Dancing shoes

I have shown you before that I have gorgeous 3" Blue Satin Gucci's. They walk like a charm, but will I be able to walk in them from 8:45 AM 'till 01:30 AM. I think my feet will object at some point.

Do I need a back up shoe? I have been checking out shoe stores in the city (and online) for the last two months. No luck there. They just don't have cute, low heeled shoes.

The back-up shoe isn't my only dilemma. Will I be able to dance the night away in my 3" heels? Will I be able to dance in them after I have walked in them the entire day? I am not so sure. After the dancing lesson for our first dance I realised something new. I need to practice my dancing skills in heels. Sure I danced on 4" heels, but that did not include the fast feet movement and the spinning I will be doing for our first dance.

I tried dancing in my own gorgeous heels while dancing our steps. *Gasp* It did not work out like I wanted. I really doubt I can pull it of. I could fall down. I could break my leg. What I need are dancing shoes. Cute dancing shoes! But I have no idea what I really need.

Is heelhight more important than heelwidth? Is the "raw" suede sole a must?
Are there brands I should look for first?

My shoes!

I have searched the world wide web for the perfect D'Orsays , I found a website that allowes you to design your own pump, but that didn't give me MY shoes. But I did find them.

I found them when I almost gave up looking for them. On a lazy saturday afternoon I was window shopping. Being the ever so decisive girl I snapped a couple of pictures and emailed them to my mom. Lucky for me she was home and just as enthausiastic about the shoes as I was.

These are the pictures I emailed her. Don't mind my jeans, I look silly pulling them up like that, but I was in a hurry to get my moms opinion.







I really LOVE my shoes!!
These Gucci beauties are dark blue satin. And even better: I caught them with a hughe discount.

My only concern is that we are planning on walking between all of our locations. Some streets in 's-Hertogenbosch we'll be walking are filled with "kinderkopjes" stones. Not really the best surface to be sporting stiletto heels.

Will I need a back-up shoe, for when my feet will get tired? Should I look for a "walking shoe" that will help me get past the hurdles of the street? I am not sure yet.

What kind of soe will you be wairing for your wedding? And did you have second thoughts after finding your shoes?

Design your own weddingshoe

I am having a hard time finding the perfect wedding shoe. I love wearing high heals, but how will dancing be after walking around on my high heels? And when I find a pair that just might work, the colour is just not right.

If only you could design your own shoes.
Wait a minute... you can! Nina shoes offers a feature on their website where you can design your own (wedding) shoe. In three simple steps you will be able to customize your own shoes.

First you have to pick the style of the shoe, there are five different type styles you can pick from:



For each type of shoe there is a choice in heel height:



And finally there is the option of 16 (!) different colours and additions to the shoe.



If this isn't shoe heaven, I don't know what is.

Too bad they only ship within the United States. *sad face*
I would love to completely design my own shoes. If anybody knows a company that offers something similar that also ships to Europe, please let me know!

I'll have that d'orsay?

Long before I found my wedding dress I knew what kind of shoe I wanted to wear. I love shoes and I am crazy about designer shoes. Besides, if I would buy ‘traditional wedding shoes’ wouldn’t that be a complete waste of money? I could splurge and get wicked designer shoes that I would be able to wear after my wedding day.




I have fallen hard for the Manolo Blahnik’s d’orsay pump. She is available in many colours, and it has some bling on the toe. What more could a girl wish for?

They are not easy to find, I’m not even sure a store in the Netherlands will sell these babies. But I won’t be shopping online for them if I’m not convinced it is a respectable store. There are just so many copy cats out there, and I’m not willing to spend even $20 on a fake pair.

I found these beauties on Neiman Marcus:









Sadly the colours that available now just aren’t as bright as I would want them to be. They would be a great addition to my collection, just not for the wedding. And if I’m going to spend $715 on my wedding shoes I am going to have to love-love-love them. Like these purple beauties.



For now, I will just keep dreaming about them.

Do you have a dream shoe for your wedding?
