Beautiful necklace!
This necklace is gorgeous and a show stopper. It is hard to pull off casually, but would look amazing with a more formal dress/outfit. It is heavy, but not uncomfortable to wear. The stones have gorgeous gold veins running organically through them, making each stone unique.

Delicate, beautiful
Gorgeous piece of jewelry. It is nothing super unique or special but just a great accessory to class up any outfit. Thin and lightweight but does not look cheap. Easily adjustable to fit perfectly.

Gorgeously Detailed
I LOVE this. In the trend category of seperntine jewelry, this bracelet takes the cake. It is just so cool. The silver and patina are not shiny, which fits the grungy/boho aesthetic. The bracelet is heavy, but not uncomfortable. It is large and can be pushed up far on the arm for a cuff like look (as pictured on the model) or left to dangle low on the wrist. Even with my small hands and wrists, I don't have a problem with it falling off. The gap between the head and tail is the perfect width and never does that annoying pinch that I experience with a lot of open cuffed bracelets. The details are so stunningly etched- the snake skin texture, the subtle diamondback pattern on the snake's back, the realistic head... my boyfriend has snake-phobia and can't stand looking at this bracelet!

Unique and Luxe
This is a great bib necklace. The jewels/stones are all sewn to a felt like material, so it is much lighter in weight than I expected. Often I find that the weight of my jewelry determines whether a piece feels cheap(light) or expensive(heavy), but this still felt luxe. The colors are really pretty and complimentary to one another. This piece can really be dressed up or down. The clasp also makes it very adjustable so it can be worn really tight, like a collar, or a little lower and looser. Such a versatile piece, with a lot of style and personality.

LOVE this bag!
This bag is amazing. I received it in my unlimitied package and I will be keeping it for a LONG time... Sorry everyone! The color is gorgeous: rich bordeaux/oxblood/garnet/any deep dark purplish red you can imagine. It is the perfect fall color and, in my opinion, pairs well with pretty much everything. The leather is soft but durable; no scratches or wear yet, and I've been using it daily. The brushed gold studded accents are subtle and lovely, not tacky or cheap looking at all. I think the size is perfect. It's not too big, but definitely not small. It fits everything I would put my purse, inlcuding kindle and electronics, plus lots of extra room to tote things like a large water bottle or tupperware or shopping contents. My only complaint is that the inside is unlined, kind of like a suede, that occasionally sheds onto the contents of my bag. I'll take my phone out and it will have lots of red fuzzies stuck to it.

Ouch!
These just didn't work at all. The look adorable in the pictures and in real life in the box. However, the pointy x-shaped cuff was so sharp and I was unable to adjust it's opening. I tried to squeeze it onto my ear, but ouch! I thought I was about to pierce my cartilage for real! The thicker cuff was much easier to pry open and shut, but still painful on the ear.

Gorgeous color and print
This little clutch is beautiful. The print is stunning. The satin material is dressy and would look great with an cocktail dress/evening gown, but I couldn't find a casual occasion where it was appropriate.

Fun Necklace!
This piece is on trend and fun. Love the neon rope. My only complaint is that it is heavy and the white lacquer part felt like it was sticking to my skin (although, in this humidity pretty much everything does!).

Nothing special
I thought they looked cheap. They were very shiny. The two thicker/circular ones were not adjustable and kept falling off my wrist.

Fit Perfectly, Tons of Compliments, Very Versatile
This dress fit like it was made for me. If you have similiar measurements, you need to get this dress! The waist hit at just the right spot to be flattering, the black panels slimmed me, the length was flirty yet appropriate, and I was able to wear a strapless bra comfortably. The colors are pretty accurate to the pictures on the model. They aren't too bright (I'm not usually a fan of orange) but they aren't muted or dated looking. I wore this with black heels and a clutch to a birthday party (dressed up), and then again that evening to a play with black and tan sandals and my everyday tan bag (dressed down) and both looked great.

A Well-Fitted Shift!
I titled this review "A Well-Fitted Shift!" because, honestly, how hard is that to come by?! I thought for sure that this would look like a sack, but ended up so pleasantly surprised by the fit of this dress. I rented the 0 and the 2, and went with the 0. I didn't find much of a difference in the sizing in the bust and hips, but the waist was more defined in the 0. I was impressed that it kept the shape of a shift, but still gently hugged curves and nipped in a little at the waist, so that from the side angle it wasn't just a balloon of fabric. The sea horses are not metallic silver screen print as I was expecting, but has a mix of grey, white, and silver so that it has dimension yet still some subtlety.

SO SHORT
I went back and read all of the reviews, paying careful attention to people's measurements and I have to say, I do not understand how anyone my size (or anyone taller!) was able to pull off this dress! I am SO perplexed. I am absolutely no stranger to a short dress, but I could not justifiably wear this in public, especially to a wedding. Because the dress poofs out, it feels even shorter than it looks. I was so excited for this dress and I wanted to love it so much. Also, length aside, it felt like this dress runs small. I am usually a 0, but the 0 was really tight all over, the 2 worked but was still snug, especially in the arms, and I think a 4 would have worked too.

Fun statement piece
When this necklace arrived as my Mystery Bling, I was initially disappointed. I am not a fan of pearls, especially oversized pearls, as I usually find them to look tacky. However, I actually ended up liking the necklace! The rhinestones at the top add even more fun and I like the cascading sizes of pearls. The largest pearls weren't as large as they look in the picture. I had an issue when putting it on with getting the rhinestones to lie flat, but I eventually was able to get it so that they didn't twist. I didn't end up wearing the necklace, but I think with the right dress, this necklace could be a big success. If you love pearls, this one is for you!

Awkward Fit - Not ideal if you are petite with a large bust
I ordered this as my backup dress because while it wasn't exactly love at first sight when browsing, it seemed that the reviews were all raving and that there wouldn't be a problem with the fit. It felt like a safe choice. When it arrived, I wasn't wowed but I could still see it as a possibility. The color was overall pretty and great for fall, but it didn't look as rich and jewel toned as in the pictures. It seemed a little washed out, maybe because of the wear it has received. One positive, the length was perfect on my 5' almost 4" frame. A very appropriate length for a wedding - probably 3-4" above the knee, just the right spot to lengthen my legs but not be too short. The real issue for me was the bust, which was too tight and really unflattering. There is elastic as the neckline that makes the neckline hug close to your chest. My boobs were flattened and squished together into a uniboob. I thought "Ok, so I'll look a little flat chested, not a big problem", until I turned to view my profile and I had what I could only describe as a boob muffin top.... NOT cute. A larger size may have solved the bust issue, but the stomach and waist area were already too loose to show any definition of the waist, so I would not want to go up a size. Also, one of my favorite parts of the dress in pictures was the back, so I was disappointed to find that the back/sleeves did not lay flat for me.

Very fun, very flattering fit - great summer time dress!
I rented this for a wedding and had a really hard time deciding between wearing this dress or a more formal dress that I borrowed from a friend. In the end, I was worried that this dress was too casual, so I picked my friend's dress, as it was dressier and coordinated better with my date's tux. The thick knit material of this dress is extremely comfortable. However, the material is what keeps it from being dressier. The fit and flare style, as well as the material, is very flattering and it's easy and comfortable to wear with a regular bra. Also note that the dress is teal and navy. In person, it is clearly blue and not black. I had a hard time telling the difference between the 0 and the 2 and the dress has a lot of stretch to it, so I wouldn't stress about which size to order. Overall, I really liked this dress and wish I had had another occasion to wear it before I had to send it back.

Less dressy than I expected
I really wanted to LOVE this necklace. I ordered it to wear with the Opening Ceremony Grid Lines dress, as it is styled on the model. I hoped the necklace would really dress my outfit up, as I saw that the dress could fall on the more casual side. Unfortunately, it didn't do much for me and didn't stand out as much as I'd hoped. While I loved the emerald color, I felt that the jewels were lackluster and a bit muted. They looked more like plastic than emeralds. The chain was heavy and a brushed gold/brassy color. I was shocked to see that it is a $340 necklace - it looked cheap to me.
