What: Dulci Suede Kitten Heels by J.Crew
Material: 100% suede outer, leather lining and man-made sole.
Quality: Very good! The suede is soft, rich cinnamon color, very manageable heel.
Fit: Sizing is off (again!). I’d say the shoes run half a size bigger than normal.
Sissi’s verdict: Return. I’d recommend half a size down if you are considering.

What: Aria Jeweled Pumps by Tory Burch
Material: 100% satin upper, leather lining and sole
Quality: Excellent! The heel is manageable (had them on for over four hours and felt just fine), the pointed toes scream sharp and classy while the crystal bow is a sweet addition for sparkle without being tacky. Perfect! I’ve worn with a dress and a skirt so far, and received lots of compliments.
Fit: True to size
Sissi’s verdict: Keeper!! The pumps definitely elevate your outfit, and your feet 😉

I have a thing for ankle-strap shoes and booties and the caged bow pumps by J.Crew looked too good to pass on. My review below.
What: Collection Caged Bow pumps by J.Crew
Season: Winter 2014
Material: Satin and suede upper, 100% leather lining and sole. Some elastic fabric to tie the shoes
Quality: Very good, as far a material goes. Was not too crazy about he tying fabric, just seemed off to me. The shoes are gorgeous otherwise, I love the subtle contrast between the navy satin againts the black suede. And the caged look makes the pair stand out.
Fit: True to size. Loved the heel height , the caged look…very cute, but the tying ribbon…
Sissi’s verdict: I just could not get past the tying ribbon…seemed like some type of elastic material and it was a deal break. I would advise to substitute the ribbon for something else, maybe some leather lacets. At that price, I decided to return. Do you have these cute pumps? Please share!
The flats were on popback last week on my size so decided to jump in and try them on. Review below:
Sissi’s Weekly Review – 21st October 2014 2014
What: Collection Harper Calf Hair by J.Crew
Season: Fall 2014
Material: 100% dyed calf hair outer, leather lining and sole
Quality: Very Good. Craftsmanship is very good as expected for the price, however, the black spots are not consistent between pairs. The left shoe looks different from the right shoe as you can see on the picture below.
Fit: True to size. I’d advise to go with your regular size unless your feet are wider. I tried the patent Harper in one size up and my feet were floating inside so true to size should be way to go.
Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper…if you can go with the mismatch pattern.
These heels had been on my watch list for a while (as you know, I love ankle shoes). Also, I was attracted by the stacked heel. Well, see the review below 🙂
Sissi’s Review
What: Lanie Stacked-Heel Sandals by J.Crew
Material: 100% leather upper and lining, man-made sole.
Quality: Very good leather; sturdy heel; should last a long time if maintained properly. I also love the color, some neutral grey that could be matched with various outfit. Too bad this summer has been cool. Feels like Fall already!
Fit: Great! You can really feel the leather lining, almost similar to the Nike air technology by Cole Haan as far as comfort is concerned, at least to me. I like the stacked heel as it helps for balance because those heels are pretty high, they feel higher than four inches 🙂
Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper!. Do you agree? Please share!
