Review: Viv Metallic Bow Flats

Published on by eBelandiLeave a comment

Below is a review of the Viv Metallic Box flats from the Crew. In one picture below I show the silver against the gold of the Nora glitter pumps that I reviewed HERE.

Pros: nice leather, loving the bow which is just the right size (though smaller than the viv bow flats from a few seasons ago), very nice silver shine not overboard, comfortable, low toe-cleavage (which I do not mind but some do)

Cons: price…regular is outrageous, the coupon I used made them borderline OK but still too high in my opinion

Material: 100% metallic leather upper, 100% leather lining and sole

Fit: true-to-size to slightly tight

Alternative: Coach Wilma or Coach Wooster (but sandals)

Sissi’s Verdict: Undecided….would say keeper but only with more significant cut.  Otherwise, you can look for cheaper, and add your own bow clips 😉

Reviews – J.Crew pumps: everly, glitter and jeweled – 28 Oct 2013

Published on by eBelandi6 Comments

During the 40% off promo, I purchased three pairs of shoes from J.Crew.  I ended up returning the everly pumps for an exchange, and am still undecided on the glitter and jeweled.  Let me know what you think!

Let’s start with the Everly Jeweled printed pumps:

Pros: Nicely made, the print is unique and definitely stands out, moderate heel, comfortable, nice jewelry addition

Cons: fabric will peel off I fear, especially at the heel, jewelry and metallic accent may seem a little too much, price

Sissi’s verdict: undecided, leaning towards keeping.

Next, the Everly Leather Pumps in Vintage Murberry:

Pros: Nice leather, soft and high quality, moderate heel, comfortable, may be dressed up or down

Cons: I received them damaged (scratches all over….seriously?!? 😦 ); leather covered heel…so hard to maintain compared to wooden heels

Sissi’s verdict: Returned for exchange; will keep the exchange unless defective again

Finally, the Nora golden glitter ballet flats .

Pros: Comfortable, fun

Cons: Glitter will come off (choker!), runs large

Sissi’s verdict: undecided, leaning towards keeping.
