Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Shoes Shoes Shoes

I love shoes, especially high heels although I am already relatively tall (5'7). One of my first wedding related searches had to do with shoes. I don't want to wear white shoes because I had to buy a pair for a wedding I walked in last summer and I hardly ever wear white shoes. I want to buy new shoes that I can also wear AFTER the wedding.
I've heard great things about Cole Haan shoes. Supposedly they do not hurt like so many other pairs of heels. I plan on dancing the night away and I don't want to go barefoot or change into flip flops although this may happen. His Cole Haan Nike Air high heel shoe collection is said to be a godsend! He teamed up with Nike and placed Nike zoom air bags in the heel and ball. The result is a shoe that feels almost as great as wearing your favorite sneakers except they look better! Ladies, you do not have to sacrifice your heel fetish for comfort anymore. Now you can have both because some of the shoes are cute and are still 3'-4' in height!



They also have a new bridal collection.






Like many women I think, I also have this dream fantasy of one day owning a pair of Manolo Blahniks. I just love them and I think they would look amazing with my dress.
Here is the pair that I would buy if it fit in my budget. They are elegant, timeless, and can be worn over and over after the wedding.













So anyways I found another interesting way to get new shoes. Not sure how good it is but it seems legit. I'm not brave enough to try it but maybe someone out there is. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian founded a new shoe company called ShoeDazzle. Described as the "premier shoe society", fashionistas everywhere can join this network for $39.00 a pair/or month. After filling out a survey detailing your personal taste, renowned stylists personally pick out 5 pairs of shoes. The shoes are delivered right to your home and you have the option of picking one pair. Every month, new shoes are sent to your home for your personal enjoyment! The shoes are pretty cute and the stylists have dealt with a few celebs that you are familiar with such as: Kimberly Locke, Audrina Partridge, Sophia Bush, Paris Hilton, Kanye West, Carmen Electra, just to name a few Check out the shoes for your personal enjoyment.

Other more budget friendly way to get new shoes are: zappos.com and gojane.com,
Craiglist and Ebay are other options. I see tons of people selling their wedding dresses and shoes on craigslist. I have myself purchased a new pair of BCBG pumps for a very low price, so its worth looking into.
I have my heart set on the Manolo Blahniks so I guess I have a lot more shoe shopping to do.

Happy shoe shopping!
