 Old-fashioned charm and practical storage, August 5, 2009
After deciding to decorate my new master bathroom in a soft, old-beach-house style, this towel cabinet became the obvious choice on which to place an old-fashioned small lamp (also Target), some eroded sea shells, a small vase with sea grass, and some shell-filled potpourri. Hanging over it is a large picture of our family sitting by the dunes of an NC beach. I was trying to create old-beach-house-ambience, and this cabinet is the key! Its softly frosted striated glass doors contribute to the mood it helps to set. I changed out the chrome handles for imitation cut glass (also Target) and now this little scene gives a refreshing, quaint welcome to my shower room. Easy assembly, very fast, good quality components. A great buy for the price!

You won't be sorry!, July 17, 2009
Can a stick vac be a blessing? If so, this one IS! I was a bit cautious about ordering it because of some negative comments. It's a massive improvement over the commonly-known $ sweeper that uses special paper pads to assist in pick-up. I was burning out one of those a year and needed something more powerful and reliable. This is it, if you don't want to pay $ for a "platinum" stick vac. It is a little work horse, and picks up tons of dog hair every day from our two Goldens and one Shepherd! It is very light-weight and I use it daily on the wood staircase, as well as in all the corners and under the furniture where the dog hair clumps. WOW! Kudos to any stick vac that can keep up with my cleaning needs!

 Cute and comfy!, July 17, 2009
I am happy to have this skort that looks more like a cute khaki skirt. It is amazingly comfortable and is nice to pop on for a quick trip out to the store. I will be ordering it in another color.

LONG assembly time!, July 17, 2009
This is a really cute cabinet, but as noted in another review, the assembly time is much longer than anyone would like! Also, the doors gap slightly in the center, giving the piece a cheaper appearance. It worked out great in the narrow space where I needed to use it, and gives the soft green walls the red accent I needed, but I believe it's a little overpriced for the quality and the pain in the neck of its assembly. Still, with white and dark pine green towels displayed, it looks wonderful.

Gorgeous, elegant, versatile, January 31, 2008
I am SO distressed that the only size left (which I ordered, just in case!) is too small for me. This coat is adorable, classy, well made, and - did I say adorable? Dress it up or dress it down, leave the fur on or take it off - you'll have a GORGEOUS coat for a fraction of what you'd pay anywhere else. I am jealous of whoever gets the one that didn't fit me. Sighhhhh.....

 Ugh. Clunky., January 31, 2008
The picture doesn't show the true "clunkiness" of this heavy, graceless shoe. In reality, it doesn't look nearly as delicate as it appears online. Avoid this - it's heavy and ungainly. The quality of the patent leather seems very nice, though, like all Isaac Mizrahi patent shoes.

Very, very chic!, January 31, 2008
These are exactly the style of shoes I search for! They're VERY chic, look MUCH more expensive than can be seen in the picture - the platform and heel are patent! Unfortunately they DO run big, and I need to order 1/2 size smaller despite my wide feet. They're just too long and show MUCH too much toe cleavage! But I love the way they're designed!

Great shade and design, but . . ., January 31, 2008
I guess it's just how they fit me, but the back heel rise seems high and bites me in the achilles tendon. Owwww. The color is a deeper red, and they look far more expensive than they are! Sorry they don't fit because they're darling.

 Slippery strap on a cute tote, January 31, 2008
This tote is VERY cute, VERY chic, quite large! I love the color, construction, appearance, even the leopard lining. I would have given this five stars - BUT the shoulder strap BARELY fits on the shoulder, and it's so slippery (the bag being vinyl, not leather) that it is very difficult to keep on the shoulder. If the strap drop were only 2 to 3 inches longer it would be a keeper, but I sadly will have to return this adorable bag because carrying it would drive me insane with it falling off my shoulder at odd moments.

Not what I expected, January 27, 2008
I bought two online in colors not available locally. I just couldn't make this coat work for me. The green was NOT what appears on this web site, although the "afternoon tea" was the right color. The fit is looser in the top and tight through the hips; I am only moderately a "pear" and a large should have fit all over, but it didn't. I didn't like the quality of the fabric - I thought it looked like a cheaper imitation wool with a somewhat rough weave. I returned the coats.
