I’m In “Love” With These Shoes

November 4th, 2010

I wanted to share with you some awesome shoes I found today courtesy of http://iloveyoumuch.com. It’s a great blog site with lots of quirky personal entries from Lauren de la Croix aka @fiftyfootbride. Her affinity for shoes seems very similar to mine. I know I always could use another pair. The search for the perfect bridal shoe brought her to the most cutest pair of Christian Louboutin flats I have ever seen. The Christian Louboutin “Love” flats. They are too cute!
How can you not love these shoes?

Shoes that have a classic look are something I can really appreciate. Flats are a universal style that is always in fashion. I can see myself wearing these “Love” flats today or even in ten years when I’m sure people would love them just the same.

Lauren really likes these shoes. Who could blame her? I share her excitement with these flats.

These great Christian Louboutin flats also come in black, but do brides really want to wear black on their big day? I’d save these for after the ceremony when just you and your hubby go out for a nice dinner or to a party.

 

Truly unique shoes. Any brave brides out there?

Now just for fun, Lauren posted these incredible shoes from United Nude that are appropriately called “lo res.” They truly are “low-resolution” shoes and while they look incredible and would make a bold statement on your wedding day, I’m not sure how many pain free steps these shoes can afford. Part art, part shoe, no one would say that these do not look incredible and wouldn’t  turn some heads.

Pick The Perfect Shoe

June 8th, 2010

Have you ever heard about the comment: why do women need so many pairs of shoes? Well, the truth is, women are in love with shoes and come hell or high water, they will certainly buy loads of shoes throughout their lifetime. After all, shoes should be matched with outfits, and different occasions call for different styles. Evening dresses, for instance, should need those immaculate Jimmy Choo’s, and not the comfortable Nike’s. Be that as it may, it is rational to say that women certainly need so many pairs of shoes. Women are also about social gatherings – weddings, proms, company parties, important dinners. What comes next after finding the perfect gown is the perfect pair of shoes. Therefore, after choosing one from a handful of wedding dresses, a lady should choose the perfect heels. So, how exactly should you choose the pair of shoes that’s perfect for your gown? How do you mix and match shoes and evening dresses?

 

Color

 

To know which shoes to wear, ask yourself first: do you want to match the color of your dress or would you like contrast? If you want to be all-matching, then choosing your shoes is simple. Gold evening dresses with gold heels, little black dresses with black stilettos. But if you want to go for contrast, you can always play with colors. Nowadays, you usually see ladies wearing black evening dresses and pairing them with delicious red shoes! That is a sight to behold. Another option for you is to match the color of your shoes with the color of your handbag.

 

Style

 

Choosing the style of your shoes is also sometimes a difficult task. A little guide for you would be to choose a pair that complements the embellishments in your dress. For instance, if yours is one of those evening dresses that are accented with rhinestones, then choose a pair of shoes that have similar decoration. Also, if your gown is made of flowing, silk material, then strappy sandals are ideal. On the other hand, if it is made of heavy silk, then leather pumps or velvet shoes would fit them perfectly.

 

Height

 

How high should you go when it comes to heels? Well, it all depends. First, it depends on the length of your evening dress. A 5-inch stiletto would be ideal if you’re all about sweeping evening gowns. But the same heel height won’t be ideal if your date is not that tall. After all, our society smiles if between a couple, the guy is taller than the woman. When attending weddings, it might not be a very good idea to wear super high heels – else you risk tripping and ruining the wedding decoration.

 

Comfort

 

Above anything else, comfort should be your main gauge when choosing the perfect shoes. Regardless of the beauty of a pair of stilettos, but if you are not comfortable being in it, then you would look scrappy. Uncomfortable shoes would look awkward on you. Therefore, in matching evening dresses and shoes, make sure to consider comfort. It is the number rule in shoe-selection. Now do you understand why we need so many shoes?

Just “I Do” It

May 12th, 2010

 

Who says wedding shoes have to be uncomfortable to be stylish? Not this bride. We all desire a very fashion forward style of shoe for our big day and know that it will come at the price of our tootsies. We all have been to weddings where the bride is seen wearing these amazing heels only to take them off and wear flip-flops the rest of the party. Well now Cole Haan bridal shoes have come up with three new shoe designs that look stylish and incorporate Nike Air technology. That’s right… now you too can be like Mike, well sort of, and enjoy the comforts of a Nike Air shoe with your bridal shoe. What makes these bridal shoes unique is their ingeniously concealed Nike Air technology in the heel and forepart. Judging from the photos, you could never tell these shoes held a special comfortable secret. We’ll just keep that between you and me. Anyone out there wore these shoes? I wonder if they really feel “Nike Air” comfortable. Still, any effort to keep us looking pretty in heels and not in pain gets my vote.
