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!

My inner Erin Brocovitch...

Ok So I used to think that I was this big movie buff. I always say that I love movies but in actuality, I have seen like 1% of the world's movies...I support African American films and all romantic comedies but my fiance always looks at me with disgust when he finds out what kinds of movies i have never seen (I'm not going to list them for fear of rejection and judgment). Neways, we were watching Erin Brocovitch last night when I was supposed be doing reseach homework. I've heard of said movie but never saw it. I am so glad that I finally saw it. My favorite line in the whole movie is : Bite my ass, Krispie Kremes!!"

She became my shero last night. She didn't care what anyone thought of her and always said what was on her mind. She also wore these crazy outfits that made all the females at her job hate her but that was mainly because they were all determined as my fiance would say. Half of the things that came out of her mouth were ridiculous but she always had a valid point. We live in a society where its so easy to care what others think. I have finally realized that people think about you less than you think, EXCEPT for your haters. They think about you all the time. I actually don't know if I have any haters right now, nor do I care but its kind of an ego booster to think that someone is always worrying about what you do. Ok, back to what I was saying, I have always been a very nice girl. I mind my manners and the whole nine. And sometimes I am so much nicer than I should be to people. If you knew what thoughts I had in my head, you would be completely and utterly shocked. Its so funny because my fiance (who will be refered as FI from here on out), my FI is like the male version of Erin Brocovitch who was played by Julia Roberts by the way. She is soo hot, she looked really good. Anyways, he is like her and he gets annoyed when I try to cage my inner Erin Brocovich. So my goal is not to necessarily become a bitch but to be more open with my feelings.

Anyways on the wedding front, I am following the DC Nearlyweds blog (its pretty good, you should read it sometime, http://www.dcnearlyweds.com/2008/11/i-like-your-shoooeeessss.html) and she was talking about her wedding shoes. Someone mentioned this shoe website http://www.6pm.com. I glanced at it briefly. It has some big names on there and on sale. Check it out. I might buy some for the upcoming holidays...or send FI my wish list...You should also look at http://www.edressme.com. They have some cute dresses for every occasion and they have designers like Nicole Miller and BCBG...blah blah blah...I am on my clothing and shoe kick right now aren't I? Just go with it.
Tout a l'heure!!!
