I love to buy them, so much more comforting than buying clothes. Even with all my experience in the footwear department, I am having a hard time deciding what would be best to wear with my gown. I found this pair of shoes online last fall and knew they would be perfect, but wasn't any where near thinking about buying things for a wedding. Needless to say, they are gone. I have seen countless brides trying to find them for their own weddings... no luck for anyone. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.shoewawa.com/jojusninewest.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.shoewawa.com/jojusninewest.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Source: shoewawa.com<br /><br />So I have had to expand my search. I'm looking for preferably satin heels in an apple green or deep purple. Here's what I've got so far:<br /><br />"Grape" satin peep toes by Nina, I love them!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.zappos.com/images/755/7550564/6901-933715-d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.zappos.com/images/755/7550564/6901-933715-d.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Source: zappos.com<br /><br />But there are also these. They're the same grape color, slightly different style. I really like these.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.zappos.com/images/752/7523111/6901-950875-d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.zappos.com/images/752/7523111/6901-950875-d.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Source: Zappos.com<br /><br />And these: They're not satin, but they are way cute!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.zappos.com/images/731/7317971/9994-590880-d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.zappos.com/images/731/7317971/9994-590880-d.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Source: zappos.com<br /><br />Finally, these satin peeptoes from Nordstrom, these have a little bit more embellishment to them which makes them super fun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://content.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/product/MediumLarge/12/_5815692.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 226px;" src="http://content.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/product/MediumLarge/12/_5815692.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> source: nordstrom.com<br /><br />So this is where I need your help. What's your opinion? Which one strikes your fancy?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690518109384451647-756577977556374961?l=becomingafranklin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elizabethnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690518109384451647.post-8554507774798796942009-04-20T00:05:00.006-05:002009-04-20T00:38:44.853-05:00We, and by we I mean my mom and I, are working on some ideas we have for centerpieces. We hit up a fabulous sale (50% off) at the HobLob store and bought all kinds of goodies to create some masterpieces, hopefully. This is what we have got so far:<br /><br />We got the lovely florals at HobLob:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewGjaMve8I/AAAAAAAACC0/Xrbl27mLdog/s1600-h/Random+341.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewGjaMve8I/AAAAAAAACC0/Xrbl27mLdog/s320/Random+341.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326639664670407618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewGjHcsqVI/AAAAAAAACCs/qhwMfBwuqjI/s1600-h/Random+342.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewGjHcsqVI/AAAAAAAACCs/qhwMfBwuqjI/s320/Random+342.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326639659637057874" /></a><br /><br />Then, because the hobby store is overpriced when it come to vases, we went perusing Ross and found these great purple vases for nearly 1/3 of the price:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewIinqDYiI/AAAAAAAACC8/W1_FrKJShI8/s1600-h/Random+343.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewIinqDYiI/AAAAAAAACC8/W1_FrKJShI8/s320/Random+343.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326641850126393890" /></a><br /><br />So, here is the finished product... kinda:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewFGnzs26I/AAAAAAAACCk/kZhe2RuOYoI/s1600-h/Random+340.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N-bVwt2nENk/SewFGnzs26I/AAAAAAAACCk/kZhe2RuOYoI/s320/Random+340.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326638070595640226" /></a><br /><br />What do you all think? I need some opinions. Is it too much purple?

I am completely obsessed with wedding blogs and magazines that it is ridiculous. So... for the next 6 months (that's right there are only 6 months til the wedding) I'll be sporadically posting ideas I am considering, complete with pictures, of course, for your opinion. I NEED HELP! So comment and give me some advice.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690518109384451647-8879061752077285565?l=becomingafranklin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elizabethnoreply@blogger.com0
