Melissa’s 2017 Spring/Summer Collection Is All You’ll Want For Christmas
There is a simple fact about girls out there that every guy should take note. A girl’s best friend is shoes! For us girls a pair of shoes is the final piece to an outfit, what we wear on our feet pretty much ties our whole outfit together! Want to dress up a pair of jeans? Put on a pair of heels! Want to dress down a sleek maxi dress? Slip on a pair of sneakers!
Shoes can pretty much make or break a girl’s day (and your day too guys out there!), putting on a pair of ugly flats or uncomfortable heels can really put a girl in a bad mode! Thankfully for us, there are a few brands out there who are all about style AND substance!
Melissa
