Delicate lace cuff
This is one of the items that wins my heart solely by its design, not the material - the lace looks so delicate and graceful in person, with a vintage style. I've worn it almost everyday for the past 1-2 months but so far it looks as new and clean as it was back in day one. I felt a little bit itchy on my first day wearing it because of the golden lines embedded in the lace, but after that no more allergic feelings. It goes pretty much with everything, and I get tons of compliments on it.

Definitely adorable
The bird on the ring is so vivid and cute. Usually I'd prefer rose gold over gold for the color, but I have to keep this ring just because the bird there is so adorable! But I think the material listed here on the website is not right - on the general brand introduction and product info sheet that goes with the package, La Lueur De L'Aube states that they use only sterling silver or 18k gold plated sterling silver - not 18k gold but 18k gold plated. Just be aware of that.

Absolutely disappointing for the fabric!
When the dress showed up online I could not wait to order it. But when I received the dress it was such a bummer. The website says that the fabric is "silk", while I found this hard to believe - the fabric is very hard, cheap feeling, like some party dress that you would never wear it as part of a casual cute outfit. It looks cute of course, but for $350 I expect something with a higher quality. I returned the dress without any hesitation.
