Life. Love. Lipstick.

While looking images for a post about my wedding that I wrote for my other blog, I came across these super cute shoes!  Designed by Lela Rose especially for Payless, the Unforgettable Moments collection is really cute and super-affordable!   There is a wide range of choices for color if you want to dye them, too!  My favorite ones are the Nathalie, only $45 (Edit: sold in an undyeable variation on payless.com for $24.99).

Which pair is your favorite?

I have always loved for wedding details to subtly complement each other… like when a bridesmaid’s dress has the same neckline as the bride’s gown, or when the cake has the same color ribbon as the invitations. I don’t mean shoes dyed to match the exact same ivory as a gown, with shoe clips made to perfectly match the brooch on the gown’s sash. It’s more about bringing a cohesiveness to an event, rather than matching everything perfectly.

In my feeds this morning, I found this wedding shot by Jasmine Star, and immediately noticed that the bride’s shoes are perfect for the dress. The pleating matches on both. I sized down the dress images too small, I think. You probably can’t see the pleating. Go to J*’s blog and view the gown up close. It’s a beautiful wedding that you should see anyway!

These black Christian Louboutins with the massive bows are TO-DIE-FOR. I would LOVE to see these underneath a wedding gown! It takes a certain kind of person to pull these off, but wow!

Thanks to What Junebug Loves! for bringing these shoes to my computer screen in a post all about shoes.

Awhile back, I posted about colored bridal shoes, and how much I love them. I especially have a fondness for red, and it seems I’m not the only one. I have been collecting colored shoe pics for quite awhile, and almost all are red!

However, there were a couple of standouts.

No matter what color, it really adds a punch of sass and personality to wear a colored wedding shoe under all that white. Of course, you could always go with a colored dress…

But that’s another post altogether.
