I'm really not unique from other women in my obsession for shoes. In fact, I would even go so far to say that I don't have nearly as many pairs of shoes as some of my friends out there...you know who you are (Kris). But, I do have a few pairs and I must say that I typically head to Nordstrom, the mecca for shoes, which many of you know actually started as a shoe store, and is now a grand department store. Let's just say that I go to Nordstrom for my Tiffany's fix.
Lately I have not been happy with the Nordstrom selection...nothing has inspired me during my weekly drive by, nothing. I thought for sure that I would find my dream wedding shoe there, after all, that is where I have found so many shoes that mean a lot to me. Doesn't it seem only fitting then that I would find my dream wedding shoe at a store that holds so much sentamental value? I even searched through the salon shoes thinking hey, it's my wedding...why not splurge a bit. Nothing.
And Nordstrom is not the only place that is disappointing me - Zappo's, JCrew, Banana, Piperlime...all great stores where you think a preppy-chic bride would find a fun, magenta, satin, unique, irresistible shoe and nada! Listen, I want to find something that is colorful - it could be magenta, green, yellow, navy stripes or a fun pattern. If any of you ladies see something curious and smart, please...send it my way! For now, this was the only thing that kind of intrigued me. I think you'll agree, we can do better than this little Stuart Weitzman number.

I got my wedding shoes at DSW, and was very happy with them. Although I was looking for something different from what you need, I also was not looking for a gross, white satin shoe. And if you luck out there, you can buy your wedding shoes for $15. -Kate_
