Shoe News: The Bargain Shoe
/Lets face it gyals, we'd all love to purchase a pair of shoes for under $100, but either our taste is way too expensive (insert my name here) or some shoes have just become wayyy overpriced. We also refuse to sacrifice quality, at least I know I do, but price isn't always indicative of quality.
And that brings me today's shoe news - the Bargain Shoe. We've all considered it, in fact I'm certain some of you have even purchased from one of these newly minted sites. With the rise of the of the bargain shoe that doesn't sacrifice quality every woman can shop to her hearts content, find a great pair of shoes and not break the bank in the process.
Below are my top three bargain shoe sites and the deals are SOOOO GOOD, I have to try 'em!
SHOEMINT
Launched in 2011 as a collaboration between Rachel Bilson and celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez, Shoemint has been a go-to for women who want high-quality, low-priced footwear. I perused the site and there are some pretty chic options to help spice up any wardrobe. The most fun part is actually signing up where you're asked a few questions that range from your overall style to your heel height preference. Upon completion, you're taken to your 'showroom' that features top recommendations based on responses - gotta love technology. Below are my top choices....
From left to right (clockwise): Karina, Gwen, Paloma and Classic Pump.
Above shoe prices range from $25-$100
JUSTFAB
Led by the infamous Kimora Lee Simmons who serves as the Creative Director, JustFab sells not only chic, quality, footwear, but also handbags, jewelry and denim - talk about a one stop shop!

SHOEDAZZLE
Sisterbrand to Just Fab and the very first to hit the scene in 2009, Shoedazzle has a top shelf selection of variety and perfectly edited shoes - and when you count Rachel Zoe as the Chief Stylist that comes as no surprise.
