"Why, helloooo there" wedding heels

This post features offbeat affiliates, meaning that if you buy something featured, you'll be financially supporting this site's mission of bringing awesomeness to readers everywhere.

I certanly can't afford these Marc Jacobs pumps, but it's free to gawk.

Last week I featured a bunch of $40 shoes, prompting one commenter to note that they'd tried one of the styles, and they'd broken the first time she'd worn 'em. Annnnnnd, yep: I loves me some cheap shoes, but sometimes cheap shoes are, well, cheaply made. This week, I thought I'd swing the pendulum hard in the other budgetary direction and go for some designer heels.

Here's the deal with designer shoes: they're expensive. No denying. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. But oh man, are they ever pretty, and the joy of designer wedding shoes is that they are the ultimate "buy it for your wedding; wear it over and over again" purchase. So yeah: $300 shoes aren't for everyone. $800 shoes aren't for most people. But it's free to drool, and I like drooling. Come with me as we look at some designer heels that cost more than I spent on my entire wedding outfit.

I cannot read a too-expensive drool shoe post without mentioning Marchez-Vous designed my Lisa Simpson herself, Yeardley Smith. I like the Giselle: http://shop.marchezvous.com/co…011?page=3

I know you did a large shoe post a while back – could you do a TINY feet post? My feet won't fit into anything bigger than a 5 1/2 and I have the most difficult time finding shoes in my size!

  I'm taking a break from the "special needs" shoe posts for a bit — but I'll get there eventually, promise.

I LOVE the first pair!!! i found a pair of Harajuku Lovers, one of Gwen Stefani's clothing and accessory lines. I can't figure out how to post an image. It is the Kalista pump. They are exactly what I want but, I can't find them in my size or the color. I'm afraid I won't find anything because I am so set on these.

The best thing about designer heels is when you find them on eBay. I'll be on the look out for those black heels with the rainbow glitter!
