Felt a little like Goldilocks and tried 3 different bags from Fossil. Too little, too big and this one, just right! Like that it is perfect for a cross body bag but you can adjust the strap up and use it as a purse. Like that it holds all the stuff I need so I don't have to choose between carrying a cell phone or a wallet!. Like that it is not heavy and the leather is not hard. Like that it comes in a cool purple color so my daughter thinks its neat. Like that the front and back pockets close securely so no one can reach into my bag on the subway. Try it, you'll like it too!

This bag is the perfect size for a petite person like me. I love its structure with a zip pockets on the outside, a slip pocket under the flap, and a smaller zip pocket inside. It's my favorite configuration for a bag. The problem I have is that the strap is fabric on one side and leather on the other. For the price, I would expect a nicer strap! And I didn't find the strap very comfortable either. I just don't think this bag is worth the price.

Love this bag! Got the black and the scarlet. Both are made of high quality materials and look expensive. Bag is also very functional and the right size for my everyday needs. Glad I got them before they sold out.

I love this purse! It has a bit more room in it than I expected, which is good. It's a nice everyday bag that won't allow me to collect junk (you know how it is - the bigger the purse, the more stuff you carry). It also looks good on petite people. I am 5'1" with a slim build. This bag doesn't appear too large on me. Again, it's a nice little bag. I would buy it for a gift or in other colors for myself.

This is a great little Fall bag. It is lightweight and easily accommodates everything I need to carry on a daily basis without being too bulky or heavy. The adjustable strap is so convenient, making the bag much more usable with Fall sweaters and jackets. The colors are beautiful and it is Fossil quality. Fabulous construction and nice leather.

This is an amazing purse. It's on the small side but so well designed -- all the right pockets in the right places. If you like a smaller more compact purse with lots of handy storage, then this is your bag. It's the best purse I've ever bought. My Fossil bags have been all very good quality and well made. This one is no different. The leather is beautiful. I looked specifically for a "flap" style because my previous purse had a zipper at the top and it was left open all of the time. I realized that the zipper and I didn't work when I was in a hurry (which is most of the time). With the flap I have to close my purse and the contents don't get dumped on my car floor (bonus). The adjustable crossbody strap is an additional plus. I highly recommend this purse style.

For me this is a perfect crossbody bag. It is big enough (similar to a regular purse) without being bulky, has good pockets, the flap makes the contents secure, the lock is smooth, the strap is comfortable. I have this bag in two colors and may get another one. My sister loves it, too!

This is a really great purse. The color (saddle) is beautiful and the style is great. The size is really nice, even if it's a little smaller than what I'm used to. It easily holds a wallet, keys, and camera, though. I sprayed it with a leather protecting spray, which may or may not have been necessary but I didn't want to take the risk with my cool, new purse. Absolutely worth the money.

I got this in the green color. I actually saw it in the store before I ordered it on Zappos so I pretty much knew what to expect. I was looking for a small bag and I decided to buy from Fossil because their leather materials are durable (opposed to pliable soft leather). I wish this bag held slightly more, but I am still happy with my purchase. The back zipper also has credit card slots if you don't have room to put in a full wallet. Will definitely be buying from Fossil again.

I spent a long time picking out this bag because I don't like to switch bags very often. This bag is perfect. The leather is thick and soft. It has room for my wallet, cell phone, and small camera and still lays flat. Fossil makes a very nice bag.

Can't wait to wear these! I bought these shoes for my wedding after looking at hundreds of shoes. Thought these were classy, well made, pretty and comfortable. I'm going to be dying them emerald green and they will definitely stand out. Wonderful shoe! Also, regarding the fit. My foot is a little wide and the B(M) fit just fine. I am going to put some Insolia insoles in though, so that I can wear these late into the evening!

This is a beautiful shoe. It has a wider toe box and moderate heel height which makes it very comfortable. It runs true to size, maybe even a little bit big.

Zappos was absolutely instrumental with finding the exact shoe in the exact size that I needed, a 10 1/2. I had visited a Stuart Weitzman store who did not have my size and told me that there none were in stock in their warehouse. I was told that they were not shipping until the January time frame, after my daughter's wedding. I immediately came home and searched the internet and found the exact product, in my size, and available to ship the same business day. Received my shoes within 3 days (normal shipping rate), packaged tightly, and received in excellent condition. One negative is that they were slightly more than the store; however, the shipping was free! I now look to Zappos for all my online shopping needs and so do my children.

These shoes are beautiful! I bought them for my wedding, and they look amazing with my ivory lace dress. I bought a half size bigger than usual to increase comfort while on my feet all night, and I definitely recommend that, as they fit perfectly now.

These shoes are very nice, easy to wear with a several things in our garderobe and particularly comfortable for a high heel. Bravo to SW and Zappos because it is almost the only place we can have narrow shoes. Please don't stop.

These are beautiful shoes. There were no problems for me on the color like some other reviewers noted. Sadly, I don't find them that comfortable because there isn't much padding under the toe box, but they are better than strapping shoes digging into your feet all night. I've had other friends wear these at their wedding and they run super narrow. I'm never ordered a wide before but I bought my regular size in a wide (I also tried one half size up) and my regular size in W seemed to fit best. So order a few different sizes so that you can see what works best!

Beware before ordering! This shoe does not appear like the picture. I ordered this shoe four separate times due to the fact that the first pair I ordered (which did look like the picture) was defective. The subsequent shoes sent were not the same color on the ruffle. The ruffle was not pure ivory in appearance as the picture portrays.

It's very comfortable, slightly bigger than marked though not half a size larger. I do not like the pleated look on top.

Lovely shoe, as are all Stuart Weitzman's. One of the very few and nicest quality that are made in Wide width. However, with large bunions, sometimes they just don't work - depends on the material, too. These were for my daughter who among all others in our family, has big bunions and was planning on these for her wedding. Unfortunately, they were too tight, even the wides, and I was afraid stretching them, as I usually do with plain leather ones, would ruin the satin.
