My Wedding Shoes!!!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter may remember my tweets of frustration a month or so ago as I tried, unsuccessfully, to locate this pair of Badgley Mischka pink pumps in my size for my wedding day.

Badgley Mischka Xango Pink Pumps

According to the woman Badgley Mischka referred me to when I emailed the company about the shoes, the pumps I wanted first became available in April and the pink ones sold like crazy.

Great for Badgley Mischka. Bad for me.

I searched all over the internet and in local stores that carry Badgley Mischka shoes without avail. The woman I spoke with encouraged me to call my local Nordstrom and ask for their assistance in locating the shoe.

The gentlemen I spoke with from Nordstrom told me the shoes sold really quickly, but that he would call around other stores and let me know if anything turned up.

Well, it did!

Woohoo!!! My wedding day shoes should arrive in 5 – 8 business days.

(For those of you who are wondering what happened to the shoes I originally wanted… Well, I decided against them because they were more than 5 inches high. Though this would work fine with Ryan’s height (he’s 6’2”) I am already taller than all my bridesmaids and didn’t want to look like Sasquatch on my wedding day. Sooo, I opted for a more modest heeled shoe. Still pink, though. 😉 )

Lunch

I wish my lunch was as exciting as my wedding shoes, but as a serious shoe lover, that’s basically impossible.

Well, unless lunch was an ice cream sundae from Houston’s.

My lunch was still delicious though, and that’s what really matters.

Using leftover taco-seasoned ground chicken from last night’s dinner, I made myself a taco salad that included:

• Spring mix greens
• Broccoli slaw
• Frozen sweet corn (It thawed by lunchtime)
• Grape tomatoes
• Taco-seasoned ground chicken
• Crumbled hard shell taco
• Salsa

Taco Salad

Salsa

Using salsa as salad dressing is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the slightly spicy tomato-based sauce. It adds so much flavor!

Okay, kids. Fun’s over!

Back to work I go! 😀

SHOES!

It took me months and multiple appointments at a handful of bridal boutiques to find the dress, but approximately 1.5 seconds to find the perfect wedding shoes.

Badgley Mischka Beauties

I saw these gorgeous Badgley Mischka shoes in a bridal magazine this past weekend and fell in love.

The soft pink color and gorgeous floral detail calls to me!

My biggest concern: the height. I am used to wearing very high heels, but these are five-inch babies. Plus, the teeny heel might throw off my balance and I don’t want to be the victim of a wedding day wipe out.

Since I’ve only seen these shoes online and in a magazine, I must find them somewhere to try them on and see if I can stand the sky-high height and itty-bitty heel…

If you’re married, what did your wedding day shoes look like? If you’re not married, what do your dream wedding day shoes look like?

I love shoes and don’t see myself wearing traditional wedding day white shoes. I want something with a little more pizazz!

Foodie Photos

Since wedding talk has all but taken over the blog today, let me get back to basics with some foodie photos!

Breakfast:

For breakfast, I toasted an Eggo NutriGrain waffle and dipped it in a mixture of cottage cheese, pumpkin, sweetener and pumpkin pie spice.

Snack:

'Dilla

This is my go-to snack. I think I eat a microwavable quesadilla at least five times a week.

What’s your go-to snack?

Today’s dilla featured a Joseph’s whole wheat tortilla topped with a Colby jack string cheese stick. Before folding the tortilla over, I microwaved it with the cheese on top until the cheese melted and I could spread it out evenly. Mo’ cheese fo’ me!
