Gorgeous
Beautifully made with a substantial weight knit. I don't wear body-con but the pattern and colors on this dress made an exception out of me. I'm usually size S, 34.5" chest and hips. However, size S was ridiculously snug. I tried a size L and it's still very form-fitting and super comfortable.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected
Statement Piece
Fantastic, exactly as expected. I love the Archer series and all things G&B. It's bold but doesn't overwhelm your neck or your outfit. Love it!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Archer Visor Cuff
Tough yet Feminine
This is a cool bracelet. The strap is two colors of leather layered together hence the reddish/brown hue in the depiction; looks great and very unique. I love the Archer series and the hardware in this is a finer gauge with a narrow strap width so overall it's rather dainty for a leather/metal bracelet. I love it, and I'm a huge fan of G&B!

Tried, Wanted to Love
This is over-sized but fits strangely. The zippers are higher than where your shoulders/arms flex and you can see how it grabs under the arms. I tried two sizes but both times those cold zippers just kept pinching my underarms yet had a ballooned fit overall. Maybe it's made for the not-busty and narrow-shouldered? The cut under the arms was bizarre and nothing like any T by Wang top I've owned.

Just Wow
T by Wang totally ups the cool factor with this design. It's edgy but not alienating with the mesh panels and seam details. Even though it's casual tee material it might have to be my go-to LBD. T by Wang is inconsistently sized so I'm either a S or XS. My hips are .5" more than the model's but I went with the XS for a trimmer profile and still it barely skims my hips. I cannot wait to wear this!

What happened?
I've never tried an item so different than as modeled. I have three skinny jeans from C/E so I know and love the fit. These are stove-pipe straight on me, chunky looking--not slim or fitted all the way down as shown or even like my other C/E skinnies. The fabric is much heavier and stiffer than it looks, with minimal stretch. The color has darker than expected. It almost seems I received a different jean than shown. My hunt for the perfect red skinny continues.

Pop! Cropped Jacket
Nice Surprise
Total impulse buy; it looked so good modeled I couldn't help myself. The color is perfect and just as shown. It's a stretchy fabric, it's soft, I like the details and it fits great. Score.

Short Sleeve Shift Dress
Streamlined
Thanks to the reviews I got an XS instead of a S and it grabs me under the arms more than I'd like but the profile is great. I'm usually a S, chest 34.5. If you want a more slimming profile size down, but the dress seems meant to be pretty straight and not as shapely as shown. The hemline is adorable.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
Baby Doll
The cut of this top falls away from the body and the fabric doesn't quite drape enough to outline the body. I usually wear a S or XS in this line, one of my favorite designers. If you have boobs you could look either really busty or kinda preggers. The aubergine color and soft fabric themselves looked and felt great though.

Medal Jacket
Better Than Expected
Finally, a puffer jacket that doesn't make me look fat! Though normally I get the size as modeled the look was too roomy so I got the XS and I'm glad I did. While the bulkiest sweaters won't fit under it, the look is trim and clean and I love it. I've gotten two items from State & Lake (a messenger bag and this) and impressed by the quality and price point both times.
