Monica & Tuan

Throughout high school and university, while my girlfriends would oh and ah over shoes and stock their closets full of sandals, wedges, pumps, stilettos, and boots, I would wonder what all the fuss was about. I mean how many pairs did a person really need? One pair for everyday wear, a pair of runners, a set of winter boots, a nice pair for special occasions, and sandals for the summer. I didn't really see what all the fuss was about.


But once I entered the working world, slowly but surely the shoe bug bit me. It started as a trickle. First it was the sparkly sandals (I'm a glitter girl at heart), and then the pointy toe pumps. Uggs and fur boots soon followed. As I blog this today, I estimate about 50 pairs of shoes in my closet! So what's a converted shoe girl to do for her wedding glass slippers?

Well in my research for the perfect wedding shoes, I came across designers such as Prada, Manolo, Louboutin, and Stuart Weizman. Names I only ever heard of while reading The Devil Wears Prada and watching Sex and the City. And here are a few I really loved:



From left to right: Monolo Blahnik Brooch D'Orsay Pumps (silver version made famous by Carrie from Sex & the City), Prada Beige Sequined Satin Bow Pumps, Christian Louboutin Mussilina peep toe pumps.

And while I loved the Pradas the best, they no longer sold them anywhere and so I had to continue my search.

Which is when I discovered Choos ... or rather Jimmy Choo's bridal collection. And it was love at first sight. There were so many to choose from and while I absolutely adored all his open toe pumps, the heel heights were much to high. So I ordered these sandals by calling their London store (the best customer service!) and in a few short days they arrived:
Simple yet its got some bling to it :) And while Jimmy named them Rye, I call these Choos my babies!
