Flowy and comfortable
Love love love this tunic. Fabric is silky and light and flowy and wonderful. Worn as a dress while pregnant it's perfect! It definitely runs large... even with a 28 week bump, I still had tons of room. In fact, I returned this size 4 (pictured) and ordered a size 2 instead to wear for other things, and I like the smaller fit a bit better. One caveat: the pleating under the bust is very flattering for maternity, but I feel like it would make me look like I had a big belly post-pregnancy as well. So I might not like it as much if I wasn't pregnant.

Small Fit, Strange Sleeves
The fabric pattern and color are beautiful, but there are problems with the fit. I'm a solid small in tops, and even the medium was a little tight. The sleeves also kept flipping up and inside out every time I raised my arms even a tiny bit. Cute if you're standing perfectly still, but not fun to wear all day.

Weird hot pink threads
I loved the picture of this jacket on the model, but up close, it has neon pink and metallic silver accent threads running through it. The cut of this jacket is so professional that the threads just look out of place and cheap - almost like something you'd find at Forever 21. Otherwise it's super cute. The waist hit too high to be flattering on me, but that's just a personal fit issue - I'm sure it would look wonderful on others :-)

Adorable but sort of impractical
I really wanted to love this bag. The round shape is so unusual and fun, and my favorite detail which isn't shown in the RTR picture is the contrasting peach color around the zipper. Unfortunately two things made the bag difficult to carry - 1) the short straps are just a little to short to easily slip over your wrist quickly (and the edges are a bit sharp, too, making this even less comfortable), and 2) the round shape makes it nearly impossible to set the bag down on a flat surface without it rolling over, so it's cumbersome to set it to the side at dinner or while at a check out counter, etc. But the bag is so cute that it's pretty easy to overlook these issues :-)

Pretty but very short strap
This bag is super cute, but the strap is extremely short. It is too long to carry on your hand or elbow, but too short for the shoulder. It is adjustable but only by about an inch in either direction, so not very helpful. There is also no back pocket on the exterior, so you have to open the main flap every time you reach for your phone or keys. Boo.
