Ehhh...
This item does run quite large. I ordered it in my usual size, and I was swimming in it. Although it's clear from the picture that it is supposed to be loose, the look in person was untailored and unflattering. I contemplated exchanging it for a smaller size, but in the end I just returned it because I didn't feel that it would be that great of an addition to my wardrobe for the price.

Denim Midi Shorts
Awesome shorts!
I immediately fell in love with these shorts- and they are an awesome value compared to other designer shorts. They are a good color and quality, with enough thickness to not be see-through and enough stretch to fit well. I particularly enjoy that the hem is unfinished and you can adjust the length of the shorts according to your comfort level and the look you are going for. I usually find myself to be between sizes 28-29 in designer denim, and I went with a 29 in these. They fit perfectly over my thighs and butt (which are my, ehm, curviest assets) but there's still a little room in the waist. I feel that if I sized down though, they would have been a little more scandalous in the other areas. Overall, I'd say that if you really are in between sizes or have a curvier bottom half, size up, but otherwise your normal size should work fine.

Very short!
I read other reviews indicating that its best to size up, as the dress is tight and has little give, so I did. The dress fits well on my body, but is still very short. Even when I pull it down, I definitely feel that it is going to ride up while walking. I do like the dress and find it to be sexy and stylish, so Im going to get some tights and see if that feels more comfortable. If not, its going back. Maybe it'll be better suited for someone under 5'9....

Long Full Skirt
Nice skirt!
I also enjoy this skirt, and can't wait for some warm weather to use it. The fabric is soft and heavy, and of good quality. I also like the double band at the top, and find it to be flattering. I find that it looks a little better higher up on the waist, as I have a curvier bottom half. Definitely will need to be hemmed, Im 5'8 and its long on me, but as the other reviewer indicated, the hem is unfinished.

Swirl & Sway Tank
Cute tank!
I like this tank! Its something edgy and unique. It does have a looser fit, as its meant to and is clearly shown in the picture. They ran out of my normal size, M, so I bought a S and theres still room to spare. I can't wait to wear it with skinny jeans or shorts in the summer, to balance out the bigger silhouette. A good buy, being that its on sale now.

Plastic Island
Noir Cocktail Dress
Pretty good...
I do have to agree with the other reviewer, in that the dress was tight on the bottom and loose on top, although I wouldn't deviate from your normal size. I was also caught a little off guard that the top is a jersey material and the bottom is silk. I don't think it looks bad- actually I think if it were one material it would look worse, but the bottom may tend to get wrinkled more than the top because of the different fabrics. Overall, I think it looks good- I really like the sweetheart neckline and the netting; I don't think the netting looks cheap. It's a little more casual of a dress than I anticipated; also has pockets, which everyone loves. Overall, I think it's a cute dress and I will be keeping it, but I'm happy I waited for it to go on sale.

Elegantly Waisted
Cummerbund Belt
Nice, but ehh..
I find this belt to be nice, but outrageously overpriced. I had bought it in white, on sale, and still felt it wasn't worth it. I do think that it looks nice, especially with certain outfits it can add that element of style, but its basically a piece of leather you wrap around yourself and tie. Opt for a cheaper belt, if you can find one.

Splendid
Breton Stripe Tee
Love the nautical feel!
I love this top! I feel like it can be casual, but daytime dressy at that same time. It fits well and is flattering. I'd say maybe it's a tad shorter than how it appears on that model, but I don't think that detracts from it. I'd definitely wear a tank top underneath, as well.

Go to flats!
I do adore these shoes! I've been wearing them for a few seasons, and I still love them. I've read about sizing down, but I wouldn't- I found my usual size to be just fine. I haven't had the problem of them rubbing the back of my feet, even when I first got them. The only thing, which I can't really blame on these shoes particularly but I guess are just inherent to flats, is that they are hard to air out, to put it politely.

Joe's Jeans
Cigarette Jeans
Awesome jeans
I read raves about these jeans on other sites, and Id have to say I 100% agree. They are dressy enough to wear out with a pair of heels, but also super comfortable and soft for everyday wear. I'm thinking about getting another pair just to have on reserve in case something happens to the first. Definitely a comfortable yet flattering fit. I normally wear a 28-29 in other designer jeans; I went with a 28 in these as I read they can run slightly big, and they fit perfectly.
