Beautiful skirt
This skirt is really beautiful. I bought size 0. I'm 5'2", 110llb and 33" hips. The skirt did fit but I decided it was too short on me. I returned the skirt. Maybe a size 2 would have been better as it would have sat slightly lower on my hips.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected
Not what I expected
Based on the reviews I decided to buy the James jeans. I loved the colour and they were very stretchy and comfortable. But I disliked the thinness of the fabric. It is probably a great pair of jeans for summer. Also the legs were baggy behind the knees on me. They were not really form fitting leggings on me. I'm 5'2", 110llb and have size 33 hips and I purchased size 26. I've sent the jeans back. I prefer the fit of my Paige verdugo jeggings than these jeans.

Cady Cuff Shorts
Well tailored shorts
I purchased size 2 in white. I would say they are true to size. I'm generally size 26 in most jeans and these shorts fit perfectly. However I am miffed with the sizing as the model dimensions in the white pair states 36' hips. I have 33' hips and they fit perfectly. I'm not sure if sizing may vary from year to year as the reviews are really different across the board. These shorts can be dressed up or down which I love.

Very pretty necklace
I purchased this necklace last year for my sister for Christmas and she loves it. The quality looks quite good and the length is perfect. Great to throw own to lift a simple tshirt.

a very sexy flattering fitted dress
I have been eyeing this dress for a while as I was not sure of the size but I finally took the plunge due to returning a Kain dress which was a disappointment. This is my first AO piece and I purchased a size 2 in black. This dress is extremely fitted, form fitting and feels very sexy on. I don't think I would size up or the underarms would have been too big. The dress is very well made and the fabric used is thick and tight, great for sucking in any bumps. I love the peplum as it does cover up my not so flat stomach. I am not sure if I will wear this dress to work as it is tight. I will probably need to wear a blazer with it. I have not worn the dress out yet but I believe the skirt may ride up a little when you walk as it is tight. Overall I am happy the this purchase. I'm 5'2", 33" hips and 50kg

Tibi
Maverick Colorblock Shorts
Perfectly tailored skorts
The quality and workmanship of this Tibi skort is beautiful. This versatile little number can be dressed up with high heels and dressed down with flat sandals which are totally modern and chic. The fabric has a little stretch which makes them very comfortable. I don't wear minis but it is like wearing a mini when viewed from the front and the perfect length shorts from the back. Also, there is minimum wrinkles after been worn which is great as I like the prestine look of this little number.

915 Waxed Legging Jeans
Comfy waxed jeans
I purchased these jeans more than three months ago. I just love them. I am a size 26 in most jeans but did try this in our local department store and found them quite snug so I went up to a size 27. They look great as I did not want that plastered on look. It makes me look super thin. The downside of sizing up is that the back gaps and they ride down a little. Will probably just get the tailor to put two darts at the waist band to fix the problem. Therefore I believe that a size 26 probably does fit true to size. Also, as previous reviewers have mentioned, the jeans actually do not look like the photo. Mine are definately less shiny which I personally love. The ones I tried in store are also not as shiny as pictured.

Falke
Striggings Knee High Socks
So soft
I have a similar pair also in falke and I equally love this pair too. I will wear these with leggings and my flat over the knee boots late December when I visit NYC and Canada. They feel really warm. Might need to get the black ones too.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Skinny Jeans
Great comfy skinnies
This is my first pair of Rag and Bone jeans and I love them. I bought these in my usual size 26 and they are absolutely perfect. They are fitted all the way down, easy to get on and I've experience no bunching in the knees whatsoever. These jeans are super stretchy, thick denim and incredibly comfy. I will be wearing these jeans with my chunky platform booties. Although I'm only 5'2" and 110 pounds, my legs look incredibly long and lean when I add my booties. I'm hooked! I will suss out my next pair.

Excellent quality socks
I purchased these socks in grey and sand. The grey is really nice. Sand is just average. They are very soft and the quality is excellent. I'm 5'2" so they just cover the middle of my knee cap which is exactly where I wanted them so they are longer to have them peeking out of of my boots. I bought these specifically to wear with my boots and leggings in Japan in a few weeks.
