Which Jimmy to Choose... part two

The hunt for the perfect kitten heel continues. I admit I haven't done the sensible thing of heading off to Selfridges, or Bluewater, or Lakeside, or Harrods etc to have a proper hunt for shoes and I will tell you why... I hate shopping. I find shopping stressful, and whenever my dear friend Lynsey suggests a day in London shopping I come over in a cold sweat. I do practically everything online, if it doesn't fit, I send it back. Simples!

Also I know if I make a point of going out to find the perfect shoe, I won't find the perfect shoe. I'll get the hump and head for a glass of wine and come home feeling woozy and exhausted! Or I will find three pairs of perfect shoes and spend the whole day dithering, unable to make a decision, and head for a glass of wine and come home feeling woozy and.. yeah you get it.

It's torment trying on all these gorgeous high heels - because I just wouldn't ever wear them. Ok I admit I wear heels when I am doing the housework sometimes... is that odd? I'm not sure if I should have admitted to that actually - but there is something most uplifting to wearing your gorgeous platforms and blasting out Queen very loudly whilst doing the dusting and vacuming. I sound like a gay man don't I...?!

So I went to NYC with Mr O, and fell in love with these..

The lowest heel I could find by Mr Christian Louboutin.... but a hefty price tag. And the gold would really look good with my dress.

For the amount of money they cost, I could get a return flight to Australia to visit my best friend. 

So although I envy a bride who can wear a pair of CL's on her big day, I think I will pass and follow the advice of some lovely comments on my previous shoe blog, a few of you suggested I try Bespoke Bigday and after looking through for all of..hmmmm five minutes? I found the perfect pair!

I got in touch with Rachel, ordered some colour samples, and had a chat about my requirements. It's so hard for some of us to find the perfect shoe, they're all either too high, or flat and really not nice, not nice at all! She started up her own company through her own experience of the hunt for gorgeous bridal shoes. Amen to that!

They're the perfect height, peep toe (of course), and I am having them in a colour, a bright colour at that. The price tag does reflect the fact you're having bespoke shoes made, but I must admit after looking at other bespoke shoe websites I found they were best deal, and the service is really personal and friendly. They take about 8 weeks to be made and shipped... I am so excited to see them it's going to take all the strenth I have not to wear them whilst hoovering!
