quilted crossbody bag (on sale right now for under $25!)
Dalmation (or maybe it's snow leopard?) print is one of those prints that can be classic, chic, fun, and edgy all at the same time. I've never owned anything in this print, although I've been searching for a good fabric to make a shift dress like this dalmation print dress that I pinned a year ago, so when I spotted (pun intended) these heels at ShoeMint I was instantly sold. They're a perfect pop of pattern to amp up a basic jeans and tee outfit like I did here, or would be so fun paired with a solid cobalt or leather dress, both of which are on my to-sew list.
ShoeMint also has a ton of other amazing shoes right now, most of which I would happily add to my closet. You guys know about this fabulous shoe website, right? It's a free, members-only website and once you sign up they give you personalized style recommendations, tips, and trend reports. All their shoes are super high quality and so luxurious (made of real leather, suede, and other amazing materials), and range in price from $70-$150. The best part is that they always have free shipping and free returns so you don't have to be afraid to order a pair of shoes online (which can be scary sometimes)!
Today ShoeMint is giving away one pair of shoes of your choice to one lucky winner!
To Enter:
- Visit Shoemint and sign up (free and no obligations!), then come back and leave a comment here with your favorite pair of shoes! Please include your email address in the comments so I can reach you if you win!
The giveaway is open to the US and Canada, and will be open for one week! And if you can't wait, get $40 (!!) off your first pair when you sign up here (for first time purchasers/members only)!
Thank you to BeachMint for sponsoring this post!

Love 5's collar and pattern... if it had sleeves it would be perfect. Love jumpsuits but since we live in humid places I cannot wear layers without dying, so sleeves and necklines that don't need layers are always a must for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm a ShoeMint member, and lame as it is, my favorite pair is the dalmation pumps you're wearing! I love them!
ReplyDeleteSigned up! I loooooove the Adelle boots!

I love that you are tacking a jumpsuit, that sounds like a big challenge! I'm a huge fan of the classic black jumpsuit, but a bold blue would be fun or even an awesome floral print. I can't wait to see it!
