Shoemint & Julep Haul

OK, this is my second try at writing this post because consequently I haven't figured out how to use Blogger yet, and I'm technologically illiterate. I'm trying to post pictures from my iPhone but use my laptop to write my posts, which is apparently the most difficult thing ever! Anyhow, I wanted to share my haul for today. I received my first ShoeMint purchase, and I also received my 2 Julep polishes that I ordered. Being 5'7", I've never been a big fan of heels. I didn't start wearing heels until I was in college, and even then, I could only wear up to 3-inch heels because of the pain and suffering. Don't get me wrong; I love the look of high heels and how long they make my legs look, but sometimes, you just want comfort more than anything. When I saw the Jill shoes in my April ShoeMint showroom, I instantly fell in love! It has a 1.75-inch heel, and the coral color is right on trend for the Summer. They will go perfectly with a few maxi dresses I got this Spring. I've tried them on already, and I can say for a fact that they are the most comfortable heels I have ever worn!!

My first ShoeMint purchase!

I was definitely a fan of Julep polishes when I received my first package almost a month ago. When the May showroom came around, I wasn't too thrilled about the colors so I wandered over to their best sellers of the month, and fell in love with these two colors! I've been looking for the perfect minty green color, and when I saw Susie, I was instantly excited. It's a beautiful light minty green color; not too green and not too light. When I saw Almond, I knew I had to get it. Nude is my favorite color to wear on my nails, and I figured you can never have too many nudes, right? I've already tried Susie on my nails, and although they are the perfect color in the bottle, it looks almost white on my hands. I'm still trying to get used to the paleness of color, but so far, the consistency is great, and it's opaque in 2 coats. What color trends are you guys sporting this summer??
