Hi! I enjoy sharing things I love with you all, but I never want to pressure you into buying something you don’t need or want. But if you’re already in the market for any of the following items, it would mean a lot if you could use my link/codes! You’ll see an asterisk (*) next to the brands that offer me a bit of commission per purchase I drive. I don’t usually make much money from affiliate links, but they are a great way for brands to track my “performance” as a creator and to determine whether I’m worth partnering with. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of these brands or products. Thank you so so much!

NEIWAI*: KS15 for 15% off
The most comfy undergarments and loungewear I’ve ever worn. Not lying when I say that their bra changed my life and dragged me out of my mega anti-bra era. I cannot wait to try more of their pajamas and loungewear because they’re so comfy and SUCH an upgrade from my old high school club shirts hehe

My faves: Barely Zero Spaghetti Strap Bra, Plushy Pajama Top + Pants (size S), Barely Zero Biker Shorts, Breeze Light Sun Block Jacket + Drawstring Shorts (XS), Urban Sports Casual Pants (size S), Mousse Light Support Long Sports Bra (size S), Mousse Light Support High Waist Leggings (size XS), Women’s Socks (3 pack), Ballet Drawstring Joggers (XS)

Pepper*: KATRINAY for 10% off
Bras made for flat and fabulous gals like me :’) While NEIWAI’s stretchy band is what made me fall in love, I knew full well that my 32-34AA(?) boobs weren’t filling their cups (but I don’t care because they’re so comfy). Pepper bras were the first time I saw cleavage, felt sexy, and experienced no gapping in a bra! I also really love are their undies which are SO underrated.. I fell in love with the Everywear undies when they gifted it to me and bought 4 more pairs! I’ve also only had extremely positive experiences working with the Pepper team; I truly appreciate them, their mission, and their products.

The Curated*: Affiliate link
Wow, this is a dream come true. In 2020, I was on the hunt for the perfect camel coat to add to my wardrobe. When I found The Curated’s Classic Coat, it checked all the boxes. Petite-friendly, minimal and classy, from a conscious/honest/responsible Asian woman-owned business, more affordable than others (it was $350 or $375 when I purchased it - they’ve raised the price a couple of times since then, but are very transparent about why/when they do), and it was exactly the style and fit I was looking for! I spent so long deciding what size to get—I joined their Facebook community group, DMed them on IG, emailed customer service—and finally ordered the coat in Camel in XXS. It’s PERFECT and I never knew a coat could make me so happy :’) The biggest investment in my closet, but absolutely no regrets. I cannot believe that I am now an affiliate with them!!! I’ve been subconsciously saving up and waiting to buy their other pieces one day (coats, sweaters, bags!!) and now I’ve been gifted the beautiful Mini Shoulder Bag!
My faves: Classic Coat (Camel - XXS), Mini Shoulder Bag (Black)

Love, Bonito: LBXKATRINA for 10% off 2 or more pieces
I first learned about Love, Bonito a few years ago when I saw some of my fave style influencers wearing their pieces and in the days leading up to our Singapore trip, I decided to just shoot my shot and sent them an email.. and the next thing I knew, I was meeting with their team 🥹 They invited me to their flagship store to choose a few pieces from their Signature collection and their team was the sweetest. When they say their clothes are intentionally designed with functionality in mind, they’re not kidding! Their pieces are machine washable, comfortable, have pockets, and so much more!! I was most impressed by the fit of the pieces because it can be really hard to find clothes that fit my petite body (which is why I’ve admired LB from afar for years but never made a purchase).. but so many of the pieces fit sooo well. I’m a huge fan!!
My reviews: IG highlight
My faves: Chloe Pants (size 24), Farah Dress (XXS), Sophia Top (XS), Maya Top (XXS), Divya Skirt (XXS), Cassia Top (S)

Linjer: KATRINASTACIE for discount
If you’re looking for beautiful minimalist jewelry, handbags, or watches from a sustainably-minded brand, Linjer is for you. While I love their products, my favorite thing about Linjer is definitely the humans behind the brand. From their Community Manager to their Co-Founders, they have been respectful, personable, and have really gone the extra mile to make me feel valued when working with them. My only qualm is that I wish their gold was cooler-toned rather than a warmer, yellow-gold.
My reviews: jewelry review, handbag review, holiday gift guide
My faves: Ilse Ring (size 4), Miriam Ring (size 5), Mini Jewelry Case

Plaine Products*: KATRINASTACIE for 20% off
Refillable, plastic-free personal care products that are vegan, cruelty-free, aloe-based and work for my sensitive skin. My favorite sustainable bathroom swaps… loved them so much that I now work for them :-) Plaine Products is my entire shower routine since late 2020: Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Body Lotion (mixed with Beauty Oil when I’m dry), Hair Repair, Deep Conditioner. My hair has never felt healthier and I truly think it’s because of these products. If you’re looking to reduce your plastic consumption, I think the bathroom is the easiest place to start.
My reviews: shower & after shower routine, how I style my hair, all my plaine products content
My faves: Unscented Shampoo, Unscented Conditioner, Deep Conditioner, Hair Repair, Hand Wash

MERIT Beauty*: Affiliate link
Pretty much my entire makeup routine. Not sure how I got on MERIT’s radar when they launched, but I’m so grateful. I LOVE their makeup. Simple, minimal, clean, and works for my dry skin!
My reviews: first-ish impressions and review, signature lipsticks review, holiday makeup, great skin serum review
My faves: Blush (Beverly Hills), Mascara, Lip Gloss (Au Naturale, Marrakech), Lipstick (Tiger, Millennial),
Great Skin Serum, Bronzer (Clay)

Krave Beauty*: Affiliate link
If there was one brand whose values I feel align best with my own, it’s Krave Beauty. They are incredibly intentional with everything from their products to their packaging to their marketing (I’ve got major heart eyes). They’re a staple in my skincare routine and I’ve repurchased their items multiple times. I’ve tried most of their products and have repurchased my favorites multiple times, and am trying out their moisturizer and makeup remover as well (so far, so good!).
My reviews: skincare empties
My faves: Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser, Great Body Relief, Great Barrier Relief (on my 3rd bottle of each)

Stratia*: KATRINASTACIE for 10% off
Another staple brand in my skincare routine. When I think of Stratia, I think of science-based, no-frills, effective skincare. I feel like Stratia and Krave are kind of interchangeble in my routine. I haven’t tried a product that I haven’t enjoyed from them. Skincare is difficult because I’m not entirely sure what each product does for my skin, but I do know when I don’t really like a product.
My reviews: skincare empties
My faves: Interface Moisturizer, Rewind Serum, Liquid Gold, Velvet Milk Cleanser (on my 3rd bottle of each)

Nordgreen*: KSTACIE for 15% off
Minimal watches that give back. With each order, you get to donate a portion of $ to a cause of your choice. Each watch comes with straps that are interchangeable, so you can mix and match. I personally have not switched my strap out because I am in love with the petite silver mesh strap look! I don’t wear watches as often when I’m working from home, but when I was teaching, it was a wardrobe essential (I always had to check the time)!
My reviews: fall lookbook, november recommendations, my favorite nordgreen watch
My faves: Native 28mm, White Dial, Silver, Silver Mesh Strap

MOFT*: KATRINA10 for 10% off
I know these are much more expensive than some random phone case on Amazon, but let me share how/why I got to MOFT. My last few phone cases (2019 - 2023) were from Pela Case, a sustainable and compostable phone case brand. Their products were also pricey… but every single one of them ripped at the charger area. It didn’t impact the case much, but I feel pretty annoyed when I pay more for products that are “good for the planet” and they end up being worse in quality and not sustainable in longevity. So when I got my new iPhone 15 Pro, I asked Ryan (who loves looking at tech accessories) for his thoughts and he introduced me to MOFT, a brand he’s been having heart eyes for. I bought their MagSafe case and tripod stand and was soo impressed with them! They’re high quality, durable, aesthetic, and are so compact and efficient. I dropped my phone and stepped on it (accidentally lol) and the case got scuffed, but the phone was still perfect! I didn’t think I’d use the tripod stand as much, but it’s SO handy for FaceTiming, watching videos, and recording / taking self-timer photos.

My faves: MagSafe phone case, Tripod Stand

LEAF Shave: KSTACIE for 10% off
To be honest, I’m pretty damn hairy for an East Asian gal. And it’s been one of my biggest insecurities growing up (and still). My aunts would always tell me not to shave my legs (they were blessed without body hair while I looked like a gorilla) because it “would grow back 10x darker.” In middle school, a guy shouted aloud that I had a mustache… everyone was laughing and I was mortified. After so many years of feeling self-conscious, I finally decided to invest in laser hair removal for my legs. I did 7 sessions so far and although there are still hairs, it’s much less than before and I can wear shorts and dresses without feeling flooded by insecurity and self-consciousness. I get a facial roughly every other month and she cleans my brows and mustache for me, but I’ve been wanting to try at-home dermaplaning (removing dead skin cells and face hair) for so long… and am finally doing it! p.s. This is why I love reading Laxmi’s Mooch with my students.. a beautiful children’s book that affirms body and facial hair on everyone (and so many of my students say they wish they read it as a kid—me too!)
My reviews: hair removal + dermaplaning journey
My faves: Dermaplaner Kit, Shave Oil

Tradlands: KSTACIE for 15% off
Tradlands is one of the first slow fashion brands I learned about. In 2020, I was on the hunt for the perfect knit cardigan and I happened to stumble upon someone wearing their Shelter Cardigan on Instagram. I bookmarked it and found myself constantly going back to it, but telling myself it was too expensive. When their Gift Card Sale finally came around, I decided to make the leap and it’s my favorite cardigan! Their clothes run really big and they’re a bit boxier in style, so not all of their pieces suit my body, preferences, etc. However, I absolutely love my favorites and wear them again and again!
My reviews: unboxing and first impressions, shelter cardigan, birdie dress , cottage crew, chalet dress
My faves: Shelter Cardigan (Sienna, XS), Nico Top (Meringue, XXS), Nico Dress (Caroline, XXS), Birdie Dress (Birch, XXS)
