Great for cool nights
I took this to NYC with me and loved that it was lightweight enough to not overheat inside but warm enough to keep off a chill from the breeze on bare arms.

A show stopper!
I've rented this skirt twice and it always gets hella complements. It is voluminous with the bubble hem. I love this about this skirt, so if you're a less is more girlie, keep moving. This skirt is DRAMATIC with the hem and the texture of the fabric itself? Heaven. I will probably buy one when they go on sale.

Loved this bag!
I was able to fit a lot of stuff in this bag and carried it for the entire month. I was sad to see it go. The magnet is wonky and didn't really want to keep it closed so it really did look like a big leather bucket, which was fine with me.

SO CUTE and short
I get where everyone is coming from about this dress being really short. I am a tall girlie with legs for days and I am totally ok with wearing short short dresses and skirts. I just wore some black tights and sheer tights with it and it was fine. The ability to button and unbutton it is nice. Don't forget that there's a little snap above the zipper on the side.

Great for petite girlies, nope for the broad shouldered girlies
I got a medium in this top because that's generally what fits me, but if an extra large had been available that might have fit me. I'm a broad shouldered lady with a longish torso, and this top fit like a children's medium. If you're petite, this is your top!

Cute but had some personal problems
I really liked the look of this dress, but I couldn't get the back to lie flat on my back where the zipper is. It just made it look cheap on me. This is likely a personal problem, so not universal by any means. The fabric is lovely and has a subtle gold thread woven in.

Just wouldn't lie flat!
It's a super cute dress, but it just did my body NO justice. It is a larger knit and the fabric bunched and rode up at the bottom no matter what I did to try to flatten it out. I wore it for new years eve and ended up wearing a penny lane coat with it which helped, but for the retail value of this dress... nah.

Comfy and warm, tons of compliments
The fabric on these is true houndstooth tweed and it is absolutely luxurious. The weight and fit is great for cold weather with a base layer of leggings or tights underneath. They are also loose fitting enough for not so cold weather as well. I'm 5'7" and they were somewhere between ankle and full length. Super versatile. They do NOT have belt loops and are true elastic waisted. I loved these and will probably rent them again next month. I kept them for 2 months and considered keeping them forever!

LOVED this
The fit was great and forgiving for a gal with broad shoulders. I got SO many compliments. This is a great top for green and light brown eyed people and is super easy to mix prints with. I wore it with a fun, flowy leopard print skirt and boots.

Cute, but oddly shaped
I wore this over a pair of trousers because it was just a bit short to wear as a dress with how flowy it is at the bottom. Loved the fabric, but the way it sat on me made my hips look hella wide, which I'm not a fan of.

Just not right
I tried this on once and just couldn't figure out how to make it work. So it sat in the bag all month. The fabric is a really slippery satin and the way it's cut is just not right for such a slippery fabric.

Too small to carry my phone!
This purse was super cute, but fit absolutely nothing inside it. I couldn't even fit my phone, which is the whole point in a purse these days...

I loved this dress. The fun print and the forgiving shape of the dress made me not want to send it back!

SO Cute!
Yes, it's mesh and see through. Put on a tank top and wear this baby! There are thumb holes in the sleeves which is super fun. I was sad to see this go and might buy it when it goes on final sale at some point. The dots are a lovely shade of sage green.

Cute and sensible
These trousers are lovely! They run small! I usually fit comfortably in a 6, but an 8 in these would have done me just right. The plaid is a blue/grey color and the ground is black, so they're very versatile.

Good for fall!
I'm a broad shouldered gal and the medium fit tight around my shoulders. I couldn't raise my arms while wearing it, but it was fine. The lining is a lovely satin in the same yellow color. Weight was nice and it felt luxurious.

Cute, but runs a bit large
I absolutely adore HVN and have a couple of their pieces. This dress was fine. Not great, but fine. It was a bit large and fit me a little matronly. I wore it to dinner in NYC, so the big apple theme was nice.

Show stopper!
Everyone I saw said they loved the dress on me. It fits great, but I sized up to a large when I'm usually a medium. The sleeves can be unbuttoned in case you decide you don't like them. I wore it to NYE and had so much fun in the dress that I didn't even get a picture of it on me!

Absolutely the best!
Flowy and VOLUMINOUS. Absolutely perfect in every way for my eclectic and eccentric self. I wore this to Jazz Fest and never had any issues with the heat. The crisp cotton fabric makes this dress very cool. Tons of compliments and loads of looks. The one single issue is that you have to be very strategic about tying the straps so you don't lose yourself up top.

NYE Success!
I'm a tall, curvy woman and this dress fit like a dream. Usually a size 10/12 and the XL fit me perfectly. I could fit into the L, but the XL did all the right things for me. It's stretchy in all the right ways yet doesn't hug the body in an unflattering way. The cut out was placed perfectly for me. I wore it for 8 or so hours and had no issues whatsoever. Easy on and off.
