Jennifer Zeuner Jewelry
Mini Hamsa Diamond Necklace
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.

Saloni
Alexia Dress
Love this new label at Shopbop!
This dress is beautiful and versatile. The print is really unique, and the combination of colours is just lovely. The cut is universally flattering too, with a classic round neckline and a flirty, swingy tiered skirt. Easy to dress up or down - I can see myself wearing this with different accessories to work, out for a casual weekend meeting with girlfriends, or to a party, or even to a cocktail or an opening.
The dress does appear to run a size large though. I ordered the smallest size (UK 6), and I found the bodice and sleeves too loose on me (I am usually a UK size 6 or 8). Had to belt it for some definition, and I may just take it to the tailor to get it taken in a little for more shape. I also rolled up the sleeves like the model wearing the green dress for a more casual look and so that they wouldn't look so loose and 'floppy' on me.
I'm really glad Shopbop has started to carry Saloni, and I hope Shopbop continues to stock this label and its fabulous dresses!

Beau Dress
Lovely summer shirtdress!
Love this shirtdress to bits! I could tell from the pictures that it was going to be a loose fit, so I ordered my usual size XS (would have sized down if I could). Definitely going to wear this belted at the waist, and pair with summer sandals or wedges. The fabric has a lovely subtle pindot detail, and is deliciously soft and comfortable yet still 'crisp'. The ruffles at the collar and sleeve cuffs add a girly touch. Can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this one, possibly layering it over a camisole and leggings for cooler months. Wish it came in more colours and fabrics!

Kristi Blouse
cute and versatile silk blouse
I must say that I'm mad about silk blouses at the moment - they are so luxurious to wear and very versatile pieces! Can be dressed up for work, and dressed down for the weekend. I like to wear mine with the sleeves cuffed and with the shirt-ends knotted at the waist, paired with denim bottoms. Love the retro styling of this Kristi blouse with its pussybow and bracelet sleeves. I got it in Rosewood since the Navy was sold out in my size. No regrets! A very pretty blush-pink colour with a small turquoise print for a playful touch. I was looking for a silk blouse with a print, and this fit the bill perfectly. Knocked off one star because it's quite pricey compared to say, an Equipment shirt. Fit-wise, worth noting that this is cut quite blousy, but I do like it this way. Can see myself getting tons of wear out of this piece!

Paige Denim
Jimmy Jimmy Shorts
perfect denim shorts!
I bought this based on others' positive reviews and wasn't disappointed. I've been looking for the perfect pair of denim shorts for some time, and this may well be it! The denim is on the thinner side like other reviewers have noted, and it's soft and has quite a bit of give because of the 7% elasterell 1% spandex content. This is what gives this pair that easy, slouchy feel and they are incredibly comfortable! The wash is just right - a medium blue denim without excessive distressing. Sits low on the waist which helps to prevent 'muffin top'. Short legs are slightly flared, and I love shorts cut like this because it helps make your thighs look slimmer. Best part is that you can choose to cuff the short legs or leave them uncuffed depending on how much coverage you want.
I sized down based on reviews and the 25 was perfect. (I'm usually a 26 in other designer denim brands like Citizens and Seven.)
Look forward to this style coming in more washes in future!

J Brand
Petite 12" Pencil Jeans
Were my expectations too high?
I expected a lot from J Brand since everyone raves about these jeans, so when I got these and tried them on, I was a bit EH...
First of all, these do fit true to size. I ordered a 26, which is my normal size in other jeans. The waist stretches out really fast - it seems the waistband is a tad large for a 26 compared to my other jeans. Happily, this prevents that awful muffin top syndrome. But it also meant I kept having to hike up my jeans ever so often. Felt a bit tight around the knees and didn't stretch out so fast in that area, so not as comfy as my other jeans in that respect. The wash is fantastic. Dark blue, with hardly any whiskering or fading, so it makes for a very dressy pair of jeans. Denim fabric feels thinner compared to my other jeans.
My major complaint? The length of these jeans!! I ordered the petite (I'm 5' 3") but these were still way too long and require quite a bit of hemming.

Cassette Society
Neo Stripe Mini Dress
A keeper!
Like the other reviewers have pointed out, this is way too short to be worn as a dress. Cute with shorts peeking out from underneath in summer, or with black tights and boots in fall. Love the unique print and cut. Very flattering neckline too!
