Twilight Wedding Shoe: Blahnik’s Swan

I have seen about 20 minutes of one Twilight movie.  The one where she can’t decide between the vampire and the werewolf.

Just between you and me,  the werewolves seemed to be lots more fun than that morose vampire.  They got to run around the forest, jump off cliffs into a lake, ran around without their shirts, and were better looking.

So in the last Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn, the girl marries the morose vampire.  Anyways, I have seen several articles about the wedding outfit.  I gotta tell ya, the shoes are gorgeous.

Swan by Manolo Blahnik $1295 at Neiman Marcus

These are available in white, black and cranberry.

Blahnik hit a home run with the blue satin shoes Carrie Bradshaw  wore in SATC. I expect these to be just as popular.

Yves Saint Laurent’s Palais

This shoe has been around for quite a while.  There are several colors and versions;  peep toe,  sling back, booties, suede, 80 mm  and 105 mm high, and a zillion colors.  I had one version of this shoe in my Saks Shopping Cart, waited too long and now it is gone.

After Kate Winslet wore the black suede version with a Stella McCartney dress, I wanted you to see them again.  I love the curve in the platform, the heel has a pretty, pretty curve and is a little thicker than a lot of designer shoes. I tend towards a thicker heel for stability, because, quite frankly,  falling down is a little embarrassing.

This silver shoe is new for this season available for $750 at Nordstrom’s.   Wonderful shoe for Holiday time.  Can’t you just see yourself wearing something this pretty?

Moschino Cheap and Chic Laser Cut Ribbon Pumps

Moschino is one of those shoe-brands that leads me from shoe-crush to shoe-crush.  It happened again today with these red-hot,  laser-cut pumps.

With their elegant filigree design, these had me at ‘laser-cut’.

I’m not usually one to start even thinking about Christmas until we’ve at least finished cooking the turkey for Thanksgiving, but the shiny red-patent and swirling-filigree design combo has these shooting straight to the top of my Christmas list.

They wouldn’t even have to be wrapped up; they come with their own festive bows.

Get a Ruthie Davis Vibe with Sam Edelman’s ‘Scarlett’

The ‘Scarlett’  spiked sandals being offered by Sam Edelman immediately remind me of Ruthie Davis’ Spikette styles (and in a looser fashion, some of Louboutin’s & Rodarte’s past offerings). Let’s take a peek.
