Adorable clutch

This clutch was as adorable as I expected it to be, and the quality was great as well, exactly what I expected from Kate Spade. I loved carrying around such a unique clutch all night! I especially loved that the ladybug is filled out with subtle black sequins underneath the wings, it was such a thoughtful detail. The one thing that disappointed me was that the wings were more florescent neon pink than red. On my computer screen, the pictures made the ladybug seem more of a reddish orange or a true red, so it's not what I was expecting. The saffiano leather was great, and I loved that the inside had both a zip compartment stretching almost the entire length of the clutch. It also had three credit card slots on the other side of the interior, so that putting in credit cards wouldn't interfere with the zip compartment. I also loved that the magnetic clasp, which was very secure, was the shape of a bow and very discreetly built into the saffiano leather. The acetate lining was embroidered with whimsical saying, as many Kate Spade bags are (the quality of the lining could have been better, but I'm being really nitpicky here).

Gorgeous dress, heavy material

This dress was gorgeous and incredibly flattering. You can't tell from the picture, but the blue and white print is actually a different piece of cloth that really pops out of the black background when you see it in person. The darts also pop out of the fabric, giving the entire dress a more 3-dimensional look than the picture suggests. The print is also a very silky material that adds a lot of depth to the dress. Overall, the look was more formal than I was expecting, so instead of wearing it to work I wore it to a formal event. The dress came to just above my knees. Unfortunately, the neckline was a bit loose on me, even though I have fairly broad shoulders for someone of my size, and I was wearing a push-up bra. The material was also much thicker than I expected, and I would not recommend this for an outdoor or a summer event, but it's the perfect thickness for a winter event. The thickness was good for hiding any unevenness.

Unique and led to so many compliments

This necklace is really different from all the other statement necklaces out there, and I received so many compliments on it. It's fairly versatile, though it only works for more casual outfits. It's a good weight, and I thought it would be too heavy on my neck at first, but didn't notice it at all after putting it on. The quality is excellent.

Great edgy look

The jacket was incredibly warm because it was lined in fleece, which kept me warm in temperatures as low as 30 degrees. The fleece lining was thin enough to not add much bulk, and I could still wear a thin sweater underneath. I also loved the side pockets, which aren't apparent in the picture. The look is the perfect balance of edgy and polished, with faded gold hardware and a very boxy silhouette. However, I should note that the leather itself, while incredibly soft and high quality, was much thinner than I expected. This is because, as other reviewers have mentioned, it's from their diffusion line.

Beautiful bag; but RTR, please provide accurate measurements

This bag is gorgeous and well-made. I didn't find the buckle difficult to use. The color was a bit lighter than shown online, which I didn't mind. However, I rented it on faith that it would fit my 13 inch Macbook Air, which it barely did -- there wasn't room for anything else. RTR's dimensions were definitely off -- it's obviously not only 4 inches wide, so I just hoped that I'd be able to use it as a work bag, but I couldn't. Fortunately, I rented through Unlimited, and it's great to be able to just send back whatever doesn't work out!

Good-looking bag, less structured than I expected

The pictures made it seem more structured but it's actually quite floppy, which unfortunately just doesn't fit my aesthetic. It's also larger than I expected and the top is wider than the bottom by more than it seems in the picture. I thought that it was a bit overwhelming on me, but I have a tiny frame, and it does manage to fit a lot! The drawback is that the straps are thin so it's not super comfortable if you're carrying around a lot. The leather is great quality and the cell phone compartment inside was big enough to hold my phone and huge set of keys. This would be a great bag for someone with a more casual style who likes unstructured bags, but it just wasn't sleek/professional enough for my style.

Unique cut, very chic

The shoulders were a bit too wide on me even though I have wide shoulders for my frame and often have the opposite problem with blazers. The cut is beautiful and it looks fabulous paired with so many outfits -- I rented it through Unlimited so I plan on keeping it a bit longer :) I didn't realize that the sleeves were bracelet length (they may be 3/4 length on someone taller/with longer arms), but that didn't bother me too much. Unfortunately the pockets are fake, but that makes it drape better, so it's worth the trade-off. The button in the middle is hidden, as are the buttons on the cuffs, but they are functional if you want to roll up the sleeves of the blazer.

Perfect in all respects

It was gorgeous as pictured, and not overwhelming on my small frame as I had feared it might be. It's much lighter than I expected (though it's not light, it's not heavy at all) and it's super comfortable to wear because of the cloth lining the inside of the necklace. The details on this necklace are incredible, there's even a tiny rhinestone at the end of the adjustable links! Plus it dressed up or down with so many colors -- I rented it with Unlimited and plan on keeping it for a few more days :) so far I've worn it for business events, formal events, and casual events, with purple, green, gray, black, and white, and it never fails to look gorgeous!
