But what the savvy shopper thought was going to be a stylish pair of sandals perfect for evenings abroad and warm summer days, instead turned out to be an epic fail.
Making light of her blunder, Sha took to social media to show off her hilarious error - which saw her accidentally order the sandals, which she thought would be a gorgeous dupe of the £610 Oran sandals from Hermes, in a children 's size.
Posting on Dogspotting Society, a public Facebook group with 1.4 million members, Sha uploaded snaps of her tiny shoes, which are the same size as her hand.
Not only this, but she also shared pictures of her dog wearing the sandals - and it's left thousands of people in hysterics.
Alongside the post, the Shein shopper joked: "One woman's Shein fail is another's treasure.'
She then confirmed: 'Been waiting weeks for my new holiday shoes and I've been done dirty but we found a new use."
But although Sha can't wear her new sandals, she acknowledged that they've gone down a treat with her pooch, as she added: 'She's absolutely rocking them and loving it.'
As well as this, Sha later confessed to her blunder and wrote: 'They did say kids in the description but I completely missed that.
'Greatest mistake I've ever made.'
Sha's post quickly racked up 120,000 likes and has since been re-shared on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 859,600 members.
From Shein to Hermes: Viral Fashion Hack
A user named Liyana Leena re-shared the hilarious blunder alongside laughing emojis and in just nine hours, it has amassed 9,900 likes, 1,300 comments and 428 shares.
Social media users couldn't believe their eyes at Sha's blunder and stressed the importance of always reading reviews and double checking the sizing when buying items from Shein.
One person said: 'Always read the reviews when ordering from Shein.'
Another added: 'Hahahahah, at least I'm not the only one.'
A third commented: 'Lol, always check the sizes before you order.'
Whilst in uncontrollable laughter, someone else beamed: 'You've made my night.'
At the same time, another user wrote: 'This made me laugh my head off.'
What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.

Love Island Ofcom complaints skyrocket to 9000 as viewers blast 'abusive' behaviour leaving stars 'broken' - and ANOTHER on-screen romp in shared bedroom sparks major backlash
Love Island Ofcom complaints have skyrocketed to a whopping 9000. Viewers of the ITV2 dating show have blasted the 'abusive' behaviour that has left stars 'broken' and ANOTHER on-screen romp which has sparked major backlash. 9,339 viewers were very unhappy some of the scenes that occurred during the programme - with the majority being about the alleged bullying towards Shakira Khan, 22. The complaints were registered with Ocfcom and now the watchdog is investigating the show. Shakira and Harry Cooksley, 30, recently got back together after he went exclusive with Helena Ford, 29, leaving her heartbroken. The trio had been involved in a very messy love triangle from the very start of the series, after originally coupling up with Shakira, and then deciding to be with Helena. Many have questioned Harry's behaviour throughout the show. Despite sharing their concern over Shakira, many have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share how well Shakira has been perceived. 'Shakira is the most respectful, self aware, mature person in Love Island history, never mind the fact that she's only 22.' 'Shakira is so real that she's willing to leave the villa without a man or winning instead of faking it with Conor till the end, if anything we can be proud of her for staying true to herself, but damn Harry?!?' '"I do like him, I just don't like him enough," you know what Shakira that's real.' 'Well you can't say Shakira is a game player! She could have faked it with Ty and Conor to get to the final and potentially win but looks like she dgaf about winning or getting to the final.' Duty of care is available to all Islanders 24/7. But 29 people did take to Ofcom to share their concerns about Harry after he opened up about his true feelings towards Shakira. The publication reported that 298 were made about the way Blu Chegini, 26, spoke to Toni Laites, 24, during an argument - and accused the star of 'stirring drama' to get more 'air time' as final approaches. Megan Clarke, 24, made a shock return to the villa last week after getting brutally dumped from the villa - and this led onto 55 complains about it. Daily Mail contacted ITV for comment. Meanwhile others took to social media to share their complaints about some of the Islanders getting frisky in the communal bedroom. Earlier this week viewers pointed out that Meg Moore, x, and Dejon Noel-Williams, x, had close under the sheets during Monday and Tuesday's episodes. One said on X: 'Meg and Dejon having sex is making me sick I'm making a complaint to OFCOM.' 'Ffs every night Meg and Dejon having sex save our eyes plz.' 'I do not want to see Meg and Dejon having sex twice producers. My day is ruined.' 'I feel like Meg and Dejon is sexually assaulting me in my own home. Please don't ever show them having sex on my screen again please!' 'WE DON'T WANT TO SEE MEG AND DEJON HAVING SEX.' Last week it was revealed that Love Island had racked up more than one thousand Ofcom complaints with fans appalled by the 'misogyny and bullying' on the ITV2 show, which has reduced stars to tears. The recent few weeks of the series have been full of drama, so it's no surprise that viewers have taken to the telly regulator to share their concerns. The complaints that have been made have been registered with Ofcom, the regulator will not be investigating the show. According to The Sun, a whopping 280 people took to the broadcasting watchdog to shared their complaints over Harrison Solomon, 22, Dejon Noel-Williams, 26, and 30-year-old Harry Cooksley's alleged misogynic behaviour. Meanwhile others (247 people) shared their concern about Shakira after some alleged bullying. And there are some episodes in particular that concerned viewers. The instalment that aired on July 20 received a number of complaints - including 222 viewers that weren't happy about Dejon's behaviour towards women. And a number of islanders raised some eyebrows on July 17. 69 people complained about Harrison's alleged misogynic behaviour and a further 27 took to the regulator to share concern about Shakira's well-being. Love Island's episode on July 15 bagged 184 in total about a number of different things. 107 people complained about Harrison's alleged misogynic behaviour and 44 weren't happy with how Lauren Wood, 26, was perceived on the show. 34 others thought that there was some bullying behaviour towards Shakira and Toni. Before entering the villa, the show share a number of care protocols with the stars, including training in language and behaviour. They are also told to suspend social media and are given ongoing support before, during and after they take part in the programme. ITV's official website states: 'Programme contributors will be offered a full package of measures to ensure they remain supported prior to, during and after the filming period on the show. 'After an initial trial period, the show will now formally introduce a guideline asking participants to pause social media handles and accounts for the duration of their time on the show, to ensure that both the Islanders and their families are protected from the adverse effects of social media.' The welfare services that islanders are offered include: comprehensive psychological support, training on impacts of socal media, financial management, conversations regarding the impact of participation on the show. They are also offered an aftercare package and guidance and advice on taking on management.

What Martha Stewart really thinks about Meghan Markle 'following in her footsteps' - as she questions Duchess' 'authenticity' but lavishes praise on Gwyneth Paltrow
Meghan Markle has been dubbed the 'new Martha Stewart ' after reinventing herself as a homemaker and influencer after leaving royal life. But Martha herself appears less convinced that the Duchess of Sussex could be her successor as the next Queen of Entertaining. 'I hope she knows what she's talking about', America's most trusted lifestyle expert has said, the Daily Mail can reveal today. Ms Stewart, 83, has been accused of taking a thinly-veiled swipe question Meghan's authenticity in a new interview about celebrities following in her footsteps. Meghan, 43, has launched her Netflix show With Love, Meghan and her As Ever brand this year, to mixed reviews. Ms Stewart said bluntly: 'Meghan, I don't really know very well. I hope she knows what she's talking about'. She added of the Duchess: 'Authenticity, to me, is everything, and to be authentic and knowledgeable about your subject matter is extremely important'. Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle shocked fans in March as they joined forces to shutdown ongoing speculation of 'feud' between them in a special Q&A where Meghan appeared in Paltrow's kitchen But Martha then lavished praise on Meghan and Harry's neighbour Gwyneth Paltrow, praising her 'very successful' career as an actress turned entrepreneur. Royal watchers claimed this was more shade thrown on the Duchess, with several claiming Ms Stewart was 'calling out' Meghan. Martha gushed in an interview with Yahoo Australia: 'Gwyneth has been very successful; she created quite an interesting body of businesses. She's admired. She won an Oscar for heaven's sake as an actress. She's pretty powerful.' Martha's comments emerged as Meghan Markle announced another product coming to her As Ever line. Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle joined forces in March an attempt to shut down rumours of a feud between them. The 52-year-old Oscar winner addressed the speculation during an Instagram Q&A after one of her 8.7million followers asked if she was 'comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?' Paltrow, filming in the kitchen of her sprawling home in the Montecito, replied: 'I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever.' She then turned her head to ask someone off screen: 'Do you understand this?' She quickly panned her iPhone camera to her right to reveal Montecito neighbour Meghan sitting beside her at the counter, who playfully shrugged her shoulders, giggled and leaned back in her chair while eating a piece of pie. The joint appearance comes amid comparisons between the Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix show With Love, Meghan and lifestyle brand As Ever and Paltrow's Goop empire - sparking rumours of a potential feud. Paltrow had posted a video of herself preparing breakfast which were similar to scenes from the Netflix series. She used the song used in adverts for Meghan's series, This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole. The actress turned wellness guru, who founded her wellness company in 2008, has defended the duchess setting up a lifestyle brand, saying 'everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try'. Meghan, 43, launched her lifestyle brand earlier this year, releasing the first products in April, which included a range of teas, a raspberry spread, and a limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb, amongst other things. She followed it up with an apricot spread and another honey, and in July, she expanded into the world of alcohol when she dropped her own wine - the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé. Each release has been met with fierce excitement from her fans, and every product has sold out pretty quickly. Now, the Duchess of Sussex 's brand has announced another batch of her Napa Valley wine, made in 2024 unlike the last bottles, which were from 2023 'It marries the same harmony of notes from our first blend and creates an elegant medley of delicate yet memorable flavour,' reads a press release. 'You'll want to clink glasses with friends as the sun sets, toasting to a summer of joy. 'Barefoot or in sandals, dressed up or dressed down, this rosé may become your favorite accessory for alfresco lunches and dinners at dusk.' In the release, As Ever listed some of the positive feedback customers had given the company over its first rosé, which included comments like, '10 out of 10,' 'perfect,' and 'elevated flavour.' 'This affirmed all of the love, time and effort our team, and our founder, poured into curating this blend to evoke the sun drenched spirit of Napa Valley, and the breathtaking tenor of the California Coast,' As Ever added. 'Thank you for filling our cup. Now it's time for us to fill your glass! We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week.' The brand also posted to Instagram with a series of images showing the new wine resting in beach sand. It was uploaded alongside a caption that read: 'Oh, how we love seeing the world through rose colored glasses. Rosé colored glasses? Perhaps even better. Our new vintage of As Ever's beloved rosé is available next week. 'Stay tuned for more details and timing.' As Ever's first wine went on sale on July 1 and sold out within the hour. Customers were able to purchase three bottles for $90, six bottles for $159, and 12 bottles for $300. But the Daily Mail's insider at Netflix, her business partner, has said that Meghan's rosé, which promises to 'capture the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments ', has not been a huge success and this was another 'nail in the coffin' for the $100million broadcast deal. 'The wine isn't selling', they said, adding: 'There's no great demand whatsoever'. Last month, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that the alcoholic beverage is made by Fairwinds Estate, a California winery that creates bespoke wines for celebrities. The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is described on the bottle as a 'delicately balanced rosé with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' It has a 14.5 percent alcohol by volume for the 750ML bottle. The Daily Mail FEMAIL team tried the rosé and while the wine was smooth, we couldn't easily detect the notes of stone fruit. In fact, it tasted quite bland, and almost water-y. In addition, the rosé had some acidic notes, leaving a somewhat uncomfortable sensation at the back of our throats after swallowing. In the end, the verdict was the wine lacked flavour and tasted affordable and ordinary. It wasn't terrible - but it certainly wasn't great. We felt the rosé just didn't taste like you bought it at a fancy vineyard, where it's supposed to be made, but rather, like a wine you would be served at a work happy hour. The FEMAIL team also reviewed her initial set of products, and found that Meghan's raspberry spread was too thin, too sweet, and very runny. Her hibiscus tea was extremely bitter with heavy notes of floral, with one taste tester comparing it to 'drinking lip balm.' 'It tasted like dirty dishwater,' another FEMAIL writer shared. Some of us couldn't even bear to swallow it, as one person even spat it back into the cup.
