For those of you who know me as a label whore, I'd just like to say that I fell in love with these shoes BEFORE I knew they were Christian Louboutins. cheap wedding invites! I was gonna build up to that part, so the big fancy designer reveal would be more climactic. But I'm impulsive, which is really what this blog post is about.
OK, well anyway, back to the shoes. I was trying to find this Weddingbee post that I had read, loved, and needed to steal some ideas from. (Apparently planning a wedding is all about stealing ideas.) So I was going through pretty systematically and stumbled upon Mrs. Scissors's post about her wedding shoes entitled .Those smart readers who know Christian Louboutin and know what Love Flats are will be gasping, as this is one iconic and historical shoe. Apparently, Princess Diana inspired these shoes! Christian Louboutin designed them for her because he always wanted her "to have love at her feet." Royalty, sentiment, and the shoes are pretty, too?!? I'm sold!
THEN I found out they were Louboutins, which made my heart patter and this funny feeling arrive in the pit of my stomach. Was it love? Lust? Excitement? The knowledge that the most beautiful flats EV-er are too expensive, but I will buy them anyway and rock them forever for the rest of my life and will only feel marginally guilty about it, and when I do feel guilty I'll just wash that guilt down with a Sun Drop and a plate of potato pancakes from Perkins with a side of sour cream and two strips of bacon?
But then I started hearing that you have to put your name on a list. This might be a little bit out of my league (or, we can look at it as one of the most exciting purchases EV-er). Do they sell Louboutins at our local Nordstrom? No, because I live in North Carolina and no one needs Louboutins in North Carolina. But they do sell them at Neiman Marcus, Saks, and two boutiques in Paris where I am heading in July.
Some of the initial excitement might die on these shoes, but until then I'll be putting Neiman's and Sak's numbers in my cell phone ASAP and making runs to the Circle K for a Sun Drop.
