Splendid
Heather Maxi Tube Skirt / Dress
Flimsy Fabric
I have been hunting for a casual maxi skirt and hoped this would fit the bill. It might work as a one off vacation piece but i felt it might shrink on first wash. The fabric was a little unforgiving and showed any lumps, bumps or VPL! I am 5'7" and the length was slightly too short but obviously would work ok as a dress. As I a not a fan of strapless dresses this piece just did not work for me. Oh and definitely order a size up as I typically run a small and as per reviews went for a medium which only just fit!
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

True Religion
Cameron Boyfriend Jeans
Unflattering Fit!
I found the Cameron's to be a little bizarre in the fit - large at the waist and thigh while very narrow on the knees. I know these are classed as skinny boyfriends but I really did not like the overall silhouette which did nothing for my shape! They did run big and I have tried an array of sizes finding that I would size down a size to a 26 if I were to keep them. Ultimately I prefer the look of the more traditional boyfriends so will not be giving up my AG's just yet! I am 5'7" tall and typically a size 2/4 weighing 125 lbs!

Tory Burch
Sally Wedge Pumps
Classic with Edge!
I own two other pairs of TB Sally Wedges and so felt that this snakeskin option would be of the same fit. They are! Love them and plan on wearing with boyfriend jeans - my staple. The wedge is high enough to denote a little elegance without being uncomfortable while the snakeskin print compliments every color. True to size, I particularly like the peep toe on this option which makes it the perfect summer wedge. I may order the Python option also which has gold undertones but is essentially the same shoe! It goes without saying that Shopbop's customer service is second to none which is why I order my brands from this website as opposed to others who are a little more restrictive!

Tory Burch
Selma Flat Sandals
The Perfect Summer Flat
I have a love/hate relationship with Tory Burch shoes - love the styles but find the sizing/fit hard to navigate! Not with the Selma Flats though - they fit perfectly and are, what I consider to be, true to size. The two things I love about this particular style is the slingback and the tumbled leather. I still have a pair of TB flats in tumbled leather from 5 years ago and so I envisage these will last equally as long and still look good. Will be ordering another color! Love!

Elson Straight Leg Jeans
A Classic Must-Have
Every now and again I like to wear a straight leg jean as opposed to a skinny. Previously I have chosen True Religions Billy or Bobby styles which are cool but very very low rise. I chose Elson because of the higher rise and was not disappointed. I ordered the 27 and 28 and have kept the 27 - I weight 125 lbs and am heavy on the hips than the waist. I think the Elson runs larger than average. I did end up getting them shortened by an inch or so as I found the 34" length a little long for my 5'7" frame. The fabric to Elson is stretchy but really comfortable and they are the best style for just throwing on with a casual tee and black booties.

Avedon Slick Skinny Jeans
A Skinny Essential!
I purchased my first pair of Avedon skinny jeans two years ago and they are still going strong. I decided to plump for another pair as they are the most comfortable of skinnies. I am a typically a size 27/28 in jeans and around 125lbs. On this occasion I opted for a size 28 as I prefer the slightly looser fit. This doesn't mean to say that there are any wrinkles or bagging with the larger size but just an overall more comfortable fit. I highly recommend ordering two sizes to determine which is the best fit for you.

Tory Burch
Britton Wedge Thong Sandals
Disappointed
I tried this particular pair of sandals from another retailer and have to say was so disappointed. The issue seemed to be with stability. The straps did not hold my foot in place sufficiently, so I could hardly walk in them. The buckle is flimsy and hard to fasten and I envisioned that in time this might break. The style denotes a really useful sandal but in reality the fit is very disappointing.

Velvet
Lily Aldridge for Velvet Ruby Jacket
Spring Essential!
This is the most useful jacket which makes for a great layering piece on those chillier Spring mornings. The interior draw string creates shape if needed and can be loosened depending on what top you are wearing. The color is the perfect compliment to any print and the fabric is of a quality cotton which does not crease as soon as you put it on. This is going to sell out quick and I am so glad I got mine straight off the bat! I am a slim build size 2/4 in a jacket and got a size small so figure it is TTS.

Rocket High Rise Skinny Jeans
The Best of The Skinnies!
I am a huge jean fanatic and have skinnies from all different brands. The high rise Rocket is not unlike the AG Farrah skinny and has a similar high rise which I have grown to love. There is just the right amount of stretch in this version of Rocket and the length is perfect for my 5'7" frame. They do appear to stretch out slightly but I would still stick to your normal size as in my experience this kind of denim may shrink slightly. I love the Goth color which is slightly edgier than the black I normally go for. I am 125lbs, 5'7" in height and went for a size 28.

AG Adriano Goldschmied
Farrah High Rise Skinny Jeans
High Rise Classic
I already own two pairs of Farrah's and Im surprised at how often I refer to them. I decided to opt for another pair purely and simply because they are so comfortable and unlike many skinnies, do not wrinkle and are not in anyway constricting. I actually ended up sizing down to a 27 in this Farrah option as they most definitely run larger than my previous Farrah styles. I am 5'7" and 125lbs. What I particularly love about this pair of Farrah's is the richness of the denim. They are really well made, wash well and most importantly look fabulous! Oh......and are made in the USA!!
