Has anyone picked up or seen any of the home offerings? I've heard the line has bedding, though I'm not sure what else. I have a new apartment to outfit so I might like to check the stuff out.

ugh, I put one of the tops in my shopping cart. 32 bucks isn't bad considering it was 50. I just don't like to buy clothes without trying them on and the nearest one to me is 40 miles away.

sooooo...how are you all finding the quality, material and construction-wise? I have heard very mixed reviews....the one at Racked was particularly discouraging.

thanks in advance.

personally, i think it really depends on the item...i find a lot of the knits to be really nice, like the modal t-shirts and the short-sleeved tunic-y one. i think they're cut quite well and the material is very soft yet not flimsy. i liked the sweaters as well. i would say that a lot of this is akin to banana republic in terms of materials -- nice, but you wait till it goes on sale because it's slightly overpriced. i thought the blue dress with the ribbon straps was really lovely and now i'm slightly kicking myself for not getting it i actually found the coats to be the most disappointing...the cut was awkward and the material, while nice enough, didn't really warrant $128 (or whatever the price was) and it wasn't lined. i think some of the shoes were nice esp. with some of the detailing. and the handbags really varied for me -- i have the black pvc hobo and it seems to be holding up with my rough 'em, tough 'em urban lifestyle and it gets compliments. in person i also like the soft ruched satchel, and some of the "signature" bags could be nice. (i got one for my mom and she liked it.) but i thought some of the other bags were just kind of cheap-looking.

anyway, hope this helps! i think the racked review was a little too dismissive of the whole thing. like most lines, some things were done well and some were not. it's rare that i think a whole line is strong overall -- even at the designer-designer level

^that is super helpful, thanks!

I figured the Racked review was exaggerated...I'm not sure they always know what they are talking about.

Thanks, and I think my picture almost exaggerates the color, because it's not as dark in person. However, it's definitely darker than in Kohl's picture.
