Honeydew Intimates
Camellia Bralette
Comfortable and chic
These are amazing! Got the black ones in small, fits just right. I'm a 32a so these were perfect. I wouldn't recommend these for gusty girls though, because of the lack of coverage. I love wearing this under loose semi sheer sweaters/knits.so Chic and comfortable. Would definitely buy more in other colors.

Plush
Two Tone Barca Slouchy Hat
not quite the beanie i was looking for
I have been searching for the prefect slouchy beanie to wear forever and I thought this might be it. Ordered it in the neon green color because i liked the color but when I tried it on, it was just too bright to wear as a hat....also, the fit wasn't quite right; it didn't sit as nice and slouchy looking as on the model but instead stands up at a weird angle. Also, it seemed to slip down my head only after less than 10 minutes of wear...plus, i don't think the cashmere helps with warmth...all in all, not worth it for the $60 price tag. I returned it and my search for the perfect beanie continues...

Skinny Chap Leather Jeans
not worth it
I tried these on at Intermix and initially loved it. But that was before trying it on: It was uncomfortable because you can feel the part where the faux leather and denim meets. Also, I don't know why Shopbop lists the fabric as "leather" when its actually FAUX Leather (the fabric is listed as 98% cotton 2% elastane) so $700 for a pair of denim-faux leather really isn't worth it. Also, the faux leather gives a slight sheen that makes it look cheap. And, when I tried sitting down, the jeans would slide all the way down to reveal my butt crack even though its clearly the right size for me. As you can see, its also ill-fitting. Looks great on the model though, but don't be fooled!

Barstow Shorts
Weird Sizing
The sizing on these shorts is really weird. I'm usually a size 25-26 in jeans and so ordered a size 1 for these shorts. They were super tight and I had trouble fastening the hook-and-eye closure around the waist. So I retuned them and purchased a size 2. When the size 2 arrived, they fit BUT the waist was way too big this time. I was really disappointed because I really liked the style and design and wanted them to work badly. I am thinking of wearing a belt with it to make it fit BUT there is another problem with the shorts: the inseam is so short, the shorts would ride up as I walk and expose my butt cheeks. Plus, this would also cause a bunching up of material on the crotch area. Not attractive at all. I'm just not sure if they are worth the trouble to wear. Most probably returning them. Its too bad.

Boxy Crew Neck Pullover Sweater
Super big
This sweater runs way too big! The sleeves were way past my entire hand and rolling the sleeves up was not a flattering look. Ended up returning them. The fabric is a midweight knit that would be unbearable in the upcoming months anyway. The only thing i liked about it was the nice blue color.

Division Blazer
One of a kind
This truly is a unique blazer- wearable yet head turning (literallly). Even when I was just holding this blazer in my hand, people were complimenting me on it and asking me who made it. It runs slightly big, even though I bought the smallest size available (sz 2) but only if you're petite like me. The sleeves are too long for me so I usually push them up to my elbow. It fits like a boyfriend blazer for me, so I usually pair them with my leather shorts or Ksubi cutoffs to balance the proportion. I gave it one less star only because of the fabric-the pink quilted sleeves are nice but I didn't quite like the rest of the fabric; they look like those cheap, illl-fitting suiting blazers that I cringe at, but just of slightly better quality. But I'm keeping it because it fits fine and it is a truly one of a kind blazer.

Ksubi
Alberceque Cutoff Shorts
Perfect cut-offs
I just received them today and immediately wore them out. I knew they ran very small so I purchased the size 27 and they fit perfectly with no excessive butt cheek spillage, which I was worried about. I wear a size 25-26 in jeans and so I would advice you to size at least one size up, or even 2 sizes up if you, like me, don't have supermodel gams. I love the distressed look of it and the pockets peeking out from under the hems... The only thing was the wash; I expected them to be a light blue wash (like on the model) but it turned out to be more of a true vintage blue. They look like the vintage Levi's cutoffs that cost a quarter of these but oh well, I'm hoping the quality of the Ksubi's will be better than the levi's but only time will tell! All in all, I love it but gave it one less star because of the $$$ and the wash.

Helmut Lang
V Neck Pullover Sweater
Unflattering sleeves + Itchy fabric
I was super excited to try them on at Scoop nyc when they were having a 30% promotion over the weekend but was disappointed in the fit and fabric of this sweater. I definitely like the design/style of it but when I put it on, the chunky sleeves made my arms look bigger than they actually are (and my arms are already considered to be on the slender side) and the fabric was rather itchy. They are also super sheer and you would have to layer a tank/camisole underneath, which I personally hate doing. The fabric is also a very heavy knit and would be a torture to wear in the upcoming hotter months. It also ran smaller than i thought, especially the sleeves which were super tight in my usual size. All in all, NOT worth the $$$ and discomfort, which is too bad, because its a cool style.

Helmut Lang
Asymmetrical Cutout Sweater
not worth the price
I tried this sweater on at a helmut lang boutique but was disappointed. The cut out details were fine but the color made me look washed out. I'm fair to medium skinned tone and this color was not flattering on me. Also, the sweater was suppose to be a brand new one but there were ALOT OF SNAGS all over, which tells me the material is very delicate, which to me is not worth the $$$ and the careful handling required of it. A friend of mine who also has this exact same sweater tells me the same thing, that she bought it and after only a few wears, there were snags all over even though she was already careful. Also, another thing I didn't care for was that you have to wear a tank underneath as it is sheer and I find that uncomfortable and unflattering due to all the bunching up of extra material. Bottom line: DON'T BOTHER.

Honeydew Intimates
Round Trip Bralette
WORTH EVERY PENNY
I now have 3 bralettes by Honeydew intimites (all from shopbop) and I will definitely be getting more. COMFORTABLE, SEXY, AFFORDABLE,VERY REASONABLY PRICE & GOOD QUALITY. They are now my go-to bras and my Ck bras have been cast aside. They are sexy and chic under a semi sheer tshirt or knit. I bought the round trip bralette in tokyo blue and its an absolutely beautiful shade of blue, not dull like navy but not too bright that I'll feel tacky wearing it under semi sheer tops. I purchased this in M instead of my usual S. The round trip bralette does run slightly small so do size up especially if you're on the bigger busted side. I also have the Camelia bralette in S which I also love but I have to say that the round trip is actually sexier, probably because of the mesh/lace trimings all around that the Camelia lack. But I would say buy them all! SHOPBOP, please stock these in OTHER COLORS!
