I LOVE SHOES!

I am TOO excited today's edition of my February I Love Series! Just because this was not first in the series does not mean that shoes are not important to me. I have a very good friend who I have stayed up with on the phone (she lives far, far away...I miss her *insert sad face*) shopping for shoes online! Sometimes we begin a new shoe discovery. She's finds one and says, "Oh, go to this site!" Then, I do the same. It can truly last for hours. My favorite pair of shoes that I own are these pink, fuschia, green, butterfly, floral mix BCBGs. Perhaps I'll snap a picture of them and post later. I wanted them so bad when I first saw them online, but, alas, they were not within my financial comfort zone for purchase. Then, I found them on EBay for a steal!

When it comes to shoes for brides, I am not very traditional. My friends would be interested to know that, as I am typically fairly traditional. I just love the idea of doing something a little special, though. I don't see a problem with non-white shoes for the bride. More often than not, your shoes are not seen. But, there is a trend that is changing that. So, I have found some lovelies that I think you will enjoy. Hopefully, it will help give you some ideas for your special day.

These belong to my 'shoe friend', Marva. She is responsible for my addiction to shoes. She won't take credit for it, but it is SO her fault! She had some wonderful embellishments made to her wedding shoes and they were gorgeous! Her gown had gold beading on the bodice and her shoes complimented it perfectly!


Here is an example of doing something very different and upexpected. This is my friend Trina who got married in November 07 in her hometown (my former home) of New Orleans. You can tell by the gown which shoe belongs to the bride. Sparkly, sparkly! When we took this picture, one of the catering people came over to me to ask why we were taking pictures of shoes. I looked at her like she had two heads! I mean, doesn't everybody take pictures of their shoes?! There has to be a reason?! Since my friend was such a cutey bride, I just HAD to post a pic of her! We had SO much fun at her wedding! I was sweating after the ONE HOUR second line! Miss ya'll!



These lovelies belong to my bride Krystal who was married in October 2007. This was her fourth pair of shoes, I think. She couldn't decide. The pair I saw before she stepped out of the limo in these were a pair of absolutely adorable Kate Spades. But, in the end she did end up with the best pair for her gowns. Krystal has great taste, so you wouldn't expect anything less! Photo credit to Jake at Studio J.


I found these on The Brides Cafe. Photo credit to Mel Barlow. I just love the instepof these. Traditional, yet modern. What a wonderful combination! I would rock these so hard! You don't even know! Sexy, sexy!

So go out and buy a pair of shoes today! For no other reason that just to do it. Shoes make you feel sexy and sassy and powerful. I know it's not just me, come on now...
