Cheap is my favorite adjective for a price. For any of you soon-to-be brides, or for anyone who’s going to attend any sort of party, or for anyone who wants to have a killer pair of shoes for a party they may get invited to, pay attention. I’m going to tell you how I landed my pretty shoes.
Step 1: Buy a lovely, but plain pair of shoes for cheap. You can scout eBay (where I found mine), Etsy, discount stores, etc. Here are some finds that I dug up in about 30 seconds:
Lpalmrxo is selling a gorgeous Bill Levkoff dress, style 430, in plum. She’s asking $145 for the long size 6 dress. Six other dresses may be available if you’re interested in purchasing them for all your bridesmaids.

… which make me think of board shorts, which make me think of the beach. And down the rabbit trail… (lamb trail?) I go.
Anyboard, I pieced this bad boy together for a long time. Who knew it would be so difficult? Somehow, Snippet & Ink manages to make one every other day. She may make hers in Photoshop, but I was going non-technical and cropping my images in PowerPoint. I’ll show you a little tutorial and then the finished product!

Long story short; I ran a half marathon at the end of June and now I’m missing half my right big-toenail and half of the left big-toenail is still bruised. When I ran a full marathon my feet were fine, but something about this half just ruined my toenails. And the bummer is that it’s taken 2.5 months for the nails to almost get halfway there, and I don’t really have a full 2.5 months left until our wedding.
This leads me to my need for closed-toed shoes. And since Mr. Moonbeam slouches, I’ll have to wear flats, too. (Don’t worry tall brides, I’m rocking some heels at the rehearsal!) Closed-toed probably makes sense for our fall wedding, but I’m kinda bummed to be forced to limit my shoe options, and at some point I might want to take them off, even if they are flats. Boo to ugly bridal toes! But YAY to fun bridal shoes. Maybe I’ll thrive under the constraints of my search.
These are fun, and I like the color, but they may not be snazzy enough for the big day.

Isn’t almost every girl a fan of Sex and the City? I think the appeal of the show is that everyone who watches it sees a little of themselves in one or more of the characters. One of the things I share in common with Carrie Bradshaw is a love of shoes. Although I’ve never spent more than about $40 on a pair of heels (while Carrie claimed in one episode that she has spent $40,000 on them), I still have a great appreciation for all the expensive shoe designers and their fabulous creations. I consider one designer in particular to be no less than an absolute genius:
Louboutin is to me what Manolo Blahnik is to Carrie (although she is occasionally seen prancing around in Loubies). I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I’ve lusted over his designs. But I could never bring myself to justify the purchase of a pair because of the sky high price tag that is always attached to them.
But then I got engaged and started planning my wedding.

“You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on me feet.” - Cher, Clueless
Like many brides before me (and I’m sure many brides after me), I cannot make up my mind when it comes to my shoes. Two weeks ago I showed you all these lovelies and I was determined to make them mine.
That was until I saw the shoes of this lovely bride—my friend, Alisa.

I’m in a shoe slump. What to do about these shoes?
I bought these Ann Taylor Gelsi flats several months ago for about $40, but I’ve been uncertain about them ever since they arrived. There’s just something not quite right about them.
They’re not the right shade of blue, and the heel pinches me just a tad.
Being so fussy about a pair of shoes is making me feel like a bridezilla, frankly, and I don’t like it. I shouldn’t care this much about something I’ll probably only wear for a few hours before kicking them off and going barefoot. There’s just something that feels so wildly beautiful about wearing fancy dresses barefoot, don’t you think?
