Sunkissed Bandeau Bikini Top
Flasher!
I don't think it's possible to get the knot tight enough in the front (which is all that keeps the bandeau closed) where I would feel secure that I would not be a flasher. And I don't have large breasts.

Cleobella
Sirena Raffia Tote
Prohibitively large
In the quest for a great beach bag to use at the pool this summer and on a planned vacation to Indonesia, I stalked this bag for quite awhile and was sadly disappointed when it arrived. Although I always check the model-bag comparison thing here on Shopbop, this bag was HUGE. While that may not be a problem for more structured bags, because the bag is made of raffia, putting stuff inside the large bag only caused it to droop and hang. The quest for the perfect beach bag continues.

Rolled Boyfriend Pants
Such versatile pants!
LOVE these pants. Color is true to what's shown--a dove grey. I found the pants to fit true to size (not baggy - but I have a bigger bottom half) and they did stretch a bit throughout the day (although not too much to make them too baggy). They look great rolled up and down, with heels and flats. I've already worn them to the office and an after-work happy hour and they were great for both occasions. Planning on getting a lot of traction out of these!

Brochu Walker
Draped V Neck Top
Better in theory...
Really wanted to like this top and thought I could wear it a lot but had to return. I followed some of the reviews above and ordered a size down (small instead of medium) and I found the arms to be a tad tight and the seams to not stay in their proper spot. The arms quickly stretched out, however, but that did not make up for the fact that the top really is just shapeless and hangs. I felt like it had floated away from my back and was just kind of hanging there, particularly. Odd. Also, the neckline is not the most flattering - I feel like the vneck should be lower. While the wrap detail is nice and different it's not worth it, in my opinion, for the shapeless mess of a top.

Theodora & Callum
Bali Fringe Scarf
Great Scarf! Love it!
Ordered it in orange - the color is a bit more dark orange than pictured, but is still lovely in person. The thing that sets the scarf apart from the myriad others, however, is the quality. The fabric is very soft and pliable and the size of the scarf lends itself to countless wrapping opportunities. A great way to jazz up a plain tee.

Wide Leg Pants
SO adorable, but two problems....
Oh I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted these pants to work, but sadly they will be returned. Fabric is great - very soft with a subtle sheen. Perfectly on trend for the 70's trend for this spring. BUT..two main problems. As highlighted in another review the waist is VERY small. It seems the pants are designed to hit slightly lower than the belly button, however, the size of the waist is really more akin with a high waist style - if only there was another inch it'd work. Also, the rise on front and back is very short - if the pants ride up it was unflattering between the legs on me - front and back. Three stars because the style is great and will work on those with very narrow waists and the quality is clear. Minus a star for each of the flaws.

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent
Barton Flat Sandals
I really wanted to like these, but...
I had stalked these sandals online for quite some time and was really excited to get them in the mail, but then I tried them on. The larger strap at the front is somewhat awkward - it seemed to be a bit tighter than expected on my foot. Overall the design made my feet look wider - not a good look. I ordinarily love Cynthia Vincent's shoes, but was just not a fan this time.

McCartney Braided Thong Sandals
Great sandals
Bought in the white color - really great sandal for spring. I feel like I could dress it up or dress it down. Fit is true to size - ordered my usual and had no side or back foot overhang. I've found in some zip back sandals that there's some ankle chafing going on - have not experienced that with these. Great buy - I think I'll get a lot of wear out of these.

Sari Dress
Great dress for spring!
Got the dress in the natural color and it is the PERFECT spring dress! The colors of the flowers are much more vibrant in person than they appear on the images. The only negative about the dress is it is quite see-through at the bottom - nothing a half slip won't cure though. Also, you cannot tell in the photos but there is a front and back snap. Snapped up and it's good for day, but unsnapped looks cute for a night look/date. Even without the snap it's not too low cut!

Paige Denim
Jadyn Pants
Not for Me...
I was SOOOO excited for these pants to come back into stock, but sadly they just did not work for me :(. I have a smaller waist and larger butt/hips/thighs and have often had problems with the sizing of Paige. These pants were similar in my experience - the waist was much too big for the thighs and it just looked off on me. Sizing up only made the situation worse. Be warned if you have the same body type!
