Something blue, on your shoe!

Stuart Weitzman 'Peepers' Pump, Nordstrom

Alright, the price may be a bit steep (at $575), but how hot are these shoes for your "something blue"?

About Me

A. Marigold
aka Miss Spaniel
Los Angeles, CA

I'm a law student trying to balance graduating with starting my career, keeping up a relationship, and, oh yeah, planning an Old World, multi-cultural, moutain lodge wedding for 180 guests! A South Asian Jewish girl getting ready to marry my handsome Catholic Dane, I'm hoping to blend our cultures in our wedding just a bit more gently than by providing samosas as appetizers and offering æbleskiver for dessert. Although that would also be awesome.
