 HUGE, September 30, 2009
The fabric itself is comfortable & very lightweight... But the foldover band is awful. As strange as this sounds... it feels like it has a 4 inch wide sheet of cardboard in the band to hold it's shape. These pants run WAY bigger than your normal size... so I'd recommend considering stepping down atleast 1 size... if not 2 whole sizes than your used to. I got them in the same size as all my other maternity pants and they literally fall off me!!! I should've gone with a MUCH smaller size....

Cuter on the hanger..., September 30, 2009
I have this top in brown. The fabric itself is pretty comfortable (silky) but the fit is terrible. The other reviews are pretty accurate about the circus tent feel... I guess it's made that way because it has literally NO stretch to it! And every pregnant woman knows that stretch is a MUST! So when you position your arms (think driving..) it feels like the sleeves are cutting off your circulation!! The belly area is roomy (hence the tent) But the breast area is TINY!! I got this top in the same size as all my other Liz tops that fit fine... But this one is just wrong! The breast pleat area that SHOULD fit snuggly UNDER your breasts.... instead lays on your nipples.... giving you a really weird fit if you can imagine... So, like I said before... This top is really cute on the hanger... too bad it has to stay there... ;(

 Hmm..., July 23, 2009
I bought this top last minute on my way to a water park and I just wasn't really happy with it. I guess at the end of the day it did it's job... However if I could go back in time I would have def chosen something diferent! It's a cute top, but I noticed right after getting it wet the first time that the black neckline hem started to stretch and actually morph into this flappy weird ruffled look. I even tried to tuck in the black hem but that exposed a whole lotta boob.... Another complaint is that the belly flap will hover on the water surface. So if your uncomfortable about exposing your ever-growing belly, then this one is not for you! This being my first maternity top I was unsure if the next complaint is just a normal nusance. But everytime I came out of the water, it was like i was carrying a soaked beach towel around my waist. Instead of normal bathing suits where the water just breathes thru, for some reason this top soaks up water like a sponge!!! I was disapointed to say the least. O yea, and just in case you didn't already know, this doesn't come with bottoms.

 Cute & comfy, July 23, 2009
I purchased this top in white and also in blue.... I was a little worried at first about the white top, fearing that it may be see-thru, but I was pleasently suprised that it is not! The fabric is very comfortable, loose fitting, breathable, and stretchy. My only complaint is that on both tops while they fit everywhere else perfectly.... the neck's are really larger than needed and tend to sag and appear stretched. Although I would consider it a slight boat-neck, the shoulder length doesn't give enough restriction to keep it in place as it should be. So when it's worn it appears kinda sloppy. Also, I would reccomend this top for a mid-way thru or full-term pregnant belly. Otherwise the rope across the front doesn't have anything to lay across and just kinda hangs there awkwardly.

 Cuter on the hanger...., July 22, 2009
I have this top in brown. It's a silky-ish material with zero stretch. Although I do love the top on the hanger... it just doesn't "hang" right when worn. It has a barely noticeable (unless your wearing it) breast hem. However, even with tugging I can't seem to pull the hem below my bra. It's like the measurements between the top of the shoulder and below the breast are just really short. Therefore instead of a fitted look, it creates a frumpy one. The tie in the back is also not aligned to the front hem so it's pointless and creates a bulge above and below the tie. It's adorable when it's hanging in my closet ... too bad it will be left there throughout the remainder of my pregnancy.

 OUCH! lol, February 13, 2009
Ok, I don't have much weight to lose (about 10-15lbs) so I was more interested in the toning aspect of a program. MAN! I bought this dvd yesterday and have done the 1st level 3 x's so far. I did it twice last night and forced myself through it this morning before work. O my garsh... I am now broken. lol. I have never witnessed a fitness dvd that pushes you as hard as this one. You dont get any breaks... which I suppose is a good thing... but geez... lol. I'm trying to get past my hurdles and endure the entire work-out but it is just so intense! She is a beast, but really good at getting every muscle in your whole body involved. I took "before" pictures and I am not kidding, I can ALREADY see a difference as far as muscle defintion!!! My only con, is my own fault... I wish I'd gotten the 2lb weights instead of the 5lb ones, I'm thinking it MIGHT have made this process a little less horrific. Haven't yet ventured into the upper levels, I'm thinking level 1 is more than enough for now. If you have this dvd, you will never need to step foot in a gym again, guranteed!

Storage Ottoman - Brown

Very Nice, February 12, 2009
We love this ottoman! It looks awesome in our living room and matches the decor perfectly. Another plus is the folding latch. It doesn't just smack closed. It has a slow/soft closing feeling (you have to push it shut), which is important when you have small children around. We are using it as more of a bench than a footstool. It just looks too nice to throw your feet on!! O yea, it's also quite roomy inside. It will easily fit a comforter, pillow, and a few other linens. Great product!!

LOVE IT!, February 12, 2009
We LOVE this mixer! I can't help but feel like a professional chef with all the cool attachments this mixer comes with! I agree with the other posters about the power inside this little machine. It IS very powerful, even on the 1st speed level. The retractable cord is a giant plus too!!!

No complaints!!, February 12, 2009
No more gas station cappuccino runs!!! Me & my husband were worried this would be difficult to figure out since neither of us have ever brewed cappuccino ourselves. But we had no problems! This is actually a breeze. The instructions are very easy to understand. You can have 2 cups in about 5 minutes!!! You really can't beat that! In addition to the funcionality being awesome, this machine really looks way more expensive than it is.

Trudeau 18-Bottle Vertical Spice Rack

Nice Product!, February 12, 2009
We love the way our spice rack looks! It sits flesh against the wall so doesn't use much space. And it looks sleek, is sturdy, and is designed very well. However, my one complaint is this: some of the spices are ground to a powder-like substance, so much so, that I'm afraid to use some of them. They almost resemble a paste... But with that said, the spices that appear to be of regular consitency are awesome! Another plus: This collection includes things like chicken and steak seasoning.
