Cahoot Platform Pumps
FINALLY.
Thank god I can finally end my nude shoe search. These are adorable. The color is beautiful, the height is perfect and they are comfortable. There is actually a little cushion at the foot bed that unlike Pour La Victoires does not make the shoe tighter. I own LAMB glam platforms and those are painful but these are way, way more comfortable. I agree with others that there is a slight quality issue with the leather but it didn't seem nearly as bad of an issue on the pair I received. I thought the abstract platform would look weird but it doesn't. Shopbop also agreed to credit me because I bought the shoe right before it went on sale which was amazing. Overall I am very happy with this shoe!

It is what it is
I have very small wrists and this fits well so long as I use the second snaps. It looks exactly as it appears in the picture and there isn't much else to say about it! It's a good, durable leather. The only negative is that it reeks of leather when you first get it but that's how you know it's real! Color is as pictured and it's exactly 3 inches in length. Excellent boho accessory.

Tory Burch
Eddie Ballet Flats
Comfortable Classic
I bought these at a local store in the North End and they are incredibly comfortable. I'm a true size 7 and these are a little snug but I imagine they end up stretching out a bit so I didn't size up. The leather is really nice quality and the color is true to the picture. My only qualm with these is they are made out of lamb leather and I didn't realize that till I'd already taken them home.

Beautiful, but too big
The color is definitely a light pink and the material is very light weight, semi-sheer silk. This would be a really beautiful shirt but it was just too big for my frame (5'1 96 pounds). The sleeves were very long on me and the v was too deep to be work appropriate (and a cami would ruin the look). On a non-petite person this would look great, just not for me!

Toe Cleavage.
Sigh. I really want nude shoes but these didn't work at all for me. I am always a 7 and these were a little too big (enough for my heel to slip out) which leads me to believe that the 6.5 would be too small (always happens, also with Bakers shoes). My biggest qualm with these is probably the hidden platform. My intention was to wear these to work and the hidden part makes it look slightly slutty/overwhelming, especially for a small frame. The vamp is also cut pretty low so it gives you toe cleavage. These are pretty comfortable and don't cut into the foot, but at the same time they make your foot sweat a lot. To be honest, I may have kept these if they were not too big but I am not keeping a shoe made in China for $235 that I don't love 100%. If you're more average-sized these will probably be better, but I'd order a half a size smaller than usual.

Siwy
Hannah Slim Ankle Jeans
Fabulous.
Um these are fantastic...I ordered them off of PiperLime because Shopbop ran out of 24s. I've been looking for white jeans forever and I finallyyyy found them. I tried the JBrand power stretch and hated them, they don't even compare to these. These are really comfortable and the material feels almost velvety. The length is perfect (normal for us shorties) and they are form fitting but loose enough to be comfortable. The back pockets are flattering but I do wish the rise in the back wasn't as high (I know Michelle designs her jeans on purpose this way). You can roll them up or wear them down, they are cute either way. I hear Siwy runs small but they fit me TTS (I'm 5'1 96 lbs). Until I can replenish my bank account I'm going to keep dreaming of owning more Siwys!

Parker
Batwing Top
Elegant, Excellent Quality
I cannot understand why more people have not bought this top! The color is much more vibrant than pictured and is closer to a more red version of magenta. The material is very sheer but you can just get away with wearing a nude strapless bra underneath it. Although I'm very petite (5'1 96 lbs), I have broad shoulders and the top is a bit wide and kind of slips off my shoulders a little bit. You definitely need to wear strapless with it, but for work if you put a sweater over it it's fine. Also, the tunic part is kind of deceiving because it just barely covers the butt. The silk is possibly even better quality than a Tucker blouse and much less expensive. Definitely a great item to have in my wardrobe!

Incredibly Flattering
I actually bought these at Free People but I feel the need to spread the word on Shopbop too. These pants are possibly the best invention ever. A lot of people say to size up but I advise not to because they stretch out a lot like most FP jeans. I'm 5'1 and about 96 pounds and the 24s fit perfectly. I actually bought the short length from the website which is just about perfect for wearing with my 5 inch wedges. FP usually makes pants incredibly long and these actually run even longer, so be prepared to tailor. Don't be discouraged by no front pockets or button and fly, they look even better than actual jeans. Everyone should own a pair!

Eloise Dress
Flattering and a beautiful color
I received this in a size 0 for my birthday. I'm 5'1 and tend to vary between 96-100 pounds. It fits great, but agreed with the other reviewer, you need to wear it with a belt or it looks terrible. I was expecting that, however, because most of my dresses are that way, especially in silk. The belt it comes with is fine, but you could substitute another one too. The color/pattern is really beautiful and true to the picture. The only downside is that the dress is very thin, not always good if you live in climates like mine! Another con is that the static cling gets intense on this one. Otherwise, beautiful dress.

Awkward, poor quality
I got this sweater for my birthday as I'd asked for it in the XS Ecru. There is nothing wrong with the color (expected off-white) but it is really unflattering. It hangs awkwardly and the material feels and looks incredibly cheap. Compared to other sweaters I've bought recently it's bottom of the barrel, returning it.
