My Shoe Hunt Adventure!
















Who doesn't love a cute pair of hills some nice summer wedges or some sandles? I love shoes I have so many they are overflowing in my closet and my fiance dog has lost her spot three times due to my shoe fettish but, I make it up to her with treats and luv! I was on the hunt for some cute wedges first stop was in Long Beach CA they have two store locations all shoes 3 pairs for $20.00 yup that's right 3 pairs for 20 dollars. Yes I know what your thinking they must be made out of plastic and last 3 seconds before they completely fall apart. Here's a little insight into the 3 pair for $20.00 dollar deal
So the stores are small and they have a ton of different variety of shoes to go through. The shoes are of different brands Soda, Classified and others you would find at any regular shoe store at the mall I'm not talking Macy's or anything but those little boutique shops they have inside the mall. I didn't find really anything this trip. I do plan on going back and picking some summer flats in particular sandles. They have a ton of variety of gladiators and slip on sandles. I even saw a pair in 4 different shades that I picked up for my Step Daughter and paid $12.99 for the pair knowing in the back of mind they probably had them here and kicking myself that I didn't wait. An extra 7 bucks and she could have not only gotten them in black but added brown and white to her summer shoe collection oh well teens can't wait sometimes. They have two locations in Long Beach both are on Anaheim Street and they are just called 3 pairs of shoes $20.o0 that's the name of the store simple and to the point. One thing I do not like if you don't find 3 pairs you don't get the $20.00 discount (that sucks) the price for each shoe varies from $9.99 each to $11.99 so they make it worth it to buy the 3 pairs. They also have kid shoes so if you have a kid they do have really cute summer sandles and some "weekend" sneakers as I like to call it. They actually have a pretty good selection and some are also pretty cute for kids mainly girls not so much boys. If you are in the LBC have maybe an hour to spare check them out you maybe pleasently surprised.
The next stop on my shoe hunt was a store named Footsies they sell 3 pairs of shoes for $25.00 the store I used to go to in Huntington Beach CA closed so I checked out the store in Stanton they have two other locations one in Costa Mesa (need to check out) and one in Orange (need to check out). There I only found two gems the tan wedges made by Classified retail price $24.99 loves them cute and comfortable and the red floral sling backs made by Anne Michelle who I looked up on line her shoes run anywhere between $21.99 to $40.99. I am wearing the red slingback today which I love!
Now if you don't know floral prints are making a huge comeback this summer. I am not a huge floral prints fan. I am not the floral type of wearing kinda girl. Reminds me of my grandma but the shoes were very cute and I paired them with some jeans and believe it or not a grey shirt which made the shoes pop because they have a pink grey beige and red floral tone to them. The great thing about Footsies is you can buy a gift card for $25.00 this buys three pairs of shoes if you find two they stamp the two you found on the gift card and you can come back at a later date and find your last pair. This is great I hate settling for a pair of shoes I may or may not wear. If you don't buy the gift card they do sell the shoes individually but the cost is $12.99 pair so it's really not worth it.
My shopping adventures continue for more wedges and or sandles because of my gift card but if you would like to get an idea of what 3 pairs for $20.00 and Footsies has to offer here is a website I usually look at first before I go and either find the same shoes or something very similar http://www.lovemyshoes.com/ they have some cute shoes but the prices not that great. So if your in LBC, Costa Mesa, Stanton or Orange check out these stores and Happy Bargain Shopping!
