Justfab LUXE Kuora


Hiii! Here is a review of the Kuora Luxe boot from Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! She is a lace up, knee high, faux leather boot with a platform and a 5 inch heel. She has an almond toe and gold hardware. Here are the stock photos: 

So as you can see, this boot is adorable in the stock pictures that you see on the site. To be 100% honest I am underwhelmed by this boot. I really expected it to be more like the pictures. While it is still a well constructed boot, the faux leather wasn't as nice as I was hoping and the toe box was stiff and unfriendly! I do however love that not only can you completely adjust the laces but there is also a zipper down the side for convenience. (BTW I am wearing the Shine Tight by Lululemon in case you were wondering 😊) 

I read the reviews on the site and they had mentioned to order up. I ordered up a size and the toe box was still narrow. Very uncomfortable. The platform is nice to have as it balances out the heel but because of the shape of the boot and the toe box inside, it just isn't the right fit for me. 

The detailing on this boot is quite nice and in theory is what I have been searching for forever. A high heeled, tall, military inspired boot! 

I should mention that these also had a weird chemical smell to them. Slight rippling in the material at the toe as seen in the above picture. And even though on the site it was in the LUXE section with LUXE pricing, it came in a regular Justfab box and no sign of LUXE branding on the inside. That however isn't a deal breaker for me but I thought I would be completely honest. I really did tried to love these boots in person as they are soooo cute on the site. Unfortunately, these Kuora boots are going back! :( 😔 Thank goodness Justfab has FREE exchanges if you aren't loving your purchase!! I rarely ever exchange for a completely different style (only size) as I am usually in love with everything I purchase from JustFab.

 If you still are in love with these I would advise you to size up in them. If they have a chemical smell to them I would advise you to put them outside or in your garage for a full 24 hours before attempting to wear them. I think they would work great for a wicked witch costume! (Kinda what I felt like when I was wearing them) The Kuora Luxe Boot is $44.95 but right now Justfab USA/ Justfab CA has $10 off any LUXE tall boot so head there now shop around! Hey have a lot of amazing LUXE styles :) Use the code 10OFFJUSTFAB. Happy Shopping and stay tuned for more Luxe reviews! Xx

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 Prime (Black)


Hiii! I can't believe it is already the end of April! I haven't posted a bag this month so here is Prime by Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! I wanted both colours (taupe and black) but settled on black first as she was in low stock. She was in my wishlist post Jan/Feb Wishlist back in February so check it out to see pics of her in taupe!  


So this is a fairly large tote, but it really isn't massive. She is faux leather and has gold metal accents. What I love about Prime is that it has the drawstring and ring closure for quick and easy access AND a zipped top closure for extra safety and security! 


There is an open pocket right at the front and has some cute stitching details around it. She also has two open (cellphone) pockets on the inside. She also has a zippered pocket inside as well. 

Overall this bag has a lot of room and is perfect for toting around pretty much anything! The base is flat so it stands on its own. 

The quality of this bag is really not bad but it also isn't one of the best bags I've seen come from Justfab USA/ Justfab CA! The faux leather is a little bit thinner than what I had expected and the feel isn't super soft and supple like other bags from their lineup. I am still super happy with the purchase tho as Prime really can be taken anywhere from a business meeting or church all dressed up to the mall or school worn with jeans!
  The back

 I scored this beauty as an add on to my order for $15! She is in the clearance section so you can add her on to your order in black or taupe for $15 now! There are also a number of bags in the clearance section for $15 and some are fairly new (like Prime is only a couple months old). Also for Mother's Day, Justfab USA/ Justfab CA is having a handbags sale 2 for $49.95 and those bags are mostly newer bags. That is like adding another bag on for $10!! Time to go bag shopping!!! Xx
