Three pairs of wedding shoes!

{Source}

So I've been going back and forth about these Badgley Mischka shoes. I LOVE them but I hate how popular they are. I told myself that if I saw these shoes at more than 10 weddings, that I wouldn't get them. Believe me, I hit the 10 weddings pretty quickly!

Then I got a "30% discount off anything" email from Piperlime and I knew I just had to do it. So, I finally got the shoes! Plus they were only $100 with shipping! (Original Price $215)

But then I saw these:

They are kind of cute, right?? In a kind of, "I wouldn't buy them full price but since they are $24.50 AND 30% OFF, I want them" sort of way. Here's what I was thinking. I may still decide to go with flats instead of heels. After all, we ARE getting married on the beach. (Unless it rains, in that case we would do it on the covered terrace at the house...It's important to have a plan B!)

THEN I saw these on Rue La La, which were on Ideeli a while ago but they didn't have my size... SO I GOT THESE TOO! I really like the pale pink, but I don't think I love the silver heel. I also love the leopard print soles, its a little surprise that perfectly reflects my personality!

I don't know how I ended up with three pairs of wedding shoes but they are all returnable so hopefully I'll be able to make a decision once they get here...? I just have to figure out how to sneak these shoes past

Which ones do you like? I think I could probably talk Mr. Pancakes into letting me keep two pairs ... one for the ceremony, one for the reception? Is anyone else this indecisive??

Shoe Festish: Best Bets for Buying on a Budget

So the best thing about shopping online is that you can try the shoes on in the comfort of your home, and if you already have your wedding dress, it means you can try it on with your dress!

I am a huge fan of shopping online because I love getting packages in the mail. I know its a little ridiculous but I was always one of those kids who loved having a pen pal. I just love mail!

I heart shoes. I am going to have a really difficult time finding the perfect wedding shoes, but these are my favorite websites:


Romantic Soles - Arleigh $47.97; Betsy Johnson - Ardin $98.00; Nina - Effie $62.97; Bouquets - Colette $23.81

6pm offers the most affordable selection, with the widest range of prices, however shipping per order is a flat $6.95 and you only have 30 days to make a decision.



Martinez Valero - $87.97; Liz Rene Couture - Saskia $94.95 Luichiny - $68.95; Badgley Mischka - $200

Best thing about Endless is that they focus on just shoes so they have a great selection. Plus, they offer free overnight shipping on all new styles. So if you love something and you can't wait to try it on, Endless is the place to go! They also offer free 2-day shipping and free standard shipping on most of their shoes, free return shipping, and 100% price guarantee... it really is one of my favorite places to shop. My problem is that I order 5 pairs "just to try on" and convince myself that I need them all. So as long as you have self-control its a great place to go crazy!

Kate Spade Guilia -$325; Pour La Victoire Stella - $151; Badgley Mischka Eavan - $152; Me Too - Jeannette $72.00

Best things about Zappos is that they have 365 day return policy, which means you have ONE YEAR to return your purchases... PLUS its free shipping BOTH WAYS!

Badgley Mischka - Fidel $229; Vivienne Westwood - Anglomania + Lady Dragon $99; Kate Spade - Charm Heel $325; Juicy Couture - Flora $72; Marc Jacobs MJ14034 - $339

I love Zappos Couture for their great selection but most of their shoes are a little beyond my price range.... I still enjoy looking at all the pretty, shiny things. Plus how adorable are the Vivienne Westwoods! They are a definite a real contender.

Where'd you get your wedding shoes? What sites am I missing?
