spring vibes (and a giveaway).

Dress: similar here and here. Jacket: Old Navy. (similar.) Shoes: ShoeMint: c/o. Bag: Target. Necklace: J Crew. (similar.)

By the time spring rolls around every year, I am just so ready to chuck my heavy winter darks to the back of the closet and pull out anything light and breezy.  Florals are a real soft-spot during these months between winter and summer, and there’s nothing I love more than a dress that doubles as a garden party.

I also love strappy wedges in the spring and summer months.  I’ve been looking for the perfect cognac pair for the past few years, (it’s hard to find really specific shoes in a size 5) so I was pretty happy when I found this pair at ShoeMint.  They are exactly what I was looking for.  Plus, they make me about 5 inches taller, which you know, when you’re my height is a real positive, and (added bonus) they’re still a breeze to walk in.  What made me the most happy was how comfortable these were right out of the box.  A lot of the time I feel like strappy shoes really cut into your feet the first few wears, but the leather on these wedges is soft and super comfy.  Cognac is a great neutral shoe color and one of my go-to’s especially when I travel, because it can be paired with just about anything.

Since I run my own online business, I’m a big fan of other online businesses doing it right.  ShoeMint is one of them.  ShoeMint is a free members-only website that offers stylish, high-quality shoes at a great price ($70-$150.)  I know that ordering something via the interwebs can be a little scary; you have to wait, you have to guess on fit… etc, so I appreciate that ShoeMint always offers free shipping and returns, as well as personalized style recommendations, tips and trend reports.   ShoeMint recently partnered with Aldo (one of my faves) to bring an even higher quality and craftsmanship to the pieces they offer.  Which has me doing cartwheels.

 And you’re going to be doing cartwheels as well.  ShoeMint has generously offered to give 1 reader 1 pair of shoes of your choice.

To enter:  Please visit ShoeMint and sign-up for a membership (completely free, no obligations)  Then leave a comment here, letting me know which pair of shoes you’re just dying to snag.

Giveaway open to US  and Canada only.

Little Bonus: readers who click here, will also receive 20% off their first purchase! (first time purchases/members)

Giveaway ends:  3/13/2014

Good Luck!

  4. Oh, this peek of spring is so lovely! Tulips are my favorite, as is the fancy/casual mix of a pretty floral dress and a great denim jacket. For my version of spring, I’d love to snag some Superga sneakers from ShoeMint!

    Love the floral dress + denim jacket combination. I really need to pick up a pair of the Bovary heels or something similar. Some how I’m missing a pair of classic black strappy shoes that would go with everything.

    You look amazingly pretty if I can put it this way. I liked your outfit a lot. floral + denim on a par with stripes + denim have pretty much the same mind blowing impact, isn’t it? and gosh, those flowers are gorgeous. <3 xoxo
