LOEWE NANO PUZZLE BAG | Review + How To Style
The Loewe Nano Puzzle bag launched earlier this year and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t feeling it at first. Wild coming from someone who loves Loewe bags and owns two Puzzle bags, right?
Well, that all changed when I decided to order it last month. I had just sold a few items from my closet and felt that it was time for a new bag - enter the Nano Puzzle.
Since getting the Nano, I haven’t stopped wearing it. The soft white calf leather goes well with my wardrobe and adds a nice pop to my outfits.
SHOP SMALL LOEWE BAGS
Even though the size is teeny tiny (approx. 5" length x 3.25" height x 2" width), it surprisingly fits a good amount of stuff. In my YouTube review on the Nano Puzzle, I showed that it fits a cardholder, hand sanitizer, hand cream, lipstick, and small perfume bottle comfortably. It doesn’t fit an iPhone or a pair of sunglasses because the bag isn’t wide enough - but I’m okay with that.
I should mention that for daily use I don't use my cardholder with the Nano. I just let my debit and credit cards roam free in the bag. This allows for more space to be freed up, and it’s easier to get things in and out.
SHOP WHITE BAGS UNDER $460
Overall, the Loewe Nano Puzzle bag has been a great addition to my closet. It’s a fun little bag to wear and the palladium chain adds a chic touch.

3 CHANEL Small Flap Outfit Ideas
Here the CHANEL small flap bag is worn with criss cross charcoal jeans, a black t-shirt, layered with a classic trench coat (H&M $120) and a striped knit sweater worn over the shoulders.
Think outside of the box and style your knit over the shoulders for a different look this spring.
This look is more contemporary and streamlined and is my take on streetwear. I paired a black hoodie, black leggings, and a pair of Chelsea-style rain boots with my trench coat for a casual look. The addition of the CHANEL bag elevates the outfit and suddenly it shifts from basic to chic.
This look is another take on streetwear. I paired leggings with an oversized button down shirt, a black blazer, and New Balance 990v5 sneakers. It’s the perfect pairing for a small CHANEL bag, don’t you think?

VIDEO: Armani Shade Expansion, Luminous Silk Foundation
I’ve been using Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundations for years, however, I’m between shades. (Admittedly I was wearing the wrong shade for well over a year but that’s a whole other topic.) With 10 new shades in their line up, it’s about time they expanded their foundation shades don’t you think? Better late than never!

VIDEO TUTORIAL: How To Paint Your Nails Perfectly At Home
I love doing my own nails and barely ever go to the salon to get them done. In this video I'll be sharing my tips (haha) and techniques on how I get the perfect manicure at home. Hope you enjoy this video and stay safe! Nathalie

At Home Manicure: How to Paint Your Nails At Home Like A Pro
Before you start, remove any old polish
If you’re starting with bare nails, like me, wash your hands first to remove any oils that might be on your hands as this could compromise not only how your nail polish goes on, but also the lifespan of your manicure.
I like the length of my nails right now so I’m just going to quickly clean up the shape by trimming them into a soft oval shape as it compliments my fingers best.
Taking my nail file, I’m going to lightly buff anyway any dead skin from around my cuticles.
Using the point of metal file, I’m going to gently lift hand hangnails and file them away - only using the clippers if I really need it. They scare me so I try to stay away.
Next I’m going to condition my cuticles using some cuticle oil while avoiding the nails. Remember - the oil can impact the quality and lifespan of your manicure so avoid your nails. Take a Q Tip with a bit of nail polish remover to get rid of any oil that might have transferred to your nails.
Now I’m going to use a base coat to help the polish go on better to prevent chipping (if you’re short on time, feel free to skip this step).
When applying your polish, start in the centre, just a touch below the cuticle and pull the colour down with the brush. Do the same on each side of the nail.
To avoid brush stokes, try not to pass the brush through the nails too many times.
Have your wooden orange stick nearby to clean up the edges.
Every nail polish colour is different so it’s up to you whether to apply 2-3 coats.
Finish your manicure with a top coat to help it last longer.
The best nail hack you need to know and it’s FREE!
Now I’m going to quick dry my nails using this hack I learned about on youtube by adding add a few ice cubes to a bowl and filling it with just enough water so I can dip all of my nails comfortably in the bowl.
Now I’ll dip my nails in for 3-5 minutes, only taking my hands out when I need a break from the freezing cold water. But that’s it. It really works and sets my polish way better than those quick dry sprays and it’s free! Trust me, if you’re like me and like to do your nails at home, this is the only hack you need to know!
Now that my nails are done, I’ll moisturize my hands, avoiding my nails for the time being. And that’s it. Done. Hope you enjoy my technique of how to get the perfect nails at home!
