A Pair of Something Blue

post from Charlotte North Carolina Wedding Planner:: SJB Weddings & Events:: on 04 July 2009 10:05:00 AM. © Charlotte North Carolina Wedding Planner:: SJB Weddings & Events::

One of my favorite wedding trends now is the sassy, colorful wedding shoe. Of course I also love the over-photographed "shoe shot". I know some photographers are a bit tired of it, but it is so amazing to me how a photographer can make them look like something more than just a pair of shoes. If you are looking for a pair of blue shoes to wear for your wedding day, I have found several that I am personally in love with. Enjoy! Martinez Valero

Found these beauties on the Lil Princess Diary Blog. I have been unable to find the designer, but I'll keep looking and if I find it I will post it.

I absolutely love these Giuseppe Zanotti designed heels. This image was found on High. Heels.com .

Now these cuties were found on the Wedding Bee blog, posted by Wedding Bee Author Tiramisu. If you are still looking for a pair of blue wedding shoes, take a look at this post by Tiramisu as she searches for the perfect pair.

Carried away by the wind

post from .: momentsTHATshine.blogspot.com :. on 04 July 2009 09:40:00 AM. © .: momentsTHATshine.blogspot.com :.

I'm back in Canada after a lovely yet bittersweet three weeks in Europe with MM. We met in the airport in Rome, spent a few quiet days in a little Italian port city then borded a cruise. 15 days and a dozen beautiful European city-ports later, we disembarked in the east of England and spent a few days in London before saying tearful goodbyes at Heathrow last weekend.

Looking back at the pictures of the trip, and remembering the whole thing over again, I'm struck by how many of our pictures are of architectural details. Whether it was the fantastically overwrought churches in Italy, the beautiful balconies of Barcelona, the steeply pitched roofs of Bruges (Belgium) or the limestone buildings in London, our pictures seem to be about the grand and little details of each of the places we experienced.

Granted we have a decent number of pictures of each other, usually of MM with a beer in his hand (he enjoyed sampling the various local varieties) or of me with my fun and silly custom made hat courtesy of a fabulous Etsy crafter, WorthyGoods.

And we have pictures of food, things we ate that seemed distinctive, like the gigantic and silly sundaes we ate in London's iconic Harrods department store.

They were straight of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party! (Sidenote: Imagine something like this instead of a wedding cake? Talk about wow factor!)

But overall, the pictures we took seem to act as memory boxes of the unique character of each city or town or country area. The markets, the streetscapes, the buildings, the statuary, these are what we wanted captured on film. And hopefully, too, some of the joy we felt at being together after a three month absence, and yes the poignancy of having to part again in London.

So now that the wind under the plane's wings has parted us both, me back here to Ottawa, MM back to Afghanistan, we will be able to use those photos over the next few months to remember the feeling and flavour and unique nature of each place and of the simple and profound joy of being hand in hand again, walking a city's streets, basking in togetherness.

Happy 4th of July

post from Gangsta Bride on 04 July 2009 08:20:00 AM. © Gangsta Bride

This has gotta be my favorite holiday. Does it get any better than fireworks, alcohol, burgers, swimming? I think not. Today, I'm going up to Lake Lanier to hang out with some friends and go slip and sliding- high school style. I also got a whole denim outfit thats real 90s to celebrate the occasion. Have fun everyone!

Btw, sorry I've been a lil MIA recently. You know how it goes. Sometimes I gotta check myself, and take a timeout and go do important non blogger things.
