Luichiny ‘Gal Lop’ Dress Sandal

Luichiny-Gal Lop-Sandal

I go weak in the knees for these satin beauties. The organic pleating along the straps and pretty bow in the back have me wanting these just because. They have a subtle zipper in the back, but they are barely noticeable because your eye is automatically drawn to the double petal bow.

Because these heels come in 8 vibrant colors, they are perfect for bridesmaid shoes! Just make sure they don’t steal the show away from the bride.

RSVP ‘Maison’ Peep Toe

RSVP-Maison-Peep Toe

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.

Mother of the Bride Shoes I: Lauren by Ralph Lauren Tyra

Mothers, if you’re looking for something more traditional and simple, the Ralph Lauren Tyra is just the shoe for you. The straps and design are simple and classy. Not too much heel, but just enough to give you some height to make anyone’s legs look long and lean. The soft gold tone of the Tyra will match just about any outfit whether it be a dress, pantsuit or skirt/top combo. I will suggest however, you try not to go “matchy-matchy” with this and pair it with a gold toned dress or match it with black.

Bridal Shoes IV: Nina Electra

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. ;)

Bridal Shoes III: Kate Spade Mattie

For those of you are perhaps a bit tall…or have a groom who’s a tad vertically challenged, the Kate Spade Mattie is a perfect fit. You still get to wear heels without towering over the groom without having to resort to a flat. With the Mattie you’ll feel lovely and demure with the straps and knotted bow.

Bridal Shoes II: Dyeables Erica Pump

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!

Kate Spade ‘Lovely’ Sandal

I first laid eyes on this wonderfully adorable sandal in a catalog for Nordstrom.  I’m pretty sure it was love at first sight.  I love how a simple t-strap sandal can be taken to a whole new level by adding a large tailored bow.  It doesn’t offset the shoe at all, only enhances its design.  The satin fabric immediately adds to the elegance of this shoe while also being a little bit playful.  To show off this shoe to its full potential wear it with a simple slightly curve hugging knee length dress.
