Vince
Adria Ankle Cuff Sandals
Gorgeous - but not for me :(
I really wanted to love Vince's Adria Sandals, as they are all in all absolutely gorgeous! They are comfortable to wear, have a nice padding, are of great quality and the leather is SO soft! However, unfortunately, I very sadly had to return them, because, although they fit really true to size regarding length and width, the ankle cuff was slightly too wide for my VERY thin ankles, which did not look that great :( What a pity! I think they will work out great for nearly everyone, because my ankles are really unusually thin, so - GO FOR IT, girls, you will not be disappointed!

The Cigarette Leg Jeans
Still don't know..
After trying this pair again and again, I finally decided to return it - although I am still not sure whether to re-order it! ;) Really love R&B denim, and this one is at least "good". However, I agree with certain points from other reviewers: It is VERY long (ok, being only 5'3", I am used to having pants hemmed..) and, for a "cigarette leg" jean, also pretty (too) tight from the knees downwards. Besides that, the fabric is very stretchy and oh-so-soft (but not too thin, so I think it will not stretch out that much with wear), the wash is gorgeous (dark-worn-blue with fadings in all the right places!), and it fits pretty much TTS in the waist area - although I would have sized down to a 23 if available, because every fabric stretches out at least a bit, and then the waist may be slightly too wide for me, though not a big deal! All in all, as said before, I could not forget it until now, and will perhaps give it a 2nd try. I recommend at least trying it, because it MAY be gorgeos..!

Evelyn Sweater
Strange fit and fabric seems cheap :(
I had this sweater on my wishlist for a really long time, and decided to finally go for it due to the gorgeous Friends&Family offer (thanks again, Shopbop! :)). However, it was a BIG disappointment: The fabric seems to be cheap, slightly scratchy, you see, feel and smell the synthetic fibres at once! Besides that, the fit is strange, totally off for a petite one like me (5'3", 90lbs): The boat-neckline is cute and the sleeves fit ok; however, it is very long and VERY snug (even for me?!) from the waist downwards, hence the look on me was totally awkward. Went back at once..

The Skinny Slim Jeans
Another great one from Rag & Bone!
Although these jeans really received very diverge reviews, I decided to give it a try, looking for a nice fitted pair of not over-the-top worn-out jeans - and I am SO glad I did! I usually wear a size 23-24 (24 in most R&B jeans), and ordered this one in a 23. The fit is just perfect, although I think that a 24 would also have worked. It is not too high-waisted and very fitted all the way through, also from the rear. The fabric has just the right amount of stretch, but feels really soft and comfortable. Furthermore, I love the slightly "dirty/brownish" wash with fadings in all the right places for a slimming effect. A really nice worn-out jean, not over-the-top, simply fantastic! Give it a try at least, girls! ;)

Calvin Klein Underwear
Calvin Klein Concept Camisole
Excellent!
Another masterpiece from my favourite underwear brand CKU! This camisole is made of a pretty thin but unbelievably soft fabric which provides just the right amount of support in all the right places! I am very petite (5'4", 90lbs, 32B) and the XS fits perfect, not too tight, but just body-hugging enough; also the length is just perfect for me, hitting around my hip bones! Would have been even better with adjustable shoulder-straps, but that's not a real show-stopper for it. I have already worn in for my Yoga Training, but will also love it as casual underwear under tops, tees and summer knits! Highly recommended!

The Basic Brando Tee
Too big and see-through for my taste..
This is a really lovely tee, the cut and the print are SO cute and the fabric is very soft to the skin! Unfortunately, however, even the XS was a little bit too big for me (5'4", 90lbs, 32B), which made it look somehow too casual, too "sleep-shirt-like" :( Furthermore, it is also pretty sheer, which did not work that good with my rather pale complexion. All in all, I would definitely recommend this for taller women (with a more olive-like complexion, perhaps..).

AG Adriano Goldschmied
The Absolute Legging Jeans
Little bit disappointed..
As AG is one of my favourite denim brands, I was really looking forward to receiving this one, because I had been looking for a "real Legging Jeans", fitted all the way through, also for petite ones like me (for reference: I am only 5'4", 90lbs, usually a size 23-24); and I thought an "Absolute Legging Jeans" from AG must be it! However, unfortunately, it was not: Unlike other AGs I own, the fabric of this one is very stretchy, but also pretty thick and stiff, not really soft. Furthermore, it did not fit as body-hugging as expected, slightly too large in the thighs area, although, strangely enough, the waist was ok. All in all, especially the stiffness of the fabric made this one look somehow strange, with crinkling down the legs :( This one goes back, I prefer the Legging Ankle style which is a much better fit and softer fabric in all different washes I tried until now.

AG Adriano Goldschmied
Legging Ankle Jeans
Great pair of white jeans!
I have tried lots of different brands now (Rag & Bone, J Brand, COH, 7 Jeans, Frame Denim) on my search for the perfect white jeans - and nearly (!) found it with this pair! Being very petite (5'3", 90lbs, between 23 and 24 in jeans), it was even more difficult, as I feel that most white jeans do fit larger than expected - as most people do not like their white jeans THAT fitted and see-through. Delicate... However, for me, these AG jeans do fit TTS, nicely fitted, but very comfortable due to the great amount of stretch - be aware of this if you do not like it that stretchy! But even though they HAVE lots of stretch, they finally still feel like a jeans, not too thin, not too see-through. Could be slightly more fitted for me from the knees downwards, but this is due to my petite height, I am used to that ;) Nevertheless, would have bought it a size smaller (but there is no 23 for AG jeans), because it may tend to stretch out slightly with wear. All in all, a great pair of white jeans!

Calvin Klein Underwear
Brief Encounters Hipster Briefs
A little large, unfortunately...
I really love CKU, and it is definitely my go-to-brand for underwear. These hipster briefs are very soft to the skin and the cut is great, very low-waisted and showing just enough and not too much of your legs and butts :) I also love the sheer material which makes these briefs even more sexy without "showing-off". Unfortunately, however, it fits a tad large, larger than I am used to for CKUs. Will nevertheless keep it, because it is really cute!

Dayna Knit Dress
Fabulous!
As I am very petite (5'4", 93lbs), it is pretty hard for me to find a dress that is fitted and not too long. This one in a size 00 for me is the lucky and fabulous exception! It fits like a glove, but the fabric (thick knit with a decent amount of stretch) is very comfortable and soft. The faux leather part is also fabulous!: Definitely looks like real leather, feels buttery smooth! The length of this dress for me would also be ok, although I will nevertheless have it shortened a little bit: It's a very elegant style, but I need it a tad more edgy, hence a little bit shorter, to make it a dress for daily wear. Especially for the price, this is HIGHLY recommended! Just note that it may fit a little bit smaller that expected for "not too petite-shaped" women.
