talking about feet...

I read Miss Trail Mix's blog post yesterday and it was about her making a basket for flip flops for the reception. And I kinda laughed out loud afterwards cause I thought if we put out a basket of FREE flip flops all the Chinese people would take them, even if they weren't gonna change out of their high heels. :oP


I have recently been introduced to shoe clips through the wedding world, most notably from Miss Sewing, lately. I've never ever considered them. But I haven't seen anything I've really like lately, shoe wise, so I may have to buy a plainer pair and dress 'em up. Today I bought a pair of "back up shoes" that are rather plain, and more strappy than I like. Like, I'd rather have more of shoe that has more fabric around.  So like a peep toe front, and either a full back heel part, or at least a strap to hold it in place, cause I don't want to deal with losing a shoe on my weddin day!

LOVE these.  They're dyed shoes with shoe clips, so I theoretically could get them in orange!  :]  The shoe, before it's dyed is $50 though.  So plus dye and the shoe clip could get a little pricey for shoes.  (Shoes aren't a super priority for me.)  (Source)

See the satin peep-toe shiny bling theme?  :-P  (Source)

------->  If anyone sees such satin shoes, PLEASE ALERT ME.  :]  <-------

And while browsing Esty today, I found these pretty shoe clips...

... Except I wouldn't get them cause I don't think I wanna do the flower thing.  I wanna sparkle?  haha.  (Plus, it's $25 + $8 S&H, definitely more than I wanna spend on shoe clips).  But out of alllll the ones I saw on Esty, I really liked this one.  It's so delicate and wispy looking  :]  (Source)

And on a side note, RSVPs are already rolling in!!  Wheeeee!  People who RSVP early are awesome.  HAHA.  :-P  Most mailed invites are out already.  Mailed out the Ithaca peeps today.  Still have those 20 invites I mentioned last time to relatives and assorted international people.  But I finally got more ribbon from Michaels today, so they should be going out in the next few days.  :]  Yay!  I feel accomplished.  :-P  And a lot of work went into the invites in terms of design, printing (the stress of it?), troubleshooting, assembling, so it's like... a double accomplishment.  :-P  AND... it's like the official thing to invite people to the wedding!  :]

Is it weird that I still have a couple people that are still pending on the invite list?  Mostly people I don't want to invite but worry about... backlash feelings.  Blah.  And sometimes it's not something the "ditch" effort can solve with, "Oh, I'm leaving [town] so I don't have to deal with them" but my parents are still here, and I will return eventually.  :oT  So... they're not easy clear cut to-chop-or-not-chop people.

Anyway.  So.  Have you RSVP yet?  :oP
