It's All About the Choos!

Jimmy Choo that is.  Jimmy Choo is one of the world’s leading women’s wear shoe designers with classic, modern, trendy, and over the top soles and sacks (purses). I’ve kept these shoes to myself for too long and must share!

PERSONAL FAVORITE: Private

It’s not sequence or glued glitter; instead it’s a glitter fabric that covers this platform sandal.  The fantastic part about this shoe is that it can absolutely be worn again for any type of occasion.  The sandal silhouette with middle cut out and open toe is perfect for any night out on the town. 

The price is steep, I’m not going to lie. But if you decide to splurge on something, and you want it to be your shoes than it has to be this one.  Especially for the fact that many brides, like their gowns, only wear their bridal shoes just once. If you’re a fashionista that splurges on accessories, budget for one pair of shoes instead of buying 3! 

I can’t help but imagine a ball gown or full a-line skirt hiding these underneath the layers of fabric. 

Personal Favorite II: Amsale Calista and Meghan

Private in the bridal collection on the Jimmy Choo website is only available in glitter gold, but comes in full and half sizes.  I haven’t seen these shoes in person, but the gold looks light enough that it could match silver/platinum accessories if you’re a stickler for matching.  Or if you simply love them that much than who cares, especially since they’ll be a hidden surprise on your feet.  You’ll stand a full 120mm taller- 4.7 inches!  Might I suggest having an extra pair of shoes or sport some flip flops at the reception.  Your feet will get tired. A little glitter or height never hurt anyone and it’s just such a fun shoe!

A really fantastic trend I'm noticing are colored shoes. It's not just about gold, silver, or ivory anymore. Brides are matching their shoes to their choice colors or incorporating them into their "Something blue". Remember the 'Newport Nuptials' blog not too long ago?  Jen Board had the perfect pair of satin blue Badgley Mischka pumps.  Our blog from yesterday (below) also featured yellow bridal shoes.
