Solestruck

I think I might be a bad person.

Solestruck.com gifted me a gorgeous pair of shoes a few weeks ago, and after receiving them, oohing and aahing, and spending some quality time prancing around the house and sticking my feet out for others to admire, I promptly forgot to post about them. Whoops!

Am currently remedying the situation.

Check out these lovelies:


These heels by Faryl Robin have a vintage-y, whimsical feel that I really love. They're quite different from the rest of my shoe collection, which tends to be black and slightly punk-ish (think combat boots and studded gladiators), but I can hardly be expected to stick with one aesthetic when there are so many shoes out there! And all right, so walking is a bit of a challenge as my balance is pretty bad in flat shoes, but hey, I like to live dangerously. They're not the comfiest things in the world either, but they're so pretty I don't care. I blame my weirdly shaped feet.

I picked these shoes out from the hundreds of options offered on Solestruck.com, and I'll have you know it was not an easy choice. It was a dizzying experience; it's cliche, but I felt kind of like a kid in a candy store. The selection there is extensive, and much cheaper than you would think. Very reasonable, actually. And the shipping was so fast! I'm a fan - and not just 'cause they gave me free shoes.

Excellent choice! I love the contrasting colors on the shoes along with the thicker heel (totally loving a stocky heel right now!).

And free shoes--what's not to love! Tell them to send that lovin' my way ;)

As they say, the best things in life are free. And if that happens to be a pair of rockin' shoes, then I guess we'll just learn to love it.

Those were FREE? Wow, so cool! and pretty. Send some magic dust my way. So far, I've gotten a bra and a type of air freshener (poo-pouri) which is cool for samples. But shoes?
