I have a wardrobe full of Pliner’s, as they seem to suit my foot shape and I like this kind of heel size, in which he does some great designs. I initially tried the beige (sand?), but it was more gold/sparkly than I realized, so switched it for the espresso and love it. The color suits my wardrobe. I also had to return the 10 for a 10.5, but have had to do this a few times with the sandals (though bizarrely, not shoes or boots), so have labeled it true to size. Overall, it’s sleek, elegant and seemingly very comfortable, though I have not worn it much since I bought it to really tell, as the weather has been cool and rainy...

This is a really nice summer sandal. The only problem with it is that the elastic gets too tight after a while of wearing it. I have a thin foot and found I had to take it off after a few hours because it was leaving marks in the top of my foot.

This is a phenomenal 3 inch paring knife! I absolutely love it! The Henckels' Twin Four Star II series totally rocks -- it's more expensive than the Twin Four Star series, but it's definitely worth the price. The added weight from the end-cap really helps to contribute to the overall performance of the knife. Look past the price, and know that you're making an awesome investment that will give you many amazing meals in return. :)
