Endless.com

I recently started a new job working on Endless.com, a website dedicated to shoes, handbags and accessories built by Amazon.com. As excited as I am to be working on a website selling shoes and accessories, so far it's been really bad for my wallet. One of Amazon's core principles is that we strive to be Earth's most customer centric company, and to be customer centric you have to really put yourself in the customer's shoes and be a customer. Which is exactly what I've been doing. Endless offers free overnight shipping, free returns for 365 days. And when I say free overnight shipping, it's literally you order your shoes today and they show up at your door tomorrow. How awesome is that? It's not quite like having the salesperson at Nordstrom bringing over those 10 pairs of shoes that you want to try on and you get to choose which ones you want to buy, but it's as close to it as it gets when it comes to online shopping. I've been in this new job for 2 weeks and I've already bought 2 pairs of shoes. At this rate, you do that math...

Matisse Women's Swirl Scrunch Flat - $58. After the hateful Coach metallic flats, I wanted a pair of actual comfy gold flats. These are really soft and hug your feet. I have never heard of Matisse as a brand but I'm giving these a shot.

Madden Girl Women's Singerr Mid Shaft Boot - $64.95 I have never tried Madden Girl. It must be their lower end junior brand like BCBGirls. I totally have a thing for boots right now because it's getting to be winter and I'm taking the bus to work. I really liked the idea of grey scrunchy boots and these boots got good reviews on Endless. However, I was weary because these are not real leather. Well, I tried them on and they are quite adorable and comfortable. I actually do think I could go shopping all day in them. However, I feel like you're sacrificing a bit of quality for this line. You're trading leather for synthetics and stitching for glue. I think I'd rather spend a bit more for something that's well made.

Your job sounds fun! Can you look out for nice wedding shoes for me? White or silver rhinestones.
