This is a beautiful dress and a nice material, but... I'm a size 10 girl with 'normal' proportions, and the top was a little too, how do you say it... 'risque' for me. If you are, uh, 'smaller on top' then, go for it!

I got this (actually on WhiskeyMilitia, but its probably about that price now) and realized that I already had a black jumper... but buyers remorse was unable to set in because it was TOO CUTE TO RETURN! Argh. So I kept it and now I wear it about once a week... oops.

I got this shirt without really knowing what to expect, but I really like it. The two-toned fabric style is really different and it almost has more of a peasant-look than you think from the picture. It fits true to size too!

I am with the other reviewer -- It is a bit short, but its way cute! I really like it, and I'll wear it all the time. I definitely feel slammin' when wearing it.

I was pretty excited about this dress. Its a beautiful color and a cute style. However, when it arrived, it wasn't exactly all that. For the size, it was SUPER long, and clingy in a few of the wrong places. I was kind of bummed that I wasn't 3 inches taller (I'm 5'5") or 20 pounds lighter (I'm a size 10). If you have none dimensions, go for it... I would be jealous.

I think its the extra 'a' in the name that keeps it a little more grounded... either that or the fact that its sweatshirt instead of a painting. Anyway, its pretty "realy" -- cozy, comfortable, and true to size. The sleeves are a little odd, but it's cute.

I was kind of stoked on these socks, and they are definitely lightweight, cute, etc. but I had to return them. My shoe size is a 7.5/8.0 and I bought the medium (judging off the other review on them, and the style). When I put them on, the heel was on my ankle! They were just too big in the toes, and around. I think next time I'll get the small size.

Top reasons I like these socks: 1. They are purple. 2. They are socks with a separate toe section. 3. Yeah, a toe section--thats what I wrote. I got myself a pair of these because I couldn't believe that they would be comfortable, but I then wore them four days in a row (with flipflops) after the sun went down at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I couldn't believe how much I liked them. They are warm, they fit, they don't bug my toes, and they are purple! Also, they didn't smell as bad as I thought they would after 4 days of festival-ing.

Initially, I was all about the BOA version of the Arnuva's, and then I realized that, well, they ate my feet when I wore low socks. I ended up getting a pair of these instead and they are SO much better! My feet are happy because they don't have that dumb dial in the back. The width, size, and cushion of them is excellent... and they are still really lightweight and have held up to distances between 3 and 9 miles on trail and on the road. The blue color is kind of girly, but isn't as bad as some choices out there. All in all, really pleased with them!

Bad Puns aside, this is a pretty sweet watch. I needed something that was a little more casual then a Suunto, but not quite a bad boy nixon watch. This watch fulfills that niche. The blue color is really cool, and it tells time accurately (important, eh?). The only downfall is that its made for a fatter wrists; I'm on the smallest hole.

I was scoping out tees for awhile, and got this because I liked the color combo and wanted to try out the long-tee thing. Its cut a bit longer than I expected--some times you see those pictures and you think they are just "stretched"--this one is that long. Anyway, I'm keeping it because its really cute and fits well.

I truly wish that I was able to wear those knee length shorts that seem to be all the rage, but seriously, I don't have the calves for it. Luckily there are cropped pants like these that are really cute and stylish, and don't make my calves look fat. In fact, these pants are the perfect length. They are also true to size, with enough low rise that they sit comfortably. The brown color is really different, and the fabric is really soft. The pockets on the back are great accents, and I got compliments both times that I wore them.

I really like these sandals. I have a few variations from other companies (Gravis, etc.) and these seem to be holding up better than some of their competitors. I don't find them slippery like the other review, but maybe I'm more used to walking around barefoot and I'm carrying a bit more grit around in general. They fit true to size, and I like that they are wide enough for my feet, but still look dainty.

I've written about the men's ones already (hint: They are the same shoes!) but figured I wanted to/needed to expound about these shoes because, really, you can't go wrong with a pair of these. They have style (dots/stripes/checks!), they have comfort (I've worn them many days in a row, and love them) and they fit true to size (the exchange rate, of course). All in all, I need more patterns!

80% of my life I'm pretty restrained. I go to work at my desk job; I geek-out on numbers; and (I almost hate to admit) love it when my excel spreadsheets do what I want them to! The other 20% of the time, I play hard with friends and fam as much as I can. What it adds up to is that I'm pretty intense in work and life and this shirt/hoody/vest multi-tasking genius of fashion and function fits right in how I need it to. Its little bit more than just a shirt, but isn't too out there for the office world. I can style out with the long length and big waist-band; I can play a little with the hoody and stitching across the chest; and I can look super cute cause it fits true to size. Its never wrong--just like me.

So I heard that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to be back on the big screen in the next few months, and that means their foe -- Splinter -- will also be back. Now, I'm a pacifist and a girl, and really, Splinter doesn't do it for me, but this tee does. It fits true to size, and has a sweet plunging neckline and a cute flowers... I mean, what rat would wear flowers? But the turtles, they are artists; they would appreciate the flowers.

I needed a 'black belt' but my membership to J.Crew and the Gap only provided 'lame' and otherwise 'boring' belt options. When I saw this belt, I knew that I could fulfill my basic belt needs while simultaneously having the style that I've grown accustom to from this and other skate brands. The lettering is cute; it’s a little skinner than most of my other belts, but is up to the task. The gold buckle is fun and playful, but business-y in the right way. I will admit that the M/L is much more M than L, but works fine for a size 10.

I right there with the other reviewer who speaks of the 1/2 size too small issue. I have other Simple shoes (that have backs, and shoelaces, etc.) and those are true to size. However, I got these in that same size, and really wonder if I should exchange them because they are "perfect" but sometimes my heel hits the edge. As far as the rest of everything--these shoes are really cute, really comfortable and style-y. The color is really rich and makes these shoes classic enough to be wearable for work while the stitching on the front doesn't go around the whole shoe so it gives it a more unique look. In general, I'm quite pleased, but would be stoked if they were a little bigger.

In the dual between the two primary elements of design, I hoped for this mug to render a tie. I love coffee; I love backcountry.com. I would want my coffee mug to display for all to see the joy that both give me. Alas, that didn't happen, and I have to give it a three. The lid doesn't fit right and I spill every time I try to take a drink, so I end up not using the lid, which doesn't keep the coffee nearly as warm. If it worked right, I'd be stoked. *Disclaimer 1 - I know others with this mug, and they don't spill nearly as much as I do, so it might be "partially" user-error, but not all. *Disclaimer 2 - I didn't mean to rhyme, but it entertains me, so I'll keep it.

This is great pack; I've used it for every type of hike. For a couple summers I worked as a ranger at Philmont and this pack started off as a "I'll risk it and try to pack this light" and then it turned into, "why take anything else?" If you are out for short time, it'll fit everything. If you have less group gear, you can make it work. Its very streamline and minimalist, it just all around solid. It also fits in the overhead compartments on airplanes, so its awesome for those short trips home.

Ok, so I don't have kids of my own, but that just means that I can spoil my nephew who is now 6 months old. And, though my sister is tiny, he is a 'healthy' baby. Therefore, when I got this for him for Christmas, I really should have sized up. Even though I have to exchange it, I'm still super stoked on these overalls. They are very soft, have great snaps on the under-part, and are all around the cutest thing ever! Thanks!

Its mellow exterior aside, this stove rages with the inferno of many stoves! Simmering is indeed difficult, but not impossible (I baked cinnamon buns a few times on this puppy.) I used this on NOLS for 28 days, and didn't dread having to work with it ever. Its SO easy to use, lightweight, and easy to clean. Though I now have a Jetboil, the whisperlite will continue to be a classic way to prepare any number of dishes for a larger group.

These bindings are very responsive, and great! I've been super happy with their performance and ease of use. Everything is dialed while wearing the stilettos.

Good enough for me! Ok, So Dean, where do I begin? You run marathons--ultras, Badwaters, 50 marathons in 50 days and these are YOUR SHOES! And that, alone, was kind of why I got them. However, little did I realize that if you don't look like a small, greek, negligible fat-percent ultra-marathoner, you probably won't run like one either. So, well I like these for 3-8 mile runs, I wasn't a big fan of them for anything longer. Another Dean-obsessed friend of mine is more built like him (not greek, but no-fat) and she LOVES them. I'll probably still run marathons in Brooks Adrenalin's, but these are pretty good to rotate into the mix. They also fit true to size and I did like the BOA system.
