Frye
Engineer Boots
Good, solid boots
I have six pairs of Frye boots, and love all of them. I've owned this pair for years, and can say that they're exceptionally well-made - these Engineer boots have been worn so much they've been re-soled twice, and the Gaucho leather only gets better with age. They are heavy, as others have stated, but any solid work boots are going to be heavy. I took off one star because these boots aren't quite as comfortable as the shorter version of these boots, which I also own. I find myself reaching for those more often because they come up to a more comfortable place on my calves (I'm 5'6" and don't have very long legs). Others who are short-ish might want to consider the 8Rs.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
Don't wear well
The jeans fit well and the wash is great, though the rise in the petite jeans seems to cause me more problems with gaping in the back and showing my underwear than the regular ones do. Unfortunately, the denim isn't the greatest quality, and I've worn holes through not one but TWO pairs of them much too quickly. I've never had problems with any of the Seven bootcut jeans I've owned - perhaps the denim for the Dojos is thinner?

J Brand
Kiki High Rise Flare Jeans
Best denim ever
I own three pairs of the Kikis, in no small part because the fit is amazing and j brand really does make the highest quality jeans I've worn. I have a longer waist, so high waisted pants are often uncomfortable, but these don't dig into my hips and aren't too tight in the crotch. The wash on these is great, though a bit lighter than it looks in the picture, and the whiskering on the hips is less noticeable. They do run large, so I sized down. I'm also 5'6", so I had to have them taken up substantially (about 4"), but they didn't lose too much of the flare.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
Cute print, poor fit
The print is great on this dress - not as overwhelmingly cutesy as it looks like it might be. Unfortunately, the fit was just funky. It was baggy in all the wrong places.

Best high-waist bells out there!
These jeans are perfection! Based on other reviews, I took a size smaller than i usually wear (a 25 instead of a 26) and they fit perfectly. For me, the rise is a bit higher than in the picture - they come up to just below my belly button, but they're SO flattering. I had to take them up substantially, but there's still a nice bell at the bottom, even with 4 inches taken off.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
Cheap-looking
I have a number of DVF dresses, and was excited to see this one go on sale. Unfortunately, in person, the material looks and feels cheap and the gold buttons on the front didn't help any. The fit was also weird, and it pulled across my bust and was too large on the bottom (I've never had this problem with any other DVF dress. . . ). It just wasn't flattering, so back it went.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Ray-Ban
Cats 1000 Sunglasses
New favorites!
These glasses fit well and are very comfortable - they don't slip off of my nose or hit my cheeks. The brown pair is very wearable and they have replaced my Wayfarers as my go-to sunglasses.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected
fun!
These bracelets are a lot of fun. Though other reviewers have noted that they run small, I have fairly large wrists and haven't had a problem with them being too tight. They're smaller than drugstore silly bandz, but not so small that they leave marks on your wrists. They're also sturdier than I would have expected.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
The Western Shirt
runs large
This shirt is really cute and appears to be well made, but it runs HUGE, even for something that is supposed to have a more generous fit. I was swimming in the small (my usual size - and I'm even fairly busty) and couldn't fathom that an extra small would fit, either.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Club Monaco
Spirit Dangle Earrings
lightweight
These earrings are really cute - long and sparkly, but not at all heavy like many statement earrings are.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
