My mom & I went shopping and out to dinner on Friday night and it was such a great night. We spent so much time in the store that in the middle of trying on tons of clothing, an announcement over the loud speaker came on advising us they were closing! We were totally shocked as the time passed so quickly and we were having a ball. I bought several things but the 'splurge' ($80) of the night were these black Guess slingbacks (sneak tweet). They were on an end cap of an aisle amongst other shoes, the only pair, and in my size! I snatched them up and brought them into the fitting room with me and tried them on with the clothing I had in there and it was a no brainer. They came home with me that night and I've already worn them two days in a room. Love at first sight.

I certainly have a few white dresses hanging in my closet that only get play during the summer time. Around this time of year, when winter has started to drag on, I often day dream about sporting my summer stuff, including white dresses, denim jackets, gladiator sandals and no tights. A great way to bring some summery attitude to these cold months is through your clothing by winterizing your more summery gear. Throw in some tights, a chunky knit scarf and over-the-knee boots and your golden.

It's no secret that I love to shop. Shoes are my favourite, especially when I can purchase them online. I find the selection is so much better online, you can get great deals and not wear something else everyone already has. I can't say I do a lot of clothing shopping online, a few things here and there, but it's mainly shoes.
I wanted to bring my lovely readers' attention to a fantastic site for online shopping. It's called Retail Me Not and it's a consumer 'run' site for all your shopping discount codes. I always check this site before making any purchase online. Other consumers will add their coupon/discount codes to the site (free, and you can too) which you can search and often use on your purchase. I have saved hundreds of dollars simply by using coupon/discount codes others have shared. So what are you waiting for? Before shopping, use this fantastic tip and save yourself some $.
I am in no way affiliated with retailmenot.com and this post is simply my own views and opinions.
I am all for saving money where I can and wanted to share this great tip with all of you.
Well, shoes 4 through 7 have arrived and let's just say they are less impressive than 1 to 3. I was so excited for these to come and to be honest, I'm really only happy with one pair. The problem with ordering through Urban Original is it's not exactly worth it to send the shoes back. It would be almost as expensive as the shoes themselves, and then you're out s&h charges twice (and duty). Le sigh. Regardless, I might take a couple pairs to a consignment shop and try my luck.
These are sadly too big. The great part about these is the strap that goes around the back of your heel swivels to go across the front of your foot, if you'd like. This works as it'll keep my feet locked in, however, I'm not a huge fan of the 'Mary Jane' look, which is what it gives. However, I'm not giving up on them just yet, but ladies, if you order, size down one size.
The heels on these are massive, and I ordered 'black' and this is what came. Technically they sent the correct shoes, but they are certainly not black, more like dark brown. Not only do I feel like a giant when I put these on, I am a giant. Now, that's not to say I don't have heels this high, it's just the combination of the massive platform and skinny heel that doesn't help. Bad call.
I love these!! I'm so pleased with them and should have bought two more colours. They are true to size and fit well. Can't wait to some summer weather to rock 'em.
These are a little big, and really high. I'm disappointed, for sure. I could have sized down a size and they would feel a lot more secure on my foot. I was really looking forward to these ones so that's a bummer.
