Shoe Envy

(Christian Louboutin shoe sold at Saks Fifth Avenue)

If only I had an extra grand laying around and maybe (based on the shoe reviewer)---a high tolerance for pain---I would have this shoe!!!! I LOVE this shoe.  It' the epidemy of what I'm searching for to wear with the Easter dress that I'm sewing. It's pictured here on the right of course.


A simple mock wrap/shirt dress to be made of raspberry rayon lycra knit. A simple understated dress and flashy shoe---see how great it would go together!!!

Sigh.....Ok...I'm coming off of my "shoe high" and reality is setting in. Truth be told I don't think I'd EVER spend that much money on one pair of shoes, even if I had it. Maybe it will end up on ebay for cheaper! Much cheaper---more like dirt cheap! LOL! Price aside, I'm 5'9" and with a 5 inch heel this shoe would make me as tall as my husband. But I am looking for a cute floral print shoe to wear with my dress. Has anyone seen any? I plan to check online stores. Have any of your favorites to suggest? I appreciate any help or suggestions:)

    Those shoes are fantastic! I love 6pm.com for shoes. Though not exactly the the CL ones, Nine West recently released some floral print heels. :]

    Floral print shoes would be perfect! You could try looking through Zappos. They have a lot of shoes.

    I second 6pm.com for shoes, as well as Amazon and Zappos. Love the colors--should be beautiful on you! Will Husband have coordinating accessories?

    I bought some floral print heels from Macy's online and they have been handy for date nights.

    They aren't heels but Aerosoles has some cute watercolor flats including the pink/rose tones. Leslie

    If this is a repeat message I'm sorry. I've tried posting twice but it doesn't show up. First I think the raspberry dress was not only a great color choice but it really looks nice on you. I absolutely love the shoes. Did they come from 6pm.com because I can't find them. Pls let me know. Thanks.

    Don't know why women will endure so much pain - or pay such high prices. I'm sure the quality is high, but really! I just know you'll find some that look great with that gorgeous fabric.
    Must tell you that I just found yiur blog yesterday and you are really inspiring -- thank you!
