Customer Reviews

Great jeans!!!5
I hesitated a bit after reading other reviews, but was absolutely delighted when I tried these jeans on. I ordered "Blue Wave" and the color was true to what's shown here. The fit was terrific - perfect for me. I'm about 5 foot 6 1/2 tall and the medium was perfect. I think after about 5 foot 8, you may need to order tall. The fabric is not extremely thin as you would expect in "cheap" jeans, and after you wash them, it is soft. The color does rub a bit, but with dark new jeans, that is to be expected. They are very comfortable on me and I ordered them in my regular size, and they fit nicely.
The fit is not too tight, not too loose. The cut is flattering with slimming boot leg. The rise is medium - not hip-hugger and not up to the belly button.
I had two other pairs of jeans that I loved and they are starting to wear out so I needed to find a new pair to replace them. I am very pleased to say, I have a new favorite pair of jeans - my new Levi 515's. Great jeans, great price. What more could you ask for?
Provides a flattering profile and value for money!5
Over the years, I have tried several different brands of jeans, and Levi's seems to have had hits and misses when it comes to fitting me well. This cut, the 515 Bootcut, seems to really fit me well. There is no bunching in the back which creates an unsightly, unflattering view, and the bootcut helps to lengthen my legs. Not being blessed with 'perfect' leggy legs, I love the way this cut elongates my profile and fits me like a glove. A value buy!
Inconsistent Sizing3
I bought two pair of these jeans in the same order in two different colors. SAME SIZE. One pair fit perfectly and the other was way too small. Loves the pair that fit but the extreme difference in sizing from one color to another makes ordering additional pair a little dicey.

Deceiving Color1
First of all, the price is too high for the poor quality. The color I bought was eggplant. When I received it was more like a lavender color. Walking on the streets of NYC I found the same shawl in the same package for "$4.99" I couldn't believe it. Never Again would I buy from this seller. What a rip off!!!!!
Just OK for the price3
I bought the Kelly Green and the Royal Blue. Both are well represented, as far as the color. The Kelly Green might be SLIGHTLY brighter than the picture (not lime green, though), but both are very vibrant colors. I LOVE the colors! The quality is o.k., but what do you expect for this low price? For really high quality Pashmina wraps, you will pay $40+. I own one, and it's nice, but I can't spend that much on Christmas gifts. ;) This wrap has a nice sheen, and it feels smooth, but it doesn't look smooth. It looks kind of "ribbed". The thing I really don't like about it is the glued/taped on (not really sure) "Pashmina" tag. If it was sewed on, it would be nicer. They aren't even glued on straight. You can pull it off, but then sticky stuff is still on there. I'm sure it will come off eventually. The tag is just kind of annoying, as it is large and not on the edge. I bought these as gifts, but I'm not sure I'll give them as gifts. I might just keep them myself. I also bought some wraps from Olive & Figs, and I liked those a bit better (the tag was sewed on the edge). I paid less for them, and they threw in a scarf with my wrap! Those will make great gifts! I liked these colors, though, which is why I purchased these.
Pop of color5
I bought this shawl to take on a cruise to add a pop of color to my grey and black dresses at dinner. This shawl also offered some warmth in the chilly restaurant and for those strolls around the deck at night.

Best Sleep Bra for Nursing Moms4
The Medela Sleep Bra is by far the most comfortable sleep bra I have purchased and I have purchased many. Unfortunately it is difficult to know what will work best for you without trying every nursing bra out there.
The back is in an easy to wear racerback style with no clasps to mess with or lay on uncomfortably at night when you are trying to sleep. You just pull it over your head to put it on. The cups are draw back style so when you are up in the middle of the night to nurse your little one you don't have to fuss with clasps.
As some reviewers have mentioned, the fabric is thin, but I like that feature of this bra. It is 95% cotton with 5% spandex for that stretch we all need at times. You can put nursing pads in the cups, but I find them uncomfortable so I prefer to go without. If I get a little leakage during the night, it dries fairly quickly.
The sizing is on the small side, so if you are on a border size, I would order up. I'm a 38B and purchased the Medium at first. This one seemed too small. I exchanged for a Large and I'm much happier. In fact, I would say it is perfect. The manufacturers sizing chart isn't currently available on this page so I'll list it here.
32-34 A, B, & C = Small
36-38B, 36C, 32-34D, 34DD = Medium
40B, 3-40C, 36-38D, 36DD = Large
42B, 42C, 40D, 38-40DD = Extra Large
Sleep bras are a must, and this is a great, affordable one5
With my first baby, I hadn't really heard of sleep bras. At the beginning, when I was leaking and need to wear nursing pads 24/7, I just slept in my regular nursing bra. It wasn't terribly comfortable, and my top breast tended to "fall out the side," but I didn't really know there was another option. Once I was done with leaking at about 4 months, I just stopped wearing a bra to bed.
But when I was pregnant with my second daughter, I read that wearing a supportive bra round the clock while nursing can really help to minimize sagging later on. Now I am not overly vain, but still this appealed to me. So I went to Medela, because they were my favorite regular nursing bra, and I wasn't disappointed.
The Medela bra is a very thin, cotton and spandex, material. It is tagless (although the printed info on the back doesn't last more than a couple washings, so be sure to remember the washing instructions!). It is a pullover style with a racerback style and elastic around all the edges (neckline and armholes) for a really nice fit. It holds everything in comfortably, but is really easy access for sleepy moms and babies! It also does a great job at a uniform fit, without creating pressure points on the breast that can lead to plugged ducts and mastitis.
After several washes it was starting to seem a little more worn out than I expected, so I stopped putting it in the dryer and that seemed to improve. (In general, items with spandex should not go in the dryer to extend their life.) Because it's thin, it dries really fast hung on a chair. I wash them in a lingerie bag to keep things from getting tangled in them and stretching them out.
I have three sleep bras, which allows me to generally have one in use, one in the wash and one on backup for when the baby hits me with a large spit-up or surprise vomit during cold season!
What was a big surprise to me was how often I also wear them outside the house. They have a nicer line than a traditional pull-down panel, so I prefer them under thinner shirts. And while they won't contain any kind of major leaking, they can absorb spare drops of milk, and provide just enough pressure to contain the side the baby isn't nursing on (after the first few months go by). I especially like wearing them under turtlenecks or bulkier clothes because they are easy to pull aside without having to fish around under my clothes for clips and hooks. They are also great when baby is teething or clingy, so you don't feel like you are clipping and unclipping your bra all day long!
My one caveat would be for larger-breasted women. I am only about 36C while nursing, and I am not sure they would provide enough support for day wear, for women who are much larger. I think they would still be fine for nighttime wear. For daytime, larger-breasted women might want a bra without spandex to provide a more reliable line underneath clothing.
Having not had them for my first baby, and purchasing them for my second, I would say that for the price, sleep bras are a worthwhile investment for comfort and convenience. I believe that whatever makes nursing easier, makes it more likely to be successful and last longer, and the Medela Sleep bra definitely fits the bill for me.
Fantastic5
This is an awesome bra. Extremely comfortable. Easy to sleep in. I forget I have it on sometimes. I am currently a size 40C and size large fits me very comfortably. I also got an XL because in a couple of months, once a become a little more pregnant, the large won't fit anymore.
Another nice thing about this bra is that it actually keep your "ladies" separated. No uni-boob here.
The back is a "sports bra" style so the straps will not fall off your shoulders. No hooks in the back, very easy to put on and pull over your head. The back will not scrunch up when you put it on.
This doesn't add enough support to wear out and about. But it does give you enough support at home.
I'm sorry I didn't find this bra when I had my first baby. I struggled with other bras, from Motherhood Maternity; not anymore! This is definitely a great buy.

Leather cover5
Some folks protest that they like the feel of a book and that the Kindle doesn't have it...with this cover - it does.
I've seen and handled several Kindle covers and this one is by far the best.
It's comfortable and easy to handle. It does not get in the way.
BTW, it looks great!
A great way to protect your Kindle purchase5
After playing around with the idea, I finally went ahead an got a case for my Kindle. I like using my devices "naked", ie without cases, but overtime found that a case for my kindle was necessary as my commute bag is filled with things that could easily damage or scratch the surface of my reader.
I wanted something that looked good but was also fairly basic and not too bulky when sitting in my bag. This case fit my criteria on all accounts. It looks great from the outside and I love the smooth and supple feel of the leather (as well as the smell) and it is truly a pleasure to hold and read without getting tired of holding. The business card holder is a nice touch in case I accidentally leave it one the bus one day. The case is also good for privacy, because, I will admit, I am one of those who gets annoyed by others beside me reading along. The one thing to be wary of is that the case will get some nicks and dents. If you look closely (from normal wear and tear) there are small cuts and scratches that happen as a matter of usage. This does not bother me, and is barely noticeable, but it may bother others and it is worthwhile to note take note of this.
Now I will address some of the negative reviewers who erroneously state that this case does not fit the Kindle 2. THIS HOLDER FITS THE KINDLE 2. I will admit it is tricky to get it in. Here are the brief instructions. The top notch slides up and down to lock the Kindle securely into the cover.
1) place kindle in the bottom slot first.
2) slide down the notch on the top completely
3) slide the Kindle into the top notch
4) slide the notch back up to lock the device securely into the cover.
These instructions will make more sense once you have both devices in front of you. The big point is the top notch slides down to line up with the built in slots in the Kindle.
If you own a Kindle 6" GET THIS COVER!5
When I bought my Kindle (6"), I got the standard Amazon cover. It was not long before I was looking for something a bit ... nicer.
I bought the Cole Haan Hand-Stained Smooth Leather Kindle Cover and was delighted by the construction. No cheapo corner clips; it attaches on the side with a strong metal clasp!
I bought the cover for the look and feel, but a few months in, I keep the cover on for much much more. I'm so thankful the cover takes all the abuse and not my Kindle! Don't get me wrong, the cover still looks and feels GREAT, but I am SO GLAD I have the Cole Haan cover protecting my Kindle!
The inside is soft leather with a little pocket for your business card (nice). The Kindle screen could not be more protected. The cover also flips back "behind" the Kindle (if you want) making it disappear when you are reading.
Seriously, if Cole Haan made a cover like this for the 9" Kindle, I'd buy the Kindle DX in a blink! That's how much I like this cover!

COZY and LIGHTWEIGHT5
I purchased the black and white checked version which looks super with my black dress coat. I also have the brown and black one to wear with my run-around jacket. When they arrived, because they are so lightweight, I wrongly assumed they would not be warm enough for a Michigan winter. I was sooooo wrong. These scarves are incredibly thin and lightweight yet very insulating. The length is perfect -- not too short and not too long. My gentleman friend has taken over my scarves! I am back to buy more, but this time I will get a few 'girlie' colors so he'll keep his hands off! What a great accessory to have in conservative styles for work and some fun ones for play.
LOVE THIS SCARF!5
I needed a scarf my my roadtrip back to the northeast this December and found this one that had only two reviews, but it seemed they both were happy with their purchase so I went for it... I love this scarf! it feels so soft- unlike many itchy scarves we all have had at some point. Its the perfect length to wear it doubled up and through the loop or wear it loose around your neck. Great product- I might even buy more color's before I leave!
My Vintage Scarf5
I am completly passionate about finding and puchasing this vintage scarf from amazon.com. I was shopping in London, England where I had bought the same scarf as this. During the summer months, I will keep it in a solid-wood cabinet, laying a bounce dryer sheet under neith it. Thanks to the people at amazon.com for there excellent customer service.KKennedy

Customer Reviews

Good but lack durability3
I am training for a 50 mile ultra marathon and thought I'd try the Injinji socks for my long training runs. They have been great for stopping blisters but I already have a hole in the socks. I've done 2 long runs that took about 7 hours and 3 shorter runs that took 2-3 hours. Even for performance wear I expect a $12 pair of socks to last longer than a 12 pack of equivalently priced socks from Target. Good product that works but a major quality issue that doesn't match the price point.
I love these socks!5
I bought these socks to wear with my Vibram five fingers shoes. They fit perfectly with the shoes and keep my feet comfortable and dry. I don't like the feeling of shoes with no socks. My only wish is that they were cheaper! I would like to own several more pairs but the price is holding me back.
Injinji's4
These socks do the best to prevent blisters although they aren't 100% fool proof. I have a bunion on one foot so it is more prone to blisters because one toe rides on top of the other. The injinji's help alot but sometimes I would still get blisters. (I do marathon training). When I use a powder called "Blister Shield" along with my Injinji's I never have a problem. The powder is unlike baby powder as it doesn't absorb moisture but leaves a kind of a dry slippery film around the toes that prevents friction(much better than say vaseline or body glide-you don't get that squishy feeling). I love it. I do wish the Injinji's were made out of a material more like the asics or other running socks. The feel like they slip around a little. Still the best as far as preventing blisters go though.

very stylish!5
I just got this bag yesterday....so I can't write a review on the durability of it, but it seems very durable. The outside has thick material. I was afraid that it might look cheap....with the giraffe print and all, but it doesn't. It looks like a very expensive bag. LOTS of room inside. That is something that it doesn't show on here, is the inside of the bag...or the other side of the OUTSIDE...there is a zipper on the outside. I like that look. It gives it something. For the price, it's an outstanding deal. Too bad there was the cost of shipping. I almost NEVER buy anything unless they are offering free shipping. I'm glad in this case I did. Enjoy!
I adore this purse!5
I had seen a purse like this at Dooney & Bourke and it was over $250.
I didn't want to spend that kind of money, so I was thrilled when I found this and have gotten TONS of compliments on it!
cheap bag, rude seller's representative1
I saw this bag on the picture and fell in love with it. I have carefully read the description and the many positive Review on the seller's page. However, when I got this bag I was very disappointed. This item is highly misadvertised, IMHO. No way it could cost $91.98 as original price. In reality the bag looks cheep ,like typical Canal-street replica. So for those customers who looking for good bargain here I wouldn't recommend this kind of bag.
Seller sent me a request for review. I honestly wrote him my opinion about this product . After that the representative of the seller proposed to send me another bag and wallet for free, but with the condition that I will change the negative review to a positive. I refused. Then I've got a mail from this representative with insulting remarks. This is the first time I received such a negative experience with the seller here on Amazon.com

Disposable Ear Warmers1
If the price of something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Such is the case here. Private Island says these are $20 EarPro ear warmers marked down to the incredibly low price of just $1.05. I feel sorry for anyone who has paid $20, or $10, or even $5. These are $1-$2 ear warmers. They should consider using the word "disposable" in the product description, as this would be more accurate. If the build quality was any lower, they would be useless. Perhaps this would be ideal for someone who is always losing their warmers and needed a box full of cheap facsimiles available to simply reach in and pull out a new set every time the need arose, but that's not what I was looking for, so these are going back.
Update 01-28-10: I've noticed the price of these fluctuates day-to-day between $1 and $8.
Keeps mt ears warm, but a little hard to store4
The ear warmers work really well. The are light, yet thick enough to keep out the wind and cold. I'm very pleased with them in that regards. My only complaint is that the insides are made out of some form of metal. They are flexible enough to mold around my head, but not flexible enough to collapse them for storage. As a result, the are big and bulky to store. I wish I had ones that twisted close tighter to store in my coat pocket when not in use.
Wonderful Product4
This product is terrific - a little big for me (wish I could make it a tad bit smaller for a snugger fit), but it certainly keeps my ears warm while shoveling during a cold, Maine snow storm.
