Justfab Honour (White)

Hiii! How was your long weekend??? I got in a few new shoes!!! The first one I received was Honour from the Paulina Rubio collection at Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! Here is Paulina rockin' these babies:

This shoe is really pretty and very interesting to look at! She is faux leather and has gold metal detailing.  She is available in white, black and green. Here are some stock photos:

Okay so are you ready for some real life pictures!?! Haha! 

So the wedge has sculptural detailing and of course cut out detailing. This shoe is also very strappy! 

I really, really like the look of this shoe and the strap placement and of course the crazy wedge part! The faux leather is also super supple and feels real! The colour I chose is white (obviously) but it is an amazing BRIGHT white, which I LOVE! I rolled up my denim so you can see the shoe better :) 

So I ordered a half of a size up in this shoe as per the other reviews on the website. I  am glad I did as my true size would not fit me AT ALL! The length is great and the straps are fine. I would definitely recommend ordering a half a size up as well if you are going to order this shoe! 

*Sidenote* I am wearing PaintFab by Justfab USA/ Justfab CA. Colour is "As You Sea Fit" and Vinyl Luxe by CND. Colour is "Tutti Fruitti" 

Now the comfort isn't bad, however, truly not one of the most comfortable wedges I own. The straps don't cut in at all, and that's about where the comfort ends. While the shoe has a bit of padding, it feels very weird to stand or walk in and doesn't really absorb the shock. It is a high wedge, and while wedges are usually quite stable, this one is NOT! I would say if you are new to heels and opting for a wedge, do not go for this one. They are definatly on the shaky side for me, just standing still, let alone walking them. Now don't get me wrong, even though these are high, they do not feel high! One bonus of being a wedge! I am guessing that due to the cut outs it just makes the bottom a bit more unstable and you kind of feel like you are going to fall over almost! This is definatly not a shoe to wear out all night or all day! 

Now despite all this crazy comfort talk, (I am picky I guess and I rarely choose looks over comfort!!) this shoe is KILLER!! And in my opinion a definate MUST HAVE in at LEAST one colour! 

I guess if you are interested in this shoe, the only thing you have to decide is what colour(s)?! Head to Justfab USA/ Justfab CA now as they still have most sizes and colours available! Xx

Justfab Violett (Mint)

Hiii! Happy Sunday!!! Is it warm yet where you are?!? I am dying for some sun or some warmth!! I got Violett in mint in from Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! 

This shoe is a velvety soft faux suede! The colour is one of my faves!! She almost matches perfectly to my sheets! ❤️

This shoe has a very retro feel to them, an almost pin-up look. They are a Mary Jane and they have this super cute scalloping detail on the top around the edges. It also has a cute little button detail on the strap instead of a buckle. This strap still has the elastic edge that let's it stretch, I didn't need to try and undo the button.

They are very cute and classy, and I can't help but feel like a housewife in them. Which is nice....SOMETIMES! They have a visible platform and a hidden platform, this helps offset the heel which is pretty high. The platform also makes it easy to walk in. 

As for the fit, I got my true size in this shoe. It fits fine, but the toe box is a bit on the tighter side. If you have long toes or wider feet I would recommend ordering a half of a size up. 

Now with regards to the comfort level of this shoe, she really isn't very comfortable. The insole is quite hard and it doesn't really feel like there is any shock absorbtion at all. I expect a lot more comfort out of a Mary Jane! I own a lot of Mary Janes (some from Justfab USA/ Justfab CA and some from other companies) that are just so much more comfortable than Violett! I was a bit disappointed! 

Now comfort aside, she really is easy to walk in. She is also ridiculously cute!! She also is available in Nude and Coral as well. Here are some stock pics of these other colours :

How amazing is that nude one??!?❤️❤️❤️ For me I didn't really need another mint Mary Jane, but I was mesmerized by the retro/pin-up feel this shoe gave me! Here are some stock pics of the mint:

So if you need a comfortable shoe to wear all day at work when you are on your feet, this shoe isn't for you. And that's okay! If you want to add this to your collection of shoes for maybe a pin up shoot or dress up or those date nights when you are literally car to dinner to movie theatre then these might be for you. Or if you are one of those women who believe beauty is pain (not me 😝) then you might love this shoe! Haha! For me, I have way too many shoes to keep the ones that hurt my feet, so these are headed back! If you are interested in getting these you should head there now because they have them on sale in the section "2 for 49.95" along with a ton of brand new styles (shoes and bags!)!!! I love sales!!! ->Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! Happy sale shopping and have a great long weekend!! Xx

Shoemint Ivanna (Blush)

Happy Saturday!!! Okay so.....I haven't ordered anything from SHOEMINT in forever!! They were having a $30 mint cash to apply to anything purchased at the beginning of May so I decided to try something.  Shipping to Canada is usually $20 and so the $30 covered the shipping in full and then took 10$ off my purchase price so I was a happy girl. I chose Ivanna in blush. 

 I must say, I really do like this shoe! It is very dainty, classic, simple, sexy and VERY well made. It is real suede as well. The suede is soft and supple! One thing i enjoy about SHOEMINT shoes is that the quality is pretty much always superb! You definitely get your money's worth in a shoe! I also love the chain detail at the top, it gives a little bit of oomph to the shoe!

I rolled up my denim so you can see the cute ankle straps and heel too! 

The blush colour of the suede is very nice too, I love wearing blush or nude shoes, especially with dresses!! When the shoe blends in from far away, especially when you are wearing a minimalist style like this one, it looks like you have legs for days! Here is the colour with the flash and without! 

Okay so let's talk about the fit. The site advised to order a .5 a size up due to the top strap being narrow. So I went from a 9 to a 10 (they have no 9.5 in this style) and this is how she fits. While the length of the shoe is perfection for me, the width STILL feels too narrow! I know a lot of women who would still rock Ivanna just like this, but for me, and on my foot, I would just rather not. I think it just looks weird on my foot and I think my foot looks too wide and too flat in them! They kind of look like they pull my toes in an awkward shape! I LOVE how they look on my feet on the inner sides but HATE how they look from the outer sides and the front and the top! Haha! Unfortunately as much as I love these shoes, they are going to go back. 😞 Here are some pics that better show the fit:

So even though they look a bit uncomfortable, they actually aren't. The strap is narrow but it is not actually cutting in. The heel is quite low and very manageable. It is a single sole sandal, meaning there is no platform. A lot of women prefer these types of shoe nowadays. (For me I love both platforms and single soled!) Now before I write a review, I usually wear them AT LEAST around the house for a full day so I can be totally honest about the comfort. I HAVE NOT worn these very long at all -because I am sending them back- so I cannot say if someone could wear these all day. I would guess that if you have the correct fit and narrow feet that these would be a good work shoe and very comfortable. I also think that if I wore these a bit more then they would stretch since they are real suede. But I am not going to take a chance, just because of how MY feet look in them! If you are going to get them I would say follow the site's advice and order a half of a size up. If you have a wider foot or a low instep in my honest opinion I would just say pass on these shoes. Everyone's feet are different tho, so if you love them you can always give them a try!  

I will say that Shoemint has stepped up on the shipping times, I ordered these just before the weekend (Thursday night late, Friday morning they shipped) and then got them on the Monday after the weekend! I was impressed!! I forgot to mention that Ivanna also is available in black!! On the black the top strap is actually patent leather underneath the chain! Check them out here : SHOEMINT ! Happy shopping and have a great weekend!! Xx
