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.
How does Shein work and are other brands listed on their website?
Known for their cheap clothing, Shein sells its own products and acts as a marketplace for third-party sellers.
They do not sell designer brands, and in the past have been plagued by accusations of counterfeits and copyright violations.
Previously brands like Ralph Lauren and Oakley have sued the fashion giant for violating their intellectual property rights.
One person said: 'Always read the reviews when ordering from Shein.'
Another added: 'Hahahahah, at least I'm not the only one.'
This made me laugh my head off

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.'

Terry's Chocolate is launching a ‘top secret flavour'
The Terry's Chocolate Orange is a British staple. While they're often reserved for stockings at Christmas, the treat is available all year round. And though many fans insist you 'can't beat' the original flavour, that hasn't stopped Terry's from trying. From mint chocolate balls to chocolate orange truffles and white chocolate treats, the chocolate brand has tested a range of new flavours over the years. And now it's teasing a 'top secret' new recipe – but fans are convinced they already know what it is. Terry's shared the news on its Instagram account with a picture of a golden envelope. 'Sealed, secret, and seriously delicious. Not long now…' the caption read. Naturally, chocolate lovers flooded the comments with guesses – the majority seemed to agree on one possibility. Pistachio. User @welliesandwaffles asked: 'It's going to be pistachio, isn't it?' While @ wrote: 'I feel like it's pistachio.' 'Don't tell me Pistachios,' @charlottejade_ added. Some were on board with the potential new flavour. User @amy_f_wills said that while the original chocolate orange 'cannot be beaten', the 'only other flavour worth doing is pistachio.' It's not a wild guess. Pistachio chocolate has been everywhere this year – largely thanks to the Dubai chocolate trend that exploded on TikTok. Dubai chocolate, which is filled with crispy knafeh, pistachio cream and tahini spread, was first launched by Dubai-based firm Fix Dessrt Chocolatier in 2021. But the sweet treat really took off after influencer Maria Vehera shared a TikTok video of herself trying it, racking up over 120 million views. Suddenly, everyone wanted a bite. The trend sparked a global demand and has even been blamed for contributing to a global pistachio shortage, as brands rushed to create their own pistachio-inspired treats. Lindt launched its own Dubai chocolate-style bar while Aldi launched pistachio creme jars, while plenty of other pistachio products filled supermarket aisles. Still, not everyone is thrilled with another pistachio product. 'As long as it's not based on Dubai chocolate. Sick of hearing of it now,' @polly_199131 wrote under Terry's Chocolate Instagram post. Others suggested the secret flavour could be Caramel, which some fans were quick to point out is already in stores. User @Uknewestfoods commented: 'This can not be the caramel Terry's, which is literally already out in shops? More Trending 'Is it caramel that is already out?', asked @woofidin. The flavour was spotted on the Snack News & Reviews Facebook page last week. It doesn't contain any orange flavour at all. The Caramel treat is only available at Co-op and doesn't seem to be available online yet. Fans said it was 'delicious'. View More » Metro contacted Terry's to see what the potential new flavour could be, but so far they've remained tight-lipped. Still, that isn't stopping fans from speculating in the comments.

Oasis fan says she slipped in beer yards away from where man fell to his death
An Oasis concertgoer has claimed she slipped on beer and fell into the row in front of her just yards away from when Lee Claydon tragically plunged to his death at Wembley Stadium An Oasis fan claimed she slipped on alcohol just yards away from where a man tragically plunged to his death at the band's concert at Wembley Stadium. Lee Claydon, 45, is believed to have fallen from the venue's upper tier just as the sell-out gig was coming to an end on Saturday night. The dad, from Bournemouth, had gone to the long-awaited show with his brother Aaron, and his niece and nephew but the fan's dad claimed he slipped on spilled beer. Another Oasis concertgoer has since claimed she also slipped on alcohol and said she saw another man, a few rows up from her, fall on her. It comes after a mum was left 'traumatised' after a dog walker pushes her in canal as she cycles to work. Dad's tragic three-word post hours before plunging to his death at Oasis gig Jade, 31, from Essex, claimed she saw other fans suffer from minor injuries after falling in the upper tier of the 90,000 capacity stadium, according to The Sun. The highest stands in the world famous venue can be around 170ft above ground level. Oasis fan Jade claimed as man a few rows above her fell and tumbled into her, causing her to also fall onto the row in front of her, as she complained about alcohol and drunk concertgoers. She said: "The floor was slippery from loads of spilled drinks. My bag got soaked. Everyone in the seated section was jumping and dancing and way drunker than other concerts." She added: "I just got up and carried on. But today I have a dodgy ankle, a few bruises and hurt knees." Other people at the Wembley gig took to social media to complain about the stadium's upper tier. One person, on Facebook, wrote: "The top tier is bloody steep. It's dreadful the barrier is so low." But another fan said: "18 years worth of events, most with 90,000 people attending, and never an incident like it. It's a tragic accident, and blaming it on the venue or security is ridiculous." Medics rushed to Lee and desperately tried to save his life but he tragically died at the scene. His devastated father Clive Claydon, 75, claims his son plunged to his death after slipping on beer, according to The Sun. Clive said: "There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell. I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident. All I really know is there was beer everywhere, he slipped, and we don't know the rest of it. "I wasn't there so I don't know what happened, but it will all come out. I am so devastated. I can't understand how it happened, I've never been to Wembley, but you would expect the health and safety to be good. He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer, who doesn't at a concert, but he certainly was not drunk." After the news emerged, Oasis said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show this weekend. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: "Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. We are regularly inspected by certifying authorities both on an event day and throughout the year, and we regularly review and test our plans to ensure adherence to the conditions set within the stadium's general safety certificate. "We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders - including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the police - to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue."
