We all love shoes, that easy buy, that no matter if you are having a fat day, an ugly day, whatever, new shoes will make you feel fabulous! So recently there have been a lot of these custom websites, that create an "individual profile" of styles that they think you would like, based on a series of questions you have answered. The website normally has a celebrity endorsing them to raise their profile, we have Kim Kardashian and Shoe Dazzle (http://www.shoedazzle.co.uk/) , Cheryl Cole and Stylist Pick (http://www.stylistpick.com/#2) , and now there is Rachel Bilson and ShoeMint (http://www.shoemint.com/showroom).
I have highly anticipated Rachel Bilson's collection, as she is a girl who regularly graces the pages of magazines and "Best Dressed" list, despite her not really doing much apart from looking good.
So I joined the website, answered the questions and got my results. the results were good, as two out of three of the designs I would wear. However in all honestly thought I was disappointed with the lack of results, 3 shoes, in 2 different colours is not much choice. Plus the price is a bit higher that other websites that offer the same service; their prices being around £39.99, ShoeMint's prices are $79.99 (around £50). The bad news for us UK girls is that currently they only ship to addresses within the US, but hopefully that will change as they expand, as this is what happened with ShoeDazzle. Again because this is the first collection, maybe as time goes by with more collections, more styles will be designed, giving us girls more choice.Have you ever bought any shoes from these new websites? What do you think of their service?
