I Put Some New Shoes On And Suddenly Everything Is Right

I am not a very good shopper. I do not enjoy shopping. I am an efficient shopper - I'm in, I'm out. No faffing. Shopping is not a hobby of mine.

I have been looking for wedding shoes for months. I had something very particular in mind. I wanted red shoes (but not hooker red) high heels (but not too high) with a strap. I wanted these but in red (though I would have taken these as my second choice.) I own them in black and they are the most comfortable heels I own. When I bought mine (about a year ago) they came in red also and I am kicking myself for not buying them. Anyway, I could not find red shoes that I liked anywhere. Yesterday Turtle and I spent 5 hours looking for shoes at the busiest (and largest) mall in BC. It was my own little version of Hell. However, eleventy million hours and (no exaggeration) at least 12 shoe stores later - we were victorious.


I gave up the idea of red shoes about halfway through the day. My only criteria was that they fit and not be boring. Two things I think I accomplished. I'm going to give them a test run this week and hopefully my feet don't end up too mangled.

I'm thinking the granite countertop was not the best background for the photos - sorry!

I was so happy that we were finally done shoe shopping that I splurged and bought myself these:

My excuse is that they're my "reception" shoes (in case the heels get too uncomfortable.) Love them. I have them on right now and they are so comfortable.

  2. Those shoes are fantastic! Great choice! I have those Steve Madden Luvvy shoes on my lust-list, but they sadly don't make them big enough for my enormous feet. So I have to settle for drooling over pictures of them instead. Good idea to get flats as well - your feet will love you for it!

  9. Melting.

    I know you are busy. I know you are getting married. But if you get the chance to let us know where on earth we can find both pairs of these shoes, I will kiss you. With tongue.

    I love them!! What is the brand/style name?
