Comms: Where Hipsters Unite

This is pretty typical for what I wear on any given school day. Something comfy for all the hours I sit in class, and for all the walking I do up to campus. Although, I don't like looking like a slob...so flat boots, comfy skinnies, and cozy sweaters are what I'm all about! 

Since all my classes are in the Communications building this semester {Advertising, PR, and Comms Studies majors}, I feel like my ensembles just fit in. Big glasses? Studded booties? Funky pants & sweaters? They totally fly in the Comms building! Everyone tends to wear massive glasses {most of the time they are fake...read my rant about it here}, combat boots, and slouchy beanies. I should start a tally on how many people I see in a day wearing any number of these things, just so I can prove my theory {ohhh research methods class, you are finally good for something.} 

{Remixed: Booties}

Now my bright & colorful outfits don't make me stick out like they did in the Family Studies building {where everyone was extremely conservative...think mom jeans and 80's shirts}, or in the Music building {musical geniuses & actors galore...too busy writing symphonies to care about what they're wearing.} Although, I don't know whether or not I should be touting that I fit in with the hipsters of our campus...haha! Is it a good thing to be considered a "hipster"?!

If the Shoe Fits!

{All shoes from Shoedazzle}

I don't think that it's any secret that I loooove my shoes.

Cute shoes of quality and shoes on a budget.

Through my shoe madness I've found what sites fit my online shopping fancy.

Thus, I've compiled a list and some details of some of the most popular online shoes sites so you can sift out which ones are and aren't your style. 

Enjoy!

Shoedazzle

Quality? Pretty much you get what you pay for. For the low price though, they are comfortable, stylish, and hold up pretty well.

Overall score? 5/5. {My go-to shoe site}

Just Fab

How good are the sales? Good sales & deals, can get shoes down to $25 a pair on sale.

Quality? I don't think this is the best quality. Cheaply made and fit my foot weird.

Customer service? I purchased a pair of heels from this site for a wedding, and it was a disaster. When I called customer service, the girl had no clue what she was talking about and I had to speak with someone higher up. I was extremely frustrated with the customer service. Plus my package arrived late and barely making it before the wedding I was attending out of town!

Overall score? 2/5.

Shoemint

Who is the mastermind? Rachel Bilson

Monthly charges? They charge your card on file by the 5th of every month, a whopping $79.98. If you forget to skip the month they give you one grace month where you can call and be refunded. But if you forget to cancel the account? They keep charging you "monthly credits" and don't send you a reminder email about the balance on your Shoemint account.

Special offers? 20% off your first purchase. Hard to find shoe sizes 5-11. 

How good are the sales? For the fashionista who is willing to spend $50+ on a pair of shoes, they have very good deals for the quality of shoe. They sometimes do a buy one get on half off or the occasional 20% off for holidays or new shoes.

Quality? Very good quality! They are teamed up with the people from Steve Madden {my favorite}, and they create beautiful shoes.

Customer service? They are I would say that they are ok. Not the best customer service I've ever dealt with, but not the worst. When I emailed them, I didn't get a response back until a week later. When I called them, the girl on the other side of the phone sounded ticked, um sorry?

Overall score? 3.5/5. 

If you have any more questions, leave them in the comments or email me! :)

just like a coin collection, right?

Guys. I mean girls.

This is serious.

I think I might have a shoe obsession.

I didn't really think about it or even realize it until a friend the other day asked 

if I wanted to go to Ross to look at shoes....and my face completely lit up.

Is that a normal response to shoe shopping??

Ok, maybe it's because it isn't that hard to find shoes that find your foot just right.

Or that you can get them at a wide range of prices.

Or maybe because I just like looking at them in my closet.

Or because it is a dose of instant cuteness for my feets.

Or that it only takes a few minutes to try them on and decide if I want them.

{Not HOURS like it does to find clothes in the dressing room. Yuck.}

Or because they have a siren call that I just can't fight...

Who knows, good thing my feet are changing sizes anytime soon or I'd be in biiigggg trouble.

The Shoe Named Spike

Since you all are followers of Breezy Days, that obviously means you have bangin' taste.

So.

 I'm sending out the shoe equivalent to the Batman sky signal.

Alerting all you shoe-a-holics out there to pitch in your thoughts.

What shoes should I pick??

Is this leopard print/spike flat too much?

Does it look like too much is going on in one shoe?

Hawt or not?

These were my original pick because I looove the cobalt blue.

Although they are sold out, I put myself on the waiting list.

Should I hold out hope for these cobalt beauties?

Or go with one of the two options from above?

Feedback peeps!

I only allow honest opinions here!
