good for a 100% cashmere sweater.

Frame Le High Straight Jean ($52 with code REAL)

I have a Frame denim review coming up, but I only wear Frame jeans lately. And this Le High Straight is my current favorite. I have it in a medium blue color, but this black pair is simple yet chic.

Frame Le High Straight Jean ($40 with code REAL)

Same jeans but in a dark wash. Still awesome.

Mansur Gavriel Cloud Clutch ($495)

Ok so I don’t think I would actually buy this because I have no space in my life for a clutch. But I occasionally dream unrealistically about the Bottega Pouch and this MG version is about $2000 less so there’s that lol.

Jenni Kayne Silk top ($35)

And just to add some color to this line-up, this pink 100% silk sleeveless top is the perfect girly top for spring. I might get this once my credit from selling comes through (and as long as no one beats me to the punch, but if you do I understand—it’s a great deal lol).

Band of Outsiders Dress ($40 with code REAL)

I never could afford Band of Outsiders when they were still around (this brand is no longer producing clothes, at least not under the original team). But I love stalking TRR for their old pieces. This 100% silk dress is the perfect Cali summer dress.
