Perfectionism is often seen as a flaw—but it sharpens certain strengths: observation, analysis, and strategy. Like many perfectionists, I’ve spent years learning to manage its downsides while putting those skills to good use.Most people research before they buy—especially when the stakes are high—but often find the process overwhelming. The fear of making the wrong choice leads to hesitation or frustration.For me, research is instinct. I live it. My background—across France, the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong—has shaped how I evaluate products and ideas. Each culture solves problems differently. I pay attention to those details.When I notice a pain point, I ask: What would the ideal solution look like? Who’s doing it best? Then I go deep. I test, compare, and refine. The result? A shortlist of what truly works.
The Find
Each post features The pick—not because it’s the only one, but because it’s the best I’ve found so far. I’m always watching for something better.
The Goal
To share products and services that stand out for:
Quality — thoughtfully made and built to last
Design — beautiful and functional
Ease — intuitive, helpful, and a pleasure to use
Luxury branding doesn’t impress me. Value does. A pick makes it into Anne Selects only if it beats the competition in design, performance, or price.I also consider the ethos behind what I feature: Does the brand care about longevity? Sustainability? Integrity?
What to Expect
A monthly curation of exceptional finds—each chosen to improve your daily life in small but meaningful ways.
Welcome to Anne Selects—where excellence is curated, and nothing is random.”
