I love the print, but the bottom half of the bikini top (if that makes sense -- the portion of fabric that extends down past where normal bikini tops end) didn't stay in place. It rolled and folded up, so I had to tug it down constantly to make it look as cute and retro as it does in the photo. I was sad that I had to return this bathing suit. Note: maybe it would work on someone with a smaller chest (I'm a 34D).

Initially I had some trouble threading these into my ears because of the slight curve at the end, but that happens to me with all earrings where the stud isn't completely straight. I haven't had the problems with them sliding out, like other reviewers mentioned. I love that they're unusual enough for people to notice but not garish at all, like some large hoops can be. You can wear these with jeans or with an evening gown. (Oh, also -- even though I'd read the review that mentioned the resemblance to fish, when they're in your ears, it's totally unnoticeable!) We'll see if the gold plate lasts, but for the price, I think these are great.

I haven't worn this long enough to know whether the patina will dull, but right now I am in love with it. I wear it on my pinky because it just seems to work there -- it's so delicate -- but because it's adjustable you could wear it on any finger. Love the subtle sparkle.

Even though I got this for 60% off, I still had to return it. I was really surprised, too, because I'm a big fan of Splendid's cute little casual summer dresses. The material was thin and cheap, and the way the top and bottom were sewed together just hung together wrong. The waist was way too high. I'll try another Splendid mini-dress next time.

I wear these pretty much non-stop in the winter under giant cashmere sweaters, along with over-the-knee boots ... which I have to say is really the comfiest, warmest, snuggliest outfit you can wear in a Boston winter that still manages to be somewhat stylish. I'm on my third pair, because if you live in them like I do, after a season's wear, the back pockets will start to come off, the color fades a bit, etc. But I mean, they're $80 leggings that look like jeans (well, if you don't look too closely) ... it's worth buying some extra pairs.

Considering the price, this sweatshirt looks pretty cheap. It was already pilling a little when I took it out of the box, and the off-white color was dingy, like something that had already gone through the wash a few too many times. I returned it.

Just adding my agreement to the general crowd approval for these booties. They give a ton of height without sacrificing a bit of stability or comfort. Perfect with skinnies, leggings, etc. For me, they were true to size, and I couldn't be happier with them. Maybe the only complaint would come from my downstairs neighbors, who are probably a little tired of hearing me clomp around in them!

These were about a half-size smaller than I expected, but they'll do -- I just won't put them in the dryer. I love the thin fabric for summer, especially with the beautiful floral ombre summertime print. Perfect with flats and a crisp blue-and-white striped button-down or an oversized white summer sweater.

I actually bought this as a handbag instead of a clutch, which might have been a dumb choice, but what can I say? I fell in love with the pattern. So obviously it won't fit my usual jumble of keys, Kindle, sunglasses, compacts, lipstick tubes, etc., but maybe that's for the best. Honestly, I bought this because I wanted a handbag that could easily go from day to night. I hated lugging my heavy, totally unsexy handbag all night long, especially dancing. This will be easy to wear cross-body and it'll look amazing with a cocktail dress. I think it's worth it. I just won't take it hiking.

So understated, so elegant. This will subtly dress up a sweater or add sleek gleam to a plunge-neck evening gown. So happy I bought this, because I know I'll be wearing it all the time.
