Some shoe thoughts

Well I'm not much of a shoe girl. I own a few, mostly falling apart, the ones that arent are mostly for work. Not really knowing what dress I will have makes purchasing a shoe next to impossible. BUT I can start practicing shoe shopping now, so when the time comes, I'll be ready and armed with some basic ideas of what I WANT.
Most of my choices are simple, no suprise there, and this first one is a perfect example of what I want. Colorifics/Sophia is not too tall, and has a strap over the front of the foot. I feel like this shoe could work with alot of dresses but most importantly with allow me to show my pretty toes. The small buckles are a cute touch that catches my eye.

RSVP/Mardi. This shoe is a bit taller than I would like, but the shape, and the diagonal strap across the front of the foot really appeals to me. It might be too SKINNY for my eventual look, but for now it's a great inspiration.

Annie/Adelina. The Adelina has a detail i've never tried on a shoe, that strap which creeps up the front of your foot. I think if I found the right one, or discovered this type of shoe looked great on my foot, that I would get a shoe like this.



Touch Ups/Sharmaine. This is pretty dressy and not necessarily the kind of look I want. But I like how half of the toe of the shoe is absent with only straps in place.

RSVP/Anyssa is one of my favorites! I just love the style of this shoe and even without the front strap. I'm not sure this shoe can handle destination wedding, but I guess I've got plenty of time to think on it.

Madeira Floral Organza Dresses by Anna Sui



















This dress is so simple, but those bursts of color really make it special. It's just the shape I love in a dress and I just cant seem to find one thing I DONT like when I look at it. Three cheers for this little number.

White Beaded Bubble Dresses


I really like the texture of this dress. Its very unique, never seen one like it. I've never tried on a bubble dress, but the neckline of this dress is enough to convince me.

White Sheer Slip Dress by Interlude


I found this dress online and really think its pretty and simple but still has a bridal feel to it. It doesnt feel like strapless dress because the shoulders are covered, although essentially, it is strapless. I like the detail at the waist too.
So to whoever is reading this, WELCOME!Bryan popped the question and we are going to get married.Pretty exciting stuff, I know.So, this blog will help you all keep on the same page that I am. I know ladies like to hear about wedding things, and this will quench that thirst for some of you. I'll be posting pictures of possible locations for the wedding (we are almost 100% decided on a destination wedding), dress inspirations, and every now and then songs probably. We ARE going to have a destination wedding (i think), but we also want to have a reception/party when we return in order to gather with all our friends and family. Well have like a 3 hour play list and after that, it's back to real life.So, once again, welcome to everyone. Family, friends...that's all really. I cant imagine strangers reading my pre-wedding/planning blog.
