A Two-Shoe Bride Part III

July 16th, 2008 @ 6:51 pm by Mrs. Pomegranate

I’m so very sad to say that my beautiful KORS Allie Sandals from Gilt Groupe will not be shipped to me. I received a notice that the order would finally be shipped and when I went to track the package, I noticed the following message.

http://www.weddingbee.com/Oh no! They sold my shoes to someone else!


Well hive, I’m back at square one for my Ceremony Shoes. Here’s my current criteria for Ceremony Shoes:

  1. Size 8.
  2. Easy to wear and walk in on grass (ie. no stillettos).
  3. Comfortable.
  4. Preferably a black and white/cream stripe - but a black and white/cream pattern might do.
  5. Preferably not a leather exterior, in case dyng the fabric to match becomes an issue.
  6. Under $200, but would prefer less than $150 - and would even more so appreciate a phenomenal sale. The bigger the discount, the better!

Here are a few options I’ve considered so far - but none of them have truly felt like “the ones.”

shoe-bluefly.jpg
Rafe New York Black Striped ‘Vanessa’ Wedge Sandals
$112.99 (50% off) @ Bluefly.com
Sooo close to the original shoes - but it doesn’t seem as dressy or fun.

shoe-bluefly2.jpg
Christian Louboutin Black Polka Dot ‘Menorca’ Peep Toe Espadrilles
$248 (20$% off) @ Bluefly.com
WAY cute - but not in my size or my budget.

These Mohop shoes aren’t in my price range either, but are extremely versatile. I could definitely wear them again and with pretty much anything because the ribbons are interchangeable. They come with the ribbon set of your choice - and take a look at the black/white stripe in the Neutrals ribbon set shown below.

http://www.weddingbee.com/Mohop Cherry Wedge Platform Sandals
$298 @ Mohop

http://www.weddingbee.com/I love the fourth ribbon from the top - it’s almost perfect!

Still - nothing is quite the $40 fabulous shoe I fell in love with before. I guess I will just have to keep searching. Perhaps a pair of the Allies will turn up on eBay within my budget - or perhaps I will discover new love!

Please help me shoe shop! Do any of you have any shoe shopping suggestions for me?

The original pair were really great. Sorry it didn’t happen for you. Not sure if this helps but the Nordstrom half yearly sale begins Friday I think and they may have deals on shoes.

I also saw this
http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/37657219/c/151.html

The deals at Gilt Groupe are awesome. Would it be possible to invite me to join? Here’s my email address if it’s possible. atsmiley@gmail.com

i’m definitely wearing naturalizer at our wedding… they’re no longer “old lady shoes.” they have some great designers now. these were the only ones that really fit your criteria.
good luck

The Rafe pair actually strikes ME as more weddingy than the Kors ones - they’re not as chunky, and are still a wedge so you can walk in them…but that may just be me.

They’re adorable!!

I think that the first two are the best options. I don’t think that the third pair look very comfortable or outdoorsy…even though they are wood.

I really like these…but I’m not sure that there is enough black in there for ya!

http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=35988&pid=571462&scid=571462002

Also, I tried to look at the shoes on gilt groupe but wasn’t able to. Is there a limit to how many people you can invite? If there isn’t please invite me!!! I’m still in need of a shower dress, rehearsal dress and shoes for both!!! my email is afilesi at gmail dot com

These seem to be very similar to the original KORS pair - Ann Klein New York - Belen - wedge botton black and white dotted fabric, available in size 8 and at $92.50 its still manageable - http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1021707&pg=5031585

Good Luck!

Darn! The allie shoes are on ebay for $40 but they are size 7! The Vanessa is super cute too and the Mohop are so intriguing. Could you justify by saying it is 5 shoes in 1 so they really only cost $59.60 each :)

Wow! You guys are all amazing shoppers! Thank you so much - I’ve been pooring over these and checking them all out.

@Miss Green Tea: Ooh yeah those Kate Spades caught my eye too - but do you think the raffia instead of white would look weird?

@Lindsay: I loooove these! They are so cute!

@kristeen: Those AK espadrilles are TOTALLY knockoffs of some Loubs I’ve been trying to track down! So cute!

I think I’m going to keep my eye out for my favorites on eBay to try and get a deal. Thanks again - you guys are awesome!

I’m not sure if your quest has been fulfilled, but I just saw these shoes and thought they were adorable. Might be too stiletto-y, but doesn’t hurt to pass along (plus they are on uber-sale)…
