A Touch of Floral

So lately I’ve been noticing that the whole online shopping phenomena  is growing. (Or maybe I was just never aware of it in the first place…)
Previously I have tried out one of the companies called Shoedazzle. I talked about it a bit in one of my previous posts. They have improved their polices since then though, the biggest change that I love is that you no longer need to “skip the month” any more. I just think it’s stupid that they charge you every month for a pair of shoes.
However, this new online shoe shop that I have stumbled upon has yet to change their policies about that…  I’m not sure how I first heard about Shoemint, but their first collection really caught my attention. I really adored their “Edith” shoe but at the time was eyeing another pair (don’t remember what they were called) But they were a wedge bootie, very cute. That was until I did a little research and stumbled upon a photo of how they looked in real life. They were kind of like elf shoes :l But by that time the Edith shoes had already sold out =[

The problem with buying shoes online is that you never know what they really look like until you get them. I know how they offer free returns, but let’s face it that’s a big hassle in itself. (I even get lazy to return things at regular stores)

For new sign ups you receive a 20% discount on your first pair. (10% less than Shoedazzle) The prices for the shoes start at $79.98, now if you compare it to Shoedazzle’s price of $39.99 it’s quite a difference. From what I have read and experienced (from my own pair of Shoedazzle shoes) they quality of the Shoemint shoes is supposed to be that of Steve Maddens.
At first I was hesitant with Shoemint because of the price, and the fact that shipping to Canada was $20. I finally caved when they had a sale, so I used that and my 20% off and got a pretty decent price. So I bought the “Leslie” shoe:



For 5 inch heels they are surprisingly comfortable, and the quality is really nice as well. You get what you pay for. The colour isn’t exactly what I expected, but they are very cute.
Overall, I’m definitely going to keep my eye on Shoemint because they are coming out with more designs and I am excited to see them =]
