I love "bling to my belly"
No, they are a little bit short on purpose. Maybe the Levi's site shows the inseam? As for other high-rise suggestions, I highly recommend their commuter line! They're great regardless of whether you bike commute-- high rise, nice heavy fabric.
OMG the availability of bibs. Even though I've found a few pairs that I like, I am so, so sick of seeing brand after brand that doesn't make women's bibs. I get that they think there's no/little market, but jesus christ give it a chance. ARGH.
Do you have shorts from wiggle? I recently ordered from them and was just really surprised by their size chart. I have never needed an XL in bike shorts, but it seemed like I needed UK 16 (their biggest size). So I can't help but wonder how accurate that size chart is.
It's really easy to find non-pinkwashed shorts these days! Most shorts are black and don't have random 'feminine' touches like a flower or ~swirl~ (god I hate you Pearl Izumi); it's the jerseys that can be a problem. You got some other great replies so I just wanted to throw in this-- Twin Six is a great indie bike company (the most affordable indie) that makes the exact same stuff for men & women. I don't mean unisex, I mean almost all their prints come in men's and women's jerseys. ETA: actually a ton of indie cycling clothing makers do this, but most are just soo expensive.
I liked it at first but LORDY was the middle too long. That's about it on my feelings. I was not blown away.
I'm in a similar position! I've been saying very neutral things (like "that's great :)") and biting my tongue HARD when my cycnicism wants to rear its ugly head.
If I was in their spot I would seriously have sex with ANYONE. It'd be about boredom, not desire.
Everything is good at Ikea!! I really like the textiles & it sounds like you will, too. I wouldn't say Ikea is a relationship-killer, but it can definitely be a fight-starter, especially if you are living with the person so you have to decide which curtains you like better, etc. (but sounds like this is not the case for you). I would say, eat a good meal before to prevent becoming hangry.
I'm tired and def read this as Kanye West.
