yay, menswear, but for me!
I love a good oversized shirt, and this is no exception. I sized down and was glad I did--this fit me perfectly. My only isue is there was a tear in the shirt along the buttons/shirt cuff (probably from being rented a lot). Otherwise, seemed like a high quality shirt that I would buy if I were rich. Randomly, I met Evander Holyfield at my bed and breakfast in New Orleans while wearing this shirt, so it shall live on forever.

a delightful blazer.
Great quality and a fun pattern. The shoulder pads were strange for me, but I got used to them and I think I pulled it off. I would buy this if it were not so expensive!

Unique lightweight blazer, great colors
I'm probably buying this. It's perfect for all seasons but winter. The colors are cream, black, and purple/maroon, kind of my wardrobe staples. I wore it to work and got tons of compliments. It elevates a black t shirt and pants/skirt outfit to a fun new level.

It's so, so warm
Unique sweater and also SO warm. This is only for winter; not fall, not spring. 60% merino wool/40% nylon but it's still a little itchy, so I wore a light longsleeved shirt underneath.

"You look like you're running for office."
My boyfriend saw me in this dress and said I looked like I was planning to run for office, so ... I looked great in it! I wore it to work and got many compliments. I think it needed a belt, though. It's a heavy fabric--definitely a winter dress. The material itself is a little scratchy on the underside. I wore tights and a cami under it but by the end of the day I was ready to not be wearing it anymore. Otherwise I would give it five stars. For being a small, I thought it was a little big in the waist, but not enough that it looked weird.

I didn't know what to do with the tie...
It was so nice but couldn't figure out how to make that neck tie work for me. I'm too petite to have all that fabric hanging around.

Once I got the right size, it was great.
I got the XS, fits perfect, and got about 5 compliments at work and loved this jacket. looove. It's so unique. at first it kind of looks like a sofa but it grows on you! previous review: My waist is 28-29 inches (I usually wear S/M and the button/waist section on this probably had 6 inches of extra fabric in that area). Shoulder area was also too big. SIZE DOWN. If I can get this in an XS, I will gladly wear it.

Love the fabric & weight, hate the cut!
This is a standout piece that looks incredible ... as long as it's not buttoned. The second you button it you realize it has no shape except a pure box cut. I am a size 4-6 and it made me look double my size when used purely as a winter coat. It's not the heaviest winter coat, either. I know this is "the look" right now, but pear shapes beware! This jacket does us no favors. There's so much extra fabric around the middle. I wore it around my office kind of like a cardigan (open and flowy and got complimented on it).

True to size, looks amazing
I wore this twice, once to dinner with friends and once to work, and got compliments. The top is made of a mediumweight stretch fabric. If you wear it all day, you may get a little itchy. But it looks incredible paired with pretty much everything.

It's either glam or full-on witch, your choice!
1. Runs long! I'm 5'4" and it was definitely longer than I thought it would be, about mid-calf length (which I guess is how the picture shows it, but the model is wearing heels). 2. Super comfy and stretchy. I styled it with a lot of blingy silver pieces. 3. Because of how much fabric there is, you may want to avoid this if you are small-boned (like me). I felt like I got lost in the fabric, and the outfit got too witchy for me. But if you're into that... go for it!

Pretty top for casual Fridays and weekends.
Nice top, I was surprised by how much I liked the reddish-orange color on me. It fits big, but pretty sure that's on purpose. Very low cut--you'll need to wear a cami underneath. Material says it's 100% viscose, and it's super comfortable, but I would never purchase a $278 viscose shirt. Really, no one should.

Too large, but a beautiful blazer
I am a quintessential pear shape, and have pretty narrow shoulders. The S was far too large for me in the shoulders and the sleeves were too long. I recommend sizing one size down. It is a beautiful blazer, love the look, construction, and fabric. I wish I would've gotten the XS!

It's Hermione's magic purse--fits everything and is gorgeous.
I took this out of the bag and went, "eh, OK." Then I quickly realized that the color of it means it goes with everything in your closet. It's not a huge bag (it's pretty slim), but I was amazed at how much I could fit into it without overstuffing it. Currently it's holding a reusable shopping bag, my makeup zipper bag, my giant Hobo wallet, a small umbrella, gloves and a crochet headband, keys, phone, Kleenex, etc and it's still not really full. It's beautiful and magic and I want to keep it forever.
