Juju Jellies review - Turquoise Maxi
 Annyeong~  First of all, I'm sorry! I said that I was going to blog regularly (and it's been a while oops) but I've been pretty busy lately and I should have more time now. I've wrote a list of things I want to blog about, so stay tuned! This post is going to be a review on Juju Jelly Maxi shoes in the color Turquoise. I'm sure many of you will recognize these shoes and start to feel nostalgic if you had a similar pair when you were a child (I had glittery pink ones) and I think this is part of the reason why I like them so much. I feel like jelly shoes are a go to example for 1990's styled footwear and they're definitely becoming more popular and sparking up more interest. Juju is a british company and their shoes are harder to find outside of the UK, however I've found them in the US at Urban Outfitters, Topshop and American Apparel. Other British sites do ship internationally though, for example Debenhams which is where I ordered mine from (well actually my friend ordered them for me as a birthday present heh).  
Aren't they cute? I originally wanted the light pink color in the same style, but they ran out of my size. ;_; it's okay though because I really like this color too.
When I first saw these shoes I admit I thought they weren't so attractive and felt like they would just rub against my bare feet causing problems - because you know generally you wear sandals without socks - but then I started to see pictures online on fashion blogs etc. of people who were wearing them with socks, and I thought it actually looked really cute! And after looking through lots of pictures, the shoes started to grow on me and I started to really want a pair. Granted they don't go with everything, but I really like how they look on, and I pretty much always wear them with socks.
COMFORT
Surprisingly comfy! <- (with socks).
I find that these shoes do press against my feet a little too hard when I'm not wearing socks, and they rub when I walk. However I've wore these shoes all day several times with socks and I've had no problem. I wouldn't recommend you walk around constantly all day in them though, because I did that and got two blisters.
SIZE
When buying these shoes I would say buy the size LOWER than the size you usually buy, because the sizes run big and I've read this from several different sources online. My shoes are too big for me, but I decided that as they don't really rub too much and are comfortable that I'd keep them (and they didn't have any smaller sizes). I didn't get to try mine on as I ordered them online, but if you're buying them from the store you should definitely try them first. Also remember that if you're buying online from a UK store and don't live in the UK, the shoe sizes are different so you should check you're ordering the correct size.

 I like to pair these shoes with an overalls dress I have (overalls but with a skirt instead of pants) and I think they also work well with skater skirts and high waisted shorts. Overall, I would have bought these shoes if they weren't a gift and I'm glad I own a pair! I've had quite a few compliments and I just think they're really cute and great for summer.
