I Dream Of Valentino
February 16th, 2008 @ 4:27 pm by Mrs. Peacock
I would like to tell you a story of a bride who became tired of planning her wedding and began to get frustrated with her long engagement. At least mentally, all her vendors were booked and her DIY projects planned. September sounded SO FAR AWAY. In her wedding frustration, she contemplated changing her date and hoping that her vendors were free, or meeting up with a Justice of the Peace or, finally, hopping a flight to Vegas. The endless Chicago snow had also begun to drive her crazy, so a quickie beach wedding sounded fabulous, too. Wow… really, really fabulous.
After her fiance advised her to knock it off, this frustrated bride decided that she needed to console herself with pretty gold designer wedding shoes to match all the pretty gold jewelry she had been falling in love with lately.
Manolo Blahnik
Prada

Prada (super sexy back)
Valentino.
Schucks! There is a Valentino bag to match.
Shoes and bag from Bergdorf Goodman.
What’s worse than being down with the way too long engagement blues? Drooling over shoes that you can’t afford. Poor girl.

Here are some other great shoes to check out. It’s fun to splurge on shoes. http://honeybeeweddings.blogspot.com/2008/02/hello-lover.html
Oh the Prada’s are…..exquisite. There are almost no words.
yeah… the Prada looks amazing–a lot like the one posted on the boards recently, but that one was black with a flower-shaped ornate heel….
but totally love the Manolo Blahnik pair as well–such a sweet looking color
ah, love… thank you for the eye/shoe candy post!
I too fell in love with some Valentino heels - in fact they make your beloved gold clutch in striped satin to match my heels as well. I wrote a blog for brides who can’t afford designer - but might be able to afford custom made shoes in their image! Check it out.
those prada shoes look HOT! i…i think i’m in LUST. must look away…
Hee, nothing like a little retail therapy to take away the engagement blues =P. I love the first Prada and the Valentinos. But I’m just a fan of sweet details like that.
those pradas are heavenly.
oooooh, I’ve been lusting over the red satin version of the Valentino ones. Unfortunately they cost about a month’s mortgage payment. damn. So pretty though, it’s almost worth it….
the valentino shoes + bag = to die for
prada.shoes.are.omg.HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where can i get the prada shoes?!
…the one with the flower on it
mamamiya- I found them on the Bergdorf Goodman website.
I have no idea which are my favorite! I love them all…
