Vince
Leather Scuba Jacket
Gorgeous But Not Pure White
It is very hard to tell from the pictures what color this jacket really is. White leather runs from the purest white to vanilla. This jacket is actually vanilla. I saw it in a store today and purchased it before I saw it on Shopbop! The Vince version that is linen with leather sleeves is actually pure white. The Vince motorcycle leather jacket is an eggshell color, the leather shell is pure white! This all makes a difference when you are looking for a specific shade of white. That said, I bought this jacket anyway, because i like the mix of different white shades. The jacket is comfy, classic and very true to size. I am 5'7", a size 10 and bought the M. The scuba jacket is not as thin or soft a leather as all the other Vince white leather pieces. It therefore, is not as fragile either!

Stylish Booties
These are the perfect warm climate or spring bootie! Fortunately, I y had the opportunity to try these on first at a store. IMO, they run quite large. I am a 39.5 - 40.5 in European shoes, and usually a 9 - 9.5 US. I also have a wide foot in the front. I would have ordered the 9.5 to be safe, and they would have been swimming on me. Turns out the 9 was perfect, with a bit of room to spare. With the style of this bootie, you should really be barefoot, so no heavy socks to worry about. The heel is a bit higher than I would have liked, but still comfy (at least 1/2 inch or more higher than the Rag & Bone Newbury boot), but I won't initially be wearing them on days I will be doing alot of walking!

Rag & Bone
Harrow Booties
So wanted this.....
I already own 2 pairs of Newbury's and really wanted these boots. I was fortunate enough to be able to try them on in a local store in Toronto. If you have high arches like I do, these boots may not be for you! I am a 39.5 in Newbury's and the 40 in these was very tight in the instep (although fine in the length). My arch is just too high to slip into these comfortably...it felt as though I just couldn't get my foot into them. Unfortunately, the next size up is a full size jump to 41, which was way too large (I am a 39 to 39.5 normally). I guess the Harrow is not for me! I ended up purchasing my 3rd pair of Newbury boots......
Sizing: Smaller than Expected
Sexy and Chic
A great addition to a black jeans wardrobe. These are already sold out in most sizes at stores in Toronto. I grabbed them as soon as I saw them on shopbop! They look quite small for their size, but unlike the other JBrand coated jeans, which run a size small, these are super stretchy. The slit is very chic and sexy. However, I am 5'7", with long legs. The slit falls in a perfect spot on me. I am not sure how well these would work on someone petite. You might need to re-create the slit, to shorten them. These are a bit dressier than your average black jean, but could be day or night with the right top. Shoes will be the biggest challenge. My high heeled pumps look great. I now need to find a bootie that works right with the slit. Overall stunning and very comfortable jeans.

Rag & Bone/JEAN
Skinny Jeans
Nice, but not what I was expecting
The fit is good. I am a true 32, and these fit fine. They are more of a legging in texture (thin and soft) and fit (tight) vs a jean. The color is darker than the picture. It is aubergine (eggplant) vs. wine. If i did not live abroad, and returning was difficult, I would exchange them....I was looking for a wine colored true jean. NIce fit, though and very comfortable.

Rag & Bone
Sandra Metallic Pullover
Subtle Chic
This sweater looks much better in person than it does in the picture! It is a nice off black color, with a subtle metallic sheen. It is still quite casual because of the style, and looks great with dark grey or off black jeans or leather pants. It is a heavy knit, but since it is not wool, it is not overly warm....works well in moderate climates. It is a bit short in front and wide in the neckline, so it looks best with a tank or shirt tails hanging out underneath. The only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the bulkiness of the knit.....it would be more flattering if it were a bit thinner. I am a M or L, and bought the L because I felt it was a better look a bit oversized, and the front is shorter than it appears on the model, who is slouching. (I am 5'7 ). The sweater is pricey for what it is, but the sale price is about right!

Perfect Black Tee
This tee can be dressy or casual. It is quite chic, and a heavy rib cotton, but sheer. It is also quite fitted, so size up if you don't want it skin tight.

Wilt
Big Mix Slant Tee
Another Winner from Wilt!
I just love Wilt tissue tees. They are loose, but sexy and comfy. I am not a fan of the heavier, shorter, slub variety.....if you are, you will not be happy with this top. It is tissue thin and quite see through. The front is a bit cooler color (like heather white vs oat) than the photo, and the back is a dark grey/off black. I am tallish (5'7") so the long length is great. I bought a M, my usual size in Wilt, which is generous and long, but fitted in the shoulders and arms. If you want it tighter, size down. I was afraid the smaller size would be too short in length, but on a smaller person that might work. I will wear this with my patterned off black jeans. It is quite a chic top. Love it!

J Brand
910 Ankle Skinny Jeans
What a Steal!
I have been eyeing these since last summer and I finally bought them. What a steal at this price. They are tts and stretchy. The color is is pale, greyish white. They are a great year round color and jean.

Why Are These Not Sold Out?
Silver jeans are all the rage, and these are still fully available, and on sale! They are the perfect, mid silver metallic - not as foil like or coated as the JBrand ones, and will work well for day or evening since they are a bit more subtle. They are the great Hudson stretch and fit. These are much more forgiving than many of the other metallic or coated jeans so they are more comfy and an easier fit. They are tts.....buy these!!!
