What better way to start the new year than with girl chat.  As most women, I have an obsession with shoes (Ok boots and purses too!).  I must admit I am a bit jealous when I compare my black leather orthopedic shoes I design in, to these lovelies.  All the more reason to work my heels like a rock star when I get a chance to wear them!  Shoe talk is always exciting with our new brides.

Coloured Shoes

I am not sure about the rest of you but I am loving the trend of coloured wedding shoes.  These snazzy pumps make a trendy, fashionable and unexpected statement.  Imagine sharing the glory of a fabulous wedding dress with the shoes! I smile every time our brides with the outgoing, fashion forward personalities rock these pumps!  How much fun to project your personality into your shoes.  I keep telling my beloved hubby that coloured pumps will be on the agenda when we renew our vows.  Oooh I can envision hot pink or plum purple patent leather peep toes!

Designer Shoes

These divine shoes are the crème de la crème of women’s footwear.  Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, ManoloBlahnik, Valentino, Badgley Mischka, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, and the list goes on.  These designer evening shoes are the most glamorous, the most luxurious, and some of the most expensive!  An investment that can be worn for years to come, always make a lasting statement.
