Dazzle the night away in these sparkly, glittery shoes you can actually dance in
It’s been a hot minute (drab minute? matte minute?) since I set my sights on sparkly, glitter-crusted shoes, so let’s right that wrong! Today I want shoes that turn your feet into spinning disco balls — but shoes that are also low-heeled enough to dance in. I want shoes that wink under your dress while not quietly murdering your feet, so I’m going to focus on heel heights under about 2″.
Scalloped shoes for a wavy wonderful wedding day (including flats!)
This is perhaps a weirdly specific shoe post, even by my weirdly specific standards.
Today I want to talk about scalloping.
…Right? It’s a strangely tiny thing to focus on, but I’m noticing an increase in shoes with little rounded edges and detailing. Inspired by these shoes, I feel like this is a nice little break from all the chevron patterns that have been so prevalent the last couple years. Nice round little curves… let’s do this!
Coral wedding shoes: pumps, flats, and skulls! [UPDATED for 2023!]
Can we talk about coral? It’s not quite orange, but not quite pink. It’s definitely brighter than peach, and it complements teal perfectly if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s also the color that I’m single-mindedly fixating on today, with a whole post full of pumps, flats, and the most adorably dapper coral nubuck oxfords. Interestingly, several of these shoes also involve skulls in various ways… I love it when macabre details show up in unexpected places.
Wedding shoes with very low heels {UPDATED!}
You know how I wore those 4-inch pumps last weekend? Yeah, I still can’t totally feel two of my toes. Those shoes were so cute, but fuck you guys: TOO TALL! I heard from one Offbeat Bride who said that she wore heels on her wedding day and couldn’t feel a couple of her toes until she got back from the honeymoon. NooOoOooo, friends! Noooo! Save the toes!
In the spirit of non-numb toes, this week I’m going to focus on low-heeled shoes. A few flats, but mostly low heels with nothing over 2″ high. Enough to get a little lift, but not so much that you can’t feel your toes. Join me?
