Even after his untimely passing Alexander McQueen’s outrageous and innovative style will live on. This understated bandage shoe is all about being in control with a chic edginess. The peachy-orange zipper down the middle gives this nude heel a burst of color with a fun twist. Even as you walk, onlookers from behind will get a glance of the same bright color underneath the sole. However, keeping true to designer duds this heel doesn’t come cheap. I have a rule: When a shoe’s name consists of numbers and letters that don’t form a word, it’s out of my price range. Still holds true, but doesn’t make me want them any less.

With my recent obsession over Native American inspired prints and tribals, it almost hurts that I can’t have this platform. Even despite the fact there will always be a looming fear that I won’t be able to walk properly in these 4.5” heels. Something about the matte red and black diamond shapes with a surprise cut-out draws me in. Not only does Gwen create a show-stopping silhouette and print, she adds the woven platform! Ah, genius in my book.

My sister is getting married and it has now given me another excuse to hunt for shoes (like I needed one). Searching for the perfect bridesmaid dresses is already a headache, but then you have to think about jewelry and shoes too! Thankfully I love doing both. However, shoes is obviously the most enjoyable. The RSVP ‘Maison’ Peep toe is super flattering and just just enough design to set it apart without overwhelming anything. I like how it’s not the typical strappy special occasion shoe that you will most likely never wear again. The platform adds a chic edge and makes your legs look amazing (always important). So you’re welcome future bridesmaids. I just found you the perfect shoe.

On the flip side from the Kate Spade Mattie I introduced to you before, the Nina Electra is a perfect bride’s shoe for those of you looking for height (cough..like myself). Plus, as Nina’s are known for..you’ll get comfort AND height with the Electra. This pump for the bride is demure with the soft bow detail and overlapping pleats that offset the thin ankle strap. The Electra will go perfectly with a long or short wedding gown. Oh and BTW, did you see the metallic gold underlining of the shoe, I love that detail – makes it slightly more exciting.

The pleats and disconnected cross front of Dyeables Erica Pump are both interesting and flattering. Also, I’m liking the Erica because a) if you don’t want to actually dye these shoes, you don’t need to since they are already white and nicely finished and..b) after the wedding you can dye them to any color you’d want that will match more of your wardrobe. I actually want to get these just so I can dye them a deep orange to play up some outfits I have in my closet right now. It’s a win-win Brides, perfect shoe for your wedding..and after!

Every girl has to have a “Plan B”. In Jessica Simpson’s case, her Plan B worked to her advantage. I will say, I am not a huge fan of these loafer pumps, however I commend the effort and appreciate the design. The patent leather is a great way to make it modern and hidden platforms could not be more popular. With the right outfit they can look really hot, sort of hits that sexy secretary niche in a huge way. So, hey Jess, I know your country music career went sour, but there is a future for you in fashion (apparently), which means there is always a reality show on the horizon.

These are ridiculously cute. As soon as I laid eyes on Stuart Weitzman’s Marimbow Peep Toe Pump, I immediately knew it had to be my first bridal shoe post. It’d be impossible for you, the Bride, not to feel wonderfully completed from head to toe (or rather, heel) in this elegant, yet playful pump. The gathered poof just before the peep-toe is a perfectly proportioned embellishment to this satiny heel. Envision the Marimbow with a simply constructed long gown or more playful gown with a full skirt. And after the wedding, the Marimbow can still be matched with a bold colored and patterned dress.
