Perry Cropped Trousers
great cut
The skinny but straight leg cut of these pants is awesome: it is a fresh and welcome change from all my skinny pants that really taper in at the ankle. The sizing for these is a bit different from the usual, but seems true to what is listed on the 'fit' chart. The only potential issue for me is that the fabric is pretty light, with no lining, and I worry a little about quality of the construction.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

never taking it off
One more rave review of this gorgeous jacket! I have big shoulders and chest, so most jackets make me look frumpy if they are cut straight or too 'curvy' if they are nipped at the waist -- this one has a very flattering cut, I took my regular size 8 without a problem. Buttons under the bust and the cut-out back gives a great line. The only thing my eye has to get used to are the rather large and prominent shoulder pads...

Donna Booties
tight and a little dull
These are narrow and I have relatively wide feet, so should have gone up a size. I don't think I'll bother re-ordering these, though, since they are a little boring ('minimalist' indeed!). A dull, pebbled leather, nice, streamlined shape, but nothing wow and I need wow at this price point.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Harrison Trench Coat
nice overall
Nice light spring coat for a good price -- fabric is not too stiff and the hardware details nice. The color is a bit darker (more beige) than in the photo. Only con is that it is almost an A line in the body, not as streamlined as I would like. I'm a size 10 and ordered a Large. Considering exchanging for a medium, but then shoulders might be too tight.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

very thin, clingy fabric
nice cut, but the thin fabric doesn't work for me - shows every lump and bump!

lovely boots
I love Alexander Wang shoes, boots, and sandals -- always beautifully made and nice lines. These ones are great -- good, classic design from the front, with a very slight cowboy vibe. The nifty cut out on the back heel is just an added cool bonus. The cut out heel doesn't effect the feel of wearing the boot -- the heel feels solid when you are walking. Like all A Wang shoes, these seem to be made for narrow feet, so if you are a bit wide, you might want to size up. The length is true to size.

we are owls
Skeleton Scarf
not in love with the colors
I have another 'we are owls' scarf and I'm a big fan of the 'skeleton' design, but when you knot this scarf around your neck, the dominate color is a dusty pink -- all you see is big, dusty pink cabbage roses on a grey-beige background. Not my thing -- slightly grandma. I don't like yellow, either, so 'skeleton scarf' is a no-go for me this season, boo. It is soft and a funky design, though, so if you like pink or you want to wear it primarily as a wrap, you might really like it.

Alyssa Boots
a bit clunky
These are nice enough looking, but they do run big; I have wide feet and my normal size (9.5) was super roomy all over. Perhaps because they are too big, they make my feet look really LARGE -- the boot has a rounded toe, so that also makes it the whole thing look clunky. Perhaps sizing down would help.
