Evans Heel Shoe Review

I love high shoes...heels, platforms, wedges. However, when it comes to high heels, I find that I often feel wobble-y and unstable. And not to mention my flat-footed height of 5'9" leads to me looking like a pink haired godzilla, stepping on tiny villagers. I'd heard rumors that Evans high heels were comfy and easy to walk in, especially for the weight I got in my trot. I decided to get 2 pairs for the wedding extravaganza of a few weeks ago and gave them a whirl. Here are images of them on and the juicy details on some hot pumps!

Pink/Grey Ankle Cuff Pump


These are probably the most comfortable heels I've ever had on my tootsies. They are easy to walk in and standing in them is about a comfy as you can be while wearing heels. Quick lesson learned: Evans shoes are wide and run a size large. I normally wear a size US 11 and I would normally order a size 9UK. However, with Evans shoes, I'm a solid 8 and they are, as you can see in the photos, still a bit wide/large around the cuff.

Black Elastic Strap Croc Pump


Now these shoes are HOT. I love them...they look fabulous with everything, the fit is spot on (the elastic makes them more flexible than the above pair). They are SLIGHTLY less comfortable than the pink/grey pair, but I think after a few nights of wear, they'll be spot on. Again, I definitely had to purchase a size down, but the fit seems consistent.

Do you have a favorite high heel brand? Let me know! I'd LOOOOOOVE to try more!

eShakti Dress Review

A few weeks ago, I was approached by eShakti to try out one of their products...um, YES PLEASE! I've been dying to try this online retailer ever since I saw their link pop up on other plus size blogs. Their selection is as wide as their size range (0-26) and they offer custom sizing as well! Can I mention their prices for a moment? Seriously affordable, particularly for the customization they offer.

I chose this blue ruffle dress, as I knew that I had some fancier evening events coming up (aka THE WEDDING week). This dress is made SUPERBLY. It's lined and does not skimp on the ruffles. The sewing is excellent and the size was exactly what I requested. The only issue I ran into was that the fabric was easily wrinkled and not ideal for travel. Other than that: I was THRILLED with this item. I'm definitely going to scoop up some of their amazing summer collection...check it out here. Check out the images and item details below.
