DIY Shoe Hats

February 4th, 2010 @ 1:30 pm by Miss Sewing

A week or so ago Sewing-Mom went ahead and ordered my suede red flats from Target.

Though they are lovely shoes, I think they need a hat. Anyone want to make some shoe-hats, as well?

Let’s round up some supplies.

They Do Exist!

February 4th, 2010 @ 10:50 am by Miss Scissors

For the past month or so, I’d been having doubts about whether or not the Louboutin Love Flats in cork would ever materialize. I could find no evidence of their existence, no nothin’. I’ve been waiting for these puppies since November 8th, sight-unseen, and I began to feel like I was just a dumb bride who got the run-around. I was afraid I was wasting time waiting on shoes that would turn out to be a mythical beast.

Just Call Me Goldishoes

February 4th, 2010 @ 10:19 am by Miss Ribbons

After receiving all three pairs of shoes, I did the comparison tests.

The Ninas, ordered at a half size smaller than I wear, fell off as soon I took a step.

The Martinez Valeros had a funny fit.

And then there was the Pelle Moda slide.

February 2nd, 2010 @ 12:01 pm by Miss Hamster

Today I had a major heartbreak.

I had to break up with my shoes.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but let me tell you about these shoes. Or even better, I’ll let the shoes speak for themselves:

I feel the need to explain here. I didn’t set out to buy them. But I *did* hunt around this past weekend for some wedding shoes, and these were on major…

This is not a mushy gushy post about how much I love Mr Trail Mix (I would never inflict that upon you all). Instead, I’m here with a public service announcement for anyone who will be wearing high heels in an outdoor setting.

I am a girl who loves her high heels. At only 5’3″ on a good day, heels are a necessity for me when…

If the Shoe Fits

January 28th, 2010 @ 5:13 pm by Miss Ribbons

With my first fitting coming up this weekend, it was time to order some shoes. I decided my color work-around would be black — re-wearable! So, the rest of my specifications were:

  • Low heel or a high heel with an ankle strap - my feet fall out of pumps otherwise
  • Satin, because I like to feel fancy
  • Under $150

Black satin shoes should be pretty easy to come by and…

I’m a farmer’s daughter living in rural Central California, but will always have a special place in my heart for the city. My future husband is a 27-year-old extraordinarily tall, exceptionally cute, and undoubtedly Canadian boy who was able to sweep me off my feet and take me for his bride. I love color, folksy songs that make me smile, interior design, kettle corn, my one-year-old puppy, Juno, and my fiance, of course!

Mooonths ago I fell in love with the most AMAZING shoes ever. Like, there are a lot of shoes that I dig, but these took my breath away. I would have ordered them right away had it not been for the $165 price tag. ($190 after tax!). I haven’t had shoes that expensive since, well… ever. I went back and forth on the matter…

Shoes Are Pretty

My first fitting is coming up and I was warned to bring all of my accoutrements, i.e. undergarments, veil, headpiece, SHOES.

I don’t have all that other stuff either, but I’m mostly freaked about shoes -- which is strange considering my closet.

Ruby Slippers, Please

January 26th, 2010 @ 2:27 pm by Miss Sewing

Now before we jump right into the shoe-fest, let’s talk about the needs. You see, I’m about two inches taller than dear Mr. Sewing, so I am not allowed to wear heels when we’re together. Flats, it is!

And then, after loving the way the little red shoes looked on our save the date magnet, I decided I needed red shoes. Yes, needed.

About Miss Nachos

So, I decided to tackle the flip-flop bedazzling, and let me tell you, what I thought would be my easiest DIY project to date ended up being the most time-consuming and annoying! I encountered a lot of trial and error along the way, but ultimately figured it out. So here was my bedazzling journey…

I bought some supplies at Jo-Ann Fabrics: 6 bags of flat-bottomed rhinestones…

I’ve been on the hunt for fantastic wedding shoes since we got engaged, and early on I decided that I wanted some balla’ shoes to wear on the wedding day. For wedding shoes, Loub has topped my list because of the fabulous red sole, and, well, the fabulous shoes attached to them!

A few months ago, I spotted the Loub “love flats”. I thought that they…

I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married.

I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
