Justfab LUXE Messalina


Hiii! So I got some more shoes in from Justfab USAJustfab CA! These are my second pair of gladiator heels!! They are called Messalina and are from the LUXE line! They are only available in black. Unlike most of the other Luxe items, Messalina is made from synthetic materials and NOT real leather. The material has a very cool and interesting feel to it and feels kind of spongy like a cork and is textured. The metallic accents on this shoe are silver.



I really really LOVE these! They have loops on the side instead of the regular straight across straps, which is different. 

I love how high they come up as they are just at the knee.





They have a solid piece going down the front of the leg and a zipper up the back. 



With regards to the fit I would say size up by a half of a size if your feet are wide. I saw reviews on the site saying to size up and so I did, but the length is definitely too long for me. I will be putting inserts in them.
 



This is not a gladiator for someone with a wider calf, it fits quite snug on me and I've heard stories of ladies that could not get the zipper up or having to get someone else to zip it up for them!! The straps are a bit weird tho, as some are snug and some are soo loose that they aren't even touching my skin!

 

So I have only worn these around the house, but they are fairly comfortable! They are long on me so adding an insert will add to the comfort factor. They are quite high tho and have no platform so I don't think I would attempt to wear these for long periods of time when on my feet. The angle of the foot is quite steep! 

Overall I am super happy with this purchase!! I got it on sale for $49!! I would have paid regular price for her but I'm stoked for them to still have the LUXE sale going on. This shoe is perfect for the spring and summer months and can easily be dressed up or dressed down! 


Here are a few stock pictures:

Messalina is probably one of my favourite purchases to date from Justfab USAJustfab CA! If you want to get on board with this gladiator heel trend you should give these a whirl!! Xx

Justfab Madelina (Black)

Hiii! I wore my first pair of gladiator heels today!!! I ended up getting Madelina by Justfab USAJustfab CA! This shoe is seriously sexy!! 



**** So you are probably wondering why I have two different colours of polish on my feet, it is because I got the new Paintfab by Justfab USAJustfab CA in " As You Sea Fit " and the base/top coat! This is a gorgeous minty colour and I was so excited to show you so I just painted one foot! (I am in need of a pedicure so I didn't want to waste my polish when I knew it was coming off) Here is a close up of the polish/ colour! ****

Anyways back to Madelina ❤️❤️ This gladiator heel is faux leather and is from the Paulina Rubio collection!!! She also comes in cobalt in a faux suede! Here are some stock pics! 

 And here is the cobalt ❤️❤️


She is very strappy and gorgeous on! The straps are not the same, so it is a little annoying, I have some really loose straps and some tight straps. There were also some threads hanging and a lot of places where the shoe got cut unevenly and fabric bits are showing. There was even a bit of glue on the toe part. This pair is not what I generally receive from Justfab quality wise but I am guessing it was just the pair. THAT ASIDE, the shoe is sold out in my size so I am KEEPING THEM anyways!! I cannot miss out on these!! 


They came out when I was away and I cannot believe I didn't order them sooner!! I can't even voice how much I am in love with these shoes! Not only are they super on trend right now, but they are also COMFORTABLE!! Like I could literally walk all day in them, and I did both today and yesterday!! The heel is very low compared to my usual heels but there is also no platform so it balances out at a nice comfortable height! 

The shoe is zipped right up the back so it is easy to get on and off! She fits true to size for me. I would say to order half of a size up if you have wide feet or wider calves. Because of the knee high straps, I wouldn't recommend this to someone with very muscular calves. 

Now I have yet to find another similar style in a heel that is priced at $40 or around there, everything else is super expensive! These are most definitely a steal for what I got. Like I said before, I would have exchanged for another pair if they were available because I did get a crappier quality then normal but this is definitely not the norm for Justfab and I am so happy to have even received a pair before my size sold out completely! I think despite the flaws on my pair she is still worth the $40!! 

You can see a bit of the weird baggy straps in the next few pics.

I also want to mention how much I love the bottom part of the shoe!!! I love that it is not all strappy and there are solid parts!!


If you love this shoe as much as I do HURRY now as the stock is limited!!! If it is your first time ordering from Justfab USAJustfab CA you can even get her for $20!! That is INSANE! What are you waiting for!!!!?!?! Xx
