I have shoes!!!

I bought my wedding shoes today!!! It's snowing in North Alabama and what better to do when you're stuck in the house than to shop for shoes online.

I've had my eye on these since...um, basically since the day after we were engaged. I knew I wanted to wear red shoes with my wedding dress (although my friend Gwen in Kentucky has a saying about what "mama always says" about who wears red shoes to church, hahaha) because my engagement ring, which once belonged to Blake's grandmother, is made of both diamonds and rubies, and I thought it would be neat to have ruby shoes to match my ruby ring. And okay, I admit, it might also be because I wanted to channel a little bit of Judy Garland, a la Wizard of Oz, as I walked down the aisle.

I searched high and low from the east coast to the west for the perfect red shoes. I scoured Las Vegas and Miami and New York, but in the end, it was these beauties that I fell in love with in the beginning that will adorn my pretty little feet.

I purchased them from Nina (http://www.ninashoes.com/) but I designed them myself through a cool little feature they have on their site where you can design your own shoes...which goes well with my theme of designing all the dresses. This particular Nina style is called the Elke and it has a 4.25 inch heel. The color is red rouge luster satin...ooh la la! And...just in case any of you are interested in designing your own shoes on the Nina website, if you sign up for their emails, you get 20% off your order AND free shipping (SCORE for the recessionista fashionista inside us all!).

More pix to follow as soon as I get them in the mail...yay!!!
