Didn't win me over
This pair is just meh. It fits true to size for designer denim, but it wasn't very flattering on me. In fact it made my legs look chunkier than all my other pairs of jeans, including my humble Levis. For designer denim I expected much more. Also, the rise on this pair is quite high and I didn't feel comfortable in it. Maybe I'm too used to low-rise jeans (7.5 inches rise). Loved the broken-in look of this pair but sadly I'm going to have to return this.

Fleur't
Top Drawer Boy Shorts
a must-have for the lingerie drawer
I am a size 0/2 and since there was no size XS on Shopbop, I took the S/M. At first I was worried that these knickers might be too big or loose, but in fact they are just right. They skim nicely and the elastic band doesn't cut in at all. Supremely comfortable, stayed put on me all day, didn't ride up. Virtually seamless too, so perfect to wear with dresses. Not sure about paying full price for these (I got them with a discount code), but if they go on sale, stock up!

Beautiful, everyday necklace
Very happy with my purchase - this is one of the more classically simple and chic hamsa designs I've seen, and the little diamond in the centre gives it a special touch. The chain is a good length for me (there are two clasp rings so you can adjust the length), and the pendant is so lightweight you'll hardly notice you have anything on. Beautiful and delicate, great for everyday wear and layering.

Herve Leger
Cap Sleeve A Line Dress
Expected much more for this price
I wanted to love this dress so much! I bought it based on the glowing reviews on Shopbop, and this was to be my first Herve Leger. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I'm not sure if I should have gone down a size because I was not at all impressed by the dress's legendary "holding power" - it did nothing to hold me in around the stomach area and I didn't feel that it had any shaping power at all! It was just...tight. And not very well-fitting because the zipper and fabric at the back was bunching up around the small of my back. Perhaps if I'd gone one size smaller (and tighter) it would have negated this problem, but then I probably wouldn't have been able to breathe. Sadly, this dress is going back.

Splendid
Shirtdress
Easy breezy
This is the perfect easy, breezy summer dress. The material is lightweight, soft and breathable, so it's perfect for warmer months. You could also layer a cami and tights under it for cooler weather. I found it a tad on the short side, so I wear shorts underneath it, just in case! Can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this shirtdress, and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Great stocking stuffer
Got this for my nieces for X'mas, they all loved it. Wish I kept a set for myself too.

Carolina K
Chung Dress
Adorable dress
This is the cutest dress ever! Yes, it's expensive for a cotton dress, but the print is really unique and the colours bring a smile to my face immediately. The cut is adorable too - the fit and flare style will suit just about anyone and I love the puffed sleeve detailing. Having said that however, I found that the scoop neckline was much too low for me and I need to wear a bandeau under the dress to avoid indecent exposure. The bodice is also cut quite small, so anyone over a B cup will probably find it a tad uncomfortable. The waist seems to be cut a bit higher than normal too, so this dress probably won't be suitable for those with long torsos. It's made of 100% cotton and also lined with a light, airy cotton voile, which I'm very pleased about because it's so breathable and comfortable. Can see myself getting plenty of wear out of this dress in summer!

My second set
This is my second set of Stella McCartney's "Days of the week" knickers. I love that it comes in a boxed set which makes my lingerie drawer easy to organise. And I also appreciate that the knickers are made from natural, breathable fabrics like cotton and silk - can't stand the nylon and polyester underwear dominating the market now. Knocked off 1 star for the price of this set, which has gone up by around $20 since I bought my first set a few years ago.

Would have been 5 stars if...
I love shirt dresses, so when I saw this one in a dressier silk fabric, I had to have it. It certainly did not disappoint, because it fits beautifully and can easily take me from day to night. My main complaint with this is that it's lined with polyester. WHY???? why make the shell of the dress in such beautiful, luxurious silk, and then cheapen it all by lining it with a scratchy mesh polyester lining? It traps heat, doesn't feel good against the skin, and gets all clammy in warmer weather. NOT HAPPY about this at all. But I love everything else about the dress, so I may just have to take it to the tailor and spend a small fortune to have the lining removed. Also, just wanted to add that the tops of the sleeves near the shoulders seem to be running on the tighter side, so if you have muscular arms, be warned.

Stock up on these!
I got a pair of these to try, and when I first took them out of the packing they looked really huge and I didn't know if they would fit! But it turned out that they fit really well. I got the size S/M and I usually wear a US 0/2, jeans size 25 / 26. These boy short knickers are super comfortable and seamless under my dresses and yoga pants. They sit on my hips and fit just right, skimming over curves. No cutting into flesh anywhere. Plus, they stay put and don't ride up! I hope Shopbop stocks these in some solid basic colours like black and nude - I would stock up on these for sure.
