Sam Edelman
Sutton Wedge Sandals
Cute, comfy, li'l cheap looking
I love my Sam Edelman captoe loafers more than anything, and they look more expensive than they are, so I thought I'd try these. These don't have that luxe look - they're pretty basic, the leather and snake straps don't look expensive, and the wedge heel faux leather is a weird, cheap-looking taupe. that said - they are REALLY comfortable, they do look cute from a distance, and in the 20% off sale they were $100 which is at best what they are worth. I might try to dye the wedge to make them better-looking.
Sizing: I have a 6.5 in my Edelman loafers, so I knew to order a 6.5 in these- I am always between a 6 and a 6.5.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Paige Denim
Jimmy Jimmy Skinny Jeans with Rips
I wouldn't use the word
I used to wear Paige a lot and have since moved over to J Brand and Rag & Bone. I wanted more slouchy skinny jeans like the Rag & Bone Dash, and the Dash in white is sold out in a 23 everywhere, so I tried these.
1) They are NOT skinny jeans: they are more like a straight leg. They're not too wide to roll up, but they aren't narrow at the ankle when you do.
2) They are HUGE. I wear a 24 in most Paige for a snug fit. I am 5'2" and about 96 pounds. In a 23 these are enormous- not unwearable, but they have that "I lost a bunch of weight or borrowed my friend's jeans" look. One size smaller and they'd be perfect. I don't know yet if I'll return them or keep them as a weekend white jean and hope they shrink in the wash a bit.
3) On a positive note: reasonably soft, good quality white denim with no tacky show-through pockets or the like. They are also low-heels-length on (petite) me when unrolled, so tall girls should be careful of the length.

Rag & Bone
Floral Newbury Booties
Great boots for spring
I've never bought a pair of Newburys before, but I love these. The low boot seems pretty versatile: you can wear it with cuffed jeans or pants and probably with a sundress, or shorts if you can stomach the boots-with-shorts thing (I can't really). I got the blue floral, and sort of wish I had the yellow - but this again is more versatile, and nicely boho but classy at the same time. They're very comfortable; the footbed is a little padded and they're wearable all day in a normal day, although I tested them out at SXSW and they are a touch too much for miles of walking club to club.
Sizing: My usual size is 36 to 36.5. I have a pair of R&B convertible boots that are 37; I ordered the 37 and the 36.5 in the Newburys and stayed with the 36.5. I have room for all but the thickest socks. So I'd say R&B runs small but these are just about 1/4 size down.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Dash Slouchy Jeans
Super soft, super slouchy
I do love these jeans but they're not exactly what I expected. Rag & Bone tends to run slim and tight (maybe the jeans are different). I normally take a 23-24 in jeans and in the Rag & Bone main line I'd take a 24 or even a 25 (I'm 5'1" or so and about 96 pounds). I bought a 24 in these and they are VERY slouchy and relaxed. I would love to be able to go a size down and then I think it would be a sexy "slouchy skinny" fit, which is what I expected.
The pluses though: these are as soft as pajamas (I expected more of a denim feel - this is like denim you've owned for 15 years), the "graphic camo" print is fresh looking and doesn't look like plain old camo; the slouchiness is not so pronounced that it's overwhelming; and they are nicely slim at the ankles. Also, a Shopbop exclusive to get the Dash in this colour.
I would buy this cut again but would be SO happy if they made one size smaller!

Calvin Klein Underwear
Invisibles Thong
Does exactly what it says it will
Is invisible and really comfortable. I wish CK didn't have to splash everything with logos or I'd wear their undies more: I can't walk around feeling like Marky Mark.

Bop Basics
Tie Dye Hair Tie Set
Not assorted colors: two ugly colors
I use these types of hair ties a lot - they are cute and gentle on the hair, and you can jam 'em on your wrists as well. However, when I see "assorted colors", I think it means more than TWO colors. These are all identical purple and yellow, possible the two most unwearable colors ever. I should have returned these, and from now on will buy at my local beauty store, where I can choose the colors.

Joie
Rori Lace Dress
Pretty dress
Sweet lace LBD, very comfortable. I am a small 00 and the 0 is a little large on me, which is normal. I like the wide straps which allow you to wear a bra without showing, making the evening more comfortable - however I had to shorten the straps considerably (I am 5'2") to make the dress work.
My biggest caveat would be that I have only worn this dress 2-3 times and the lace is looking a little frayed around the edges. I think it's pretty delicate and doesn't take well to travel or being manhandled at the drycleaner!

LNA
Column Long Skirt
Nice maxi
Nice column skirt with a nice fall. I'd keep it if I did not already have the Ella Moss that is virtually identical, a bit more comfortable, and with a rollable waistband. The waist on this skirt is definitely small - the XS fits me, and my waist is about a 23.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Dash Slouchy Skinny Jeans
Soft, slouchy jeans
I bought the Dash in camo in a size 24 and loved them,even though they were too large; so when I saw this cut in denim in a 23 I jumped. The great thing about these jeans is that, although slouchy, they are very narrow at the ankle (the "skinny" bit), so they don't look messy, especially when rolled up. The 23 is still loose, but not crazily so, even though it strteches out all day; another size down would be a snug jean with maybe a tiny bit of give.
The wash is ok, a little too obviously "washed" for my taste, but nice and soft. The denim has some stretch, too.
I feel a bit self-conscious in these jeans as they are loose to baggy around the waist and hips, so I am afraid they look like "mom jeans", especially from behind. However, my husband loves them, so I am taking his word on that!

Sam Edelman
Aster Cap Toe Flats
LOVE the shoes - toe caps scratch easily
I love these and have gotten so many compliments on them. The snakeskin in black is subtle and the shape is just right - a loafer with a little substance. They are comfortable with just a little bit of wearing in needed at the heels. The cap toe isn't as shiny as I had feared & the overall effect is subtle. However, the cap toes did scratch on first wearing, pretty badly - the shoes still look good but you need to be OK with them not remaining perfect. I would still buy these again in another color (the gold looks too bright).
I am usually between a 6 and 6 1/2: took a 6 1/2 and they fit perfectly.
