Rainy day cheer
" Super-cute rain boots that combine fashion and function. The cheerful print is reminiscent of Peter Max.
I agree with other reviewers who noted they do run run short: I typically wear a 7.5 or 8; a 7 was a perfect fit. The slightly short height and side gusset provided a perfect fit for my "athletic" (large) calves.

SHINY orange half!
" This witty wristlet is classic Betsey Johnson: flat-out cute, and even more adorable in person. What the photo doesn't show: the obverse is a rigid plastic / vinyl dome -- thus, this wristlet really *is* an orange half.
Wristlets by their nature don't hold much but the problem with this particular one is that the zipper only opens so far. I fear this petite cutie will show wear early if care isn't used while inserting and removing even small items. Belongings will bang around and loosely jostle inside the domed interior as it has no compartments or any other way to secure items. Even if not a practical design, wristlets don't get much cuter than this one.

Peacock-gorgeous
" I couldn't pass these satin show-stoppers up: they are as elegant as they are comfortable! No photo can do the "Elza" justice. The rich color is more of a peacock blue (not a "teal"). The crystals? A beautiful multi-hued aurora borealis (not silver). Snatch these up, ladies -- you can't go wrong.

Boho chic
" The adorable burn-out fabric flower really makes these sandals. The rockered "wood" sole is also comfortable and cute and is easy to walk in. Studs on the footbed cause some friction, so minus one point for that.
Typically I wear a 7.5 or 8. I ordered an 8, which was slightly. too short.

Super cute
" Adorable, really truly adorable -- but because of the minimal-strap design my foot wasn't secured enough. I felt like I was going to walk right out of these sandals and found myself clenching my toes in an unconscious effort to avoid doing that so. Thus, minus one star for fit.
I typically wear an 8 or 8.5 in flats and sandals. These were an 8. I'm not sure if my "floppy" experience was the result of the length as they run long, or the design itself. I have other very flat sandals similar to these but do not have this problem with those. Sadly, back these go the MANY MOONS -- but I'm going to see if a smaller size helps because they are so cute.

Knock 'em dead
" I got these in Cinnamon: beige suede, highlighted to perfection by amber, champagne, pale peach, and silver stones. They are drop-dead gorgeous and make your legs look long and feet tiny.
The ball of the foot is slightly narrow, and length is slightly. long, which is a typical Zigi Soho fit. Due to the height and the narrow ball, these aren't the most comfortable pumps I own -- (hence, minus one star) -- but who cares? The Goddess is so stunning that I am willing to suffer a little for fashion.

Heavy sigh
" I wanted these adorable flats to work -- I really, really did. They were exactly what I was looking for: a summery flat platform.
They were VERY cute on. Alas, they were also incredibly painful. Not only did the sides cut into my ankle bones, the ball of the foot so narrow I had lingering aches even after I took them off.
I tried several pairs over several separate trips to the store. Still no luck: it became clear that this style didn't fit my particular foot. I even considered a shoe inset but decided that wouldn't help the ball-of-foot problem, so finally gave up. Heavy sigh.
I typically wear an 8 or 8.5 in flats. If I had been more able to suffer for fashion, I would have taken 8's in these.

Love at first sight!
" No photo can do these beauties true justice! They are delicate and dressy -- perfect to set off a summer dress at a garden wedding. Surprisingly, they look just as amazing with jeans. I love them!
Like all Zigi's, they run slightly narrow across the ball of the foot but not enough to be a deal-breaker. The chiffon "petals" have very delicate beading around the perimeter; watch the workmanship or be able to do a simple repair to reinforce the whipstich securing the teeny-tiny gold beads.
I typically wear a 7.5 or 8, and ended up with an 8 for a near-perfect fit (slightly narrow across the ball of the foot, but very workable).

For the Win!
" Last winter I purchased the "dark" version of this flat -- and love them so much that when a "summer" version came out, I snapped 'em right up.
There is SO MUCH right about this shoe. It has far better "structure" than flats over twice its price, including that the sole is a "real" sole that will hold up to abrasion and wear. The toe box is deep and wide enough so it never pinches, even after a long day at work. Styling is versatile, cute -- and makes your feet look really, really tiny.
A caution: examine the chain, pearl, and rhinestone application. Some are attached unevenly.
Sizing: I typically wear a 7.5 in a pump, and an 8 or 8.5 in a flat. With these, an 8 was a perfect fit.
Bottom line: I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE these flats and always look forward to wearing them.

Cute but....
" Cute, casual bag. It holds lots -- the many outside pockets are handy for ease of organization, and the convertible straps are a big plus -- but durability was a big concern. I needed it for a trip and had second thoughts about how well it would stand up to being overstuffed and heavily loaded.
In all fairness, this bag was not designed to be abused the way a shopper or tote is. I worried that the leather straps would pull off from the soft sweater knit. There was also no way to clean it.
So, sadly, back it went -- but only because it probably couldn't stand up to my intended use However, for a less intensive use, this bag is a real winner.

Worth the wait!
" I saw these shoes about a year ago & immediately fell in love with, but my size was sold out. I was soooo happy when they were offered again! I snapped up royal blue suede. They are beautiful -- so classy and elegant, yet comfortable. Ladies, these pumps are flat-out adorable.
I typically wear a 7.5, and ended up with a 7.5. The construction is nice, and the BOWIE looks more expensive than it is.
I'm hoping the BOWIE will be offered again in fuschia. Knowing that she who hesitates is lost, I'll snatch up a second pair in that color too, as they are so great in all respects, and really polish a look.

An unholy passion
" The antiqued metal buckles on these unique boots made me covet them with an unholy passion. I was not disappointed! While not the most comfortable boots I own, they are among the most eye-popping. If you favor a steampunk, goth, or Victorian sensibility -- check 'em out.
Construction: the suede is a little softer than expected but it hasn't been a issue. Because I have very high arches and thus there is some strain on both suede and buckles where they latch across that area, I was initially a little concerned about the hardware pulling out. But -- no problems so far. The blocky heel is easy and stable to walk in.
If the design had included a small interior platform, the heel height wouldn't feel so high, and extended wearing would be more more comfortable. A cushioned footbed would have also helped. But, all told, they aren't too bad although 4-5 hours is about my limit.
Bottom line: I adore these boots but took 1 star off for comfort.

For the Win!
" These flats have it all! The shoe itself is simply adorable -- I got incredible numbers of compliments at work. It didn't hurt that their design makes your feet look itty-bitty tiny. And comfort? The wide toe is very forgiving & doesn't pinch like so many "pointier" flats do.
No photo can do this shoe justice: a row of rhinestones nestles next to a row of pearls adorning the top. They look GREAT with either dresses or jeans.
Unlike so many flats, these are actually *constructed*, with a real sole that will last. It is also grippy rubber that offers some cushion.
Size: like nearly all flats, consider sizing up. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes. For these, an 8 was a perfect fit.

Reprise
" This is my second pair of the SM "Heaven" flats: several years ago I purchased the style with flat sequins. They've been such a winner that I purchased this style, with heaver sequining. They look great with *everything*, including adding a bit a flash to jeans.
There is not much support -- they truly are "flats", but the vamp is wide and deep enough so that my toes aren't pinched.

Not much to add
" The other rev reviewers have already said it all: GREAT bootie. Super-comfy; looks cute. Easy on & off with the side zipper. The only things I can add are: 1) Adjustable -- the ankle strap allows some slight fit personalization. 2) Versatile -- these booties look great with leggings as well as under boot cut jeans.

Versatile & cute
" As flats go, this one is a little more supportive and constructed than most. This classic style will look good forever, and with a variety of outfits from dressy to casual. The crystals have lots of sparkle but aren't blinding. They also seem very well adhered: I haven't lost a single stone yet.

Adorable -- but way too small
" These are gorgeous leggings -- really, really darling, and perfect for so many winter outfits. Both the Pewter & the Brick Red colors are beautiful. The Brick Red is more of a maroon than its name suggests.
Sadly, I must return them because they run extremely small. They are nice and thick, but the pattern becomes obliterated if they need to stretch at all -- which they will, unless you are ordinarily a size Small, but order them in a Med-Lg.
The "stretchiness" also seemed low: I don't know if they will bag, because they were so small I couldn't wear them. How disappointing!

Street slippers
" The "Shimmie" is as cute as it is comfortable! Ever get the urge to wear bedroom slippers out of the house? This is your shoe! Super-super casual, it is perfect for running errands on a dry day. I typically wear a 7.5 or 8, and ended up with an 8. The toe box is shallow, but the width & stretchiness of the sweater-knit make up for that. These construction is very forgiving to a variety of foot shapes (although not supportive).
These cuties won't last forever, but at the great price, who cares?

Winter fun!
" These boots are not only adorable, they are toasty-warm too! The calf is wide enough to accommodate my athletic (muscular) calves -- something that many boots can't do, especially when wearing leggings or jeans. The pom-poms tend to come untied easily -- a minor annoyance, but certainly not a deal-breaker. Just double knot 'em and you are good to go.

Easy on the feet; easy on the eyes
" Supportive, good-looking, versatile, well-constructed: this shoe handles parking lots, malls, and dirt trails with aplomb. While the WW646 is a little more narrow in the forefoot than I would have expected for a shoe of this type, it is still very comfortable and does the job. I was able to wear them for hours straight out of the box without pain or blisters.
