Cinderella Moment: my wedding shoes!!

Let me Start this post off by saying that I am utterly exhausted! With the trips to and from Melbourne, early mornings at work, chiro appointments and now editing (yes it's been revealed to me) the Dat Girl website... I am just pooped!!! So much so that when I picked up a package at work on Monday, I didn't even rip it open..or get excited...

 Nope, it sat on my desk for a good 3 hours before I decided to take a peek...

Inside the package were the shoes that I will wear when I walk down the aisle to A!!

Remember I bought these shoes a while ago but they were too small and didn't have enough support?

Well I gave up the shoe hunt for a while, occasionally searching for pink wedding shoes, and then I came across these beauties by Badgley Mischka.

They looked like a perfect kind of pink, and soft and pretty, just like my dress.

Unfortunately, the Randee shoe is a few seasons old and wherever I looked no one had them in stock in the pink :(

I thought I wouldn't be able to get them, until I decided to do an eBay search and BAM there they were, size 9 (I'm usually an 8.5, but minor details), new in box with all plastic and cardboard bits attached. The seller didn't send items outside of the US, but I could handle that.

from the eBay listing

I thought about the purchase for a while, then the next day I went to place my bid, only to see the auction had ended. More sad faces!!! :( :( :(

Luckily, everyone else "forgot to bid" too and the item was re listed.. 7 days later I won the auction. Fate.

The shoes were sent to my US address and then to me.

They fit PERFECTLY, and are so soft and delicate, I think they are just beautiful!

The little bit of a platform will be a godsend on the big day and the bottom of the shoe is almost the same colour as the BM dresses here too.

I'd show you the picture of them on my feet, but I am waaaaay over due for a pedicure, so you will have to settle for the above bride's feet.

It felt like my very own Cinderella moment, when I slipped these babies on and I am glad I kept trying to find the perfect shoes! :)

WEDDING SHOES!!!

I have been looking at potential wedding shoes since we got engaged. NO JOKE. I love shoes and I love planning my wedding, so really this should come as no surprise lol.

Originally I wanted classic white peep toes with a bit of spunk like diamontes or a blue bowed shoe clip.

My next faze was blue shoes for my something blue, but nothing really hit me and I figured it might clash with the softness of the BM dresses.

Lately, I have searched many, changed my mind daily and the only constant thing I have looked for is shoes with a bit of colour, that a soft, pretty and of course WOW!

I had a particular pair of Rosamosario shoes saved to my favourties on Internet Explorer for a while now and yesterday as I was cleaning up my favourites, I clicked on them again to see they were now 40% OFF on net-a-porter.com.

SOLD.



These Rosamosario Monica Bellucci lace-covered satin mules will be my wedding shoes (hopefully).

(all photos from net-a-porter.com)

I say hopefully, because net-a-porter says they are a small size and they only had a 40 left, so fingers crossed they fit and the heel isn't TOO high.

I think the soft pink and black lace will go perfectly with our pink, black and white coloured theme, while giving me a little bit of POP colour underneath my dress.

I am in love with these buttons and I want similar ones (in white) on my dress.

What do you think? Do you like them?

 

Pole, Back and Shoes.

I haven't taken a pole dancing photo for a while now, but I am in my third term and we are doing some really coll looking tricks. The trick above is one we learnt last night.

Unfortunately, about ten minutes prior to taking this picture, I was doing another move when I felt something pull in my lower back. My back has been troubling me for the past 6 weeks and causing me immense pain. Some days I cannot reach down to put my stockings on, or to pick up things or I can't even roll over in bed. Last night was one of those nights. I woke in the middle of the night to roll over and I was awake for 30 minutes trying to turn, it was exhausting and I cired because it hurt so much. I cry regularly from the pain and frustration. I am 25 not 85!!! I should be able to use my body freely!

I have been to my GP about my back and I am scheduled to get some scans done. He wants to be sure it is not a joint or disk before we move on to any other treatment.

 I changed my work chair today hoping it will make a difference. I had only been using my previous one for a few months, so hopefully that was the cause and now I have found the solution. I just want it to end :(

Feeling sorry for myself, I figured the best remedy was greasy food. I haven't had Oportos in so long and on Monday 12WBT starts again so I have to get in all my badness this week LOL. I have decided that until the wedding next year 12WBT will be like my own personal nutritionist minus the excessive cost.

Speaking of all things greasy and bad for you... has anyone else been addicted to McDonalds' $2 Chicken and Cheese? Many of my friends are fellow addicts. They are just soo yummy, cheap and the perfect size. A regularly turns to me and says "Chicken and Cheese entree?" when we walk past McDonalds to the supermarket. I know there are certain pockets of cellulite on my bum which were created by Chicken and Cheese lol.

Yesterday I also received my massive box of shoes from Brands Exclusive. There were 5 pairs of shoes inside. It is safe to say everyone at work things I have an online shopping problem. The security guard laughs at me every time he hands me a package and then threatens to chop up my credit card.

My thigh high boots- can't wait to try them on!!

Got these in brown and black

Posted these babies on Instagram..

I think the heeels will be perfect for a New York themed 30th I have on Saturday.

I am thinking black lace dress, these shoes and a fur coat. Do you think that's on theme?

 Has anyone been to a New York themed party or have any suggestions?



Shooooessss

My mum sent me a link for a pair of boots this morning, because she knew I was dying for a pair of thigh high boots.

Brands Exclusive - Sheraton Shoes sale.

I came out with 3 pairs of boots and a pair of heels!

All for $150 - UNREAL!!!

More Randomness

This past weekend was pretty quiet for me, so I thought this Monday called for another random post.

another bruise from Pole Dancing, but now I can go upside down with no hands, so it is all worth it!! :)

The horrible weather meant I had to break out my suit, stockings and umbrella this week.

Suit by Review.

My naked ring finger.

Around the band of my ring is 4 rows of smaller diamonds. Unfortunately, I noticed a little while ago that one of the diamonds had fallen out. The ring is still under warranty, so there isn't a problem in getting it replaced, but I do have to have a naked ring finger for a while :(

My $9, yes $9 shoes purchased from Payless on Thursday night! Quality isn't something I consider when they are hot and only $9!!!

Anniversary by Willow Tree. A bought me this on our 1year anniversary and now it sits on the corner of our bath tub. So sweet, I hope that is us when we're older.

Friday night, A and I had a date at Remember Saigon in Newtown. Afterwards, we met up with some friends to go to the movies to see American Pie The Reunion (hilarious!). I had the afternoon of work, so I went home, had a nap and then got ready. I needed an outfit to go with my new $9 shoes!hahaha

Forever 21 Blazer, ASOS bodysuit, Target scarf, Just Jeans Jeans, Payless $9 shoes.

You can see Robbie in the right photo, our robotic vacuum cleaner, working hard to clean our bedroom floor- go Robbie!!

Back of the ASOS bodysuit- business in the front, party in the back. 

Lychee and ice cream at Remember Saigon. YUMM.

An invitation sample I got from Etsy last week. The pattern is not me or our wedding, but I have decided that this style, the booklet style is what I want. Now I just have to play around with my ideas for tweaking it.

Apart from the movies and dinner, this weekend I also went to a friend's birthday lunch and then had some family over at ours yesterday for lunch.  I cooked lasagna, which turned out pretty well and then showed my family my tricks on the pole. I was lucky that I didn't fall when I went upside down, after the sneaky tequila shots A and I were having in the kitchen hehe.

 At lunch, my dad and my little brothers gave me my first birthday presents.... I'll post on that shortly.

How was your weekend? eventful?

SHOOOOESS!

What girl doesn't love a new pair of shoes? I am really poor at the moment (thanks New Zealand :) ) and still have huge amounts of presents to buy but I can never seem to manage to walk past a shoe sale...

I picked up these babies for $30 from Novo- bargain and perfect for summer!

I will test them out tonight x

SHOES SHOES SHOES!!!

When I walk past a store with lots of fabulous new heels for spring and a 2 for 1 sale… how can I not buy a pair or two???

I was sensible and made one of the pairs a new suede pair of black wedges for work.

This is the other pair I purchased from Novo.

 I am in love with them and think I'll take them out on the weekend!!!
