Man, I've had some of these pics for over a month! My bad. Here are some reviews, better late than never, I guess?
First up, the
olympia suede wedges, which are currently $119.99 before the 30% off. I love a good, low wedge. I am actually thinking of selling off most of my heels, except of course for my beloved penelopes and other gems from 2008...
I got the bright persimmon, hoping it would be bright, not as dull as it is pictured.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I still like them, but I was just hoping for a less "blah" shade. Here you can see how different the color is from my Juliets and vibrant flame tippi. The fit is a little weird too. I have high arches so I rarely have the problem of straps being loose, but the third strap (the one below the ankle strap) is really loose!
See what I mean? In spite of my negativity, I do really love these and decided to keep them. The dull shade actually goes with alot more in my closet. But beware if you have low arches they will probably be too loose on you.
Next up was a factory item that I added to my order on a whim, hoping it would be perfect for an upcoming wedding. It is on sale for $49.99 right now, although as of this moment it is sold out. I'm talking about the
factory schuyler candy wrap dress. The online photos do not do this lovely dress justice. I thought the waist would be too high, it'd be cheap, etc, but no. It is lovely, substantial material and I think it fits quite well. I took my normal size 6.
Ok, so it's short, but it's a party dress so I don't mind! If this pops back, I highly recommend it. It's fun and very high quality, especially for factory. The pleating is very precise. It even has the little bra strap holders. I sort of wish I had gotten a 4 so the waist would be a little tighter, but oh well. More room for wedding cake!
Finally, the foulard print maxi dress. I can't seem to find this one online, but it's probably still out there in stores. I purchased mine about a month ago on sale. It is TTS and flatters your waist, but the top is quite poofy, which I don't mind. I got my normal size 6 and could not have gone any smaller because the fabric has absolutely no give.
One more! The
edie calf hair wallet! It lived up to my expectations, although I am not sure how durable it will be! It came in a big silver gift box, and is made of the same scratch prone leather as the Edie purses (the only downside). The calf hair is extremely soft and high quality and I just love the print. Gorgeous. The inner zipper is very nice quality and seems sturdy. Worth it on sale... I'm just not into paying $100+ for a freakin' wallet!
Well, what do you think? Have you purchased any of these items? Any other items catching your eye?
