With the recent lock downs and closures, you know who I feel sorry for now?

Brides & Grooms.

Mostly brides though. They spent so much time planning, preparing and—bam, it’s all gone. But in some places: no friends, no venues, no music, no flowers, no food…it’s a lot to let go of.

Maybe you've only postponed & now you have a chance to rethink your your shoes.
Dry your eyes! Have some fun window shopping for wedding day shoes…as unique as you are:

Lace & crystal 

Manolo Blahnik Lurum Crystal-Embellished Lace Mules
 intermixonline.com/manolo-blahnik/lurum-crystal
Mules are great to slip into, but they can be tricky to walk down the aisle. Make sure your weight is forward and you don’t drag your heels like you do in your bunny slippers.
p.s. for your mom (or mom-in-law) Blahnik has a classic halter pump in pewter, black or nude (closer to a blush), Carolyne Leather Halter Pumps (a mid-heel which is just about 3 ½ inches) or Carolyne Leather Slingback Pumps in white or brown (closer to a rust) with a low 2-inch kitten heel.

Metallic & cork wedge

Aleili 120 Gold Mirror Leather Wedge with Buckle

Not gonna lie, these are going to give you serious height (nearly 5-inch heel0. You’ll be nicely balanced on top of a cork platform. So if you love heels these are for you. But don’t be like Carrie & become fashion roadkill at your own ceremony. Best part about these shoes is that they go with everything—from jeans to a glorious gown.

Primary colors

Louboutin Baobab pumps

If you are not a traditional bride—these retro pumps are the patent leather pop you’d love. With a solid 3 ½ inch heel and a nice round toe—you can dance all night in these shoes. And these are so fun--maybe your bridesmaids may want to rethink their shoe choices.

Sensible shoes
Vera Wang Satin d’Orsay flat

Vera Wang did us all a favor when she created these shoes. Flats in a great ivory satin with a crystal embellished ankle strap. The shoes won’t slip, there’s no heel to worry about. You can walk all day. Even your wallet will be happy (under $80). 

 Sneakers!!
Converse wedding shoes? You bet. www.converse.com/shop/wedding-shoes
Mr. & Mrs. in tuxedo black and bride white. These are the choice for many brides at the reception!

I am Where I am

I will say goodbye to 2018 with mixed emotions. I can't say it was a great year. I lost my job. It's terrifying no matter what you are or how old you are. To be dumped suddenly, without warning or compassion is jarring at the very least. I recovered from the shock and sent out resumes. I thought, the economy is good; there's got to be something for me.  Well, there was plenty out there--and still is. Problem: nothing fit. Nothing full time, adequate pay or  of commutable distance.  In order to grab some gainful employment, I applied for a substitute teaching position. The training program was intensive. I've never worked so hard to for a position with such low compensation and such high expectations. I landed in a multi-disability class with autistic and intellectually disabled children under the age of 10. Nothing I had ever done before (even working in a trauma unit) prepared me. And yet I love it. I never thought I would be in a place wher...

Writing, shoes and book reviews

  Surrender I am in a good place. Not an easy place but a good place. Back in the saddle; enjoying the ride with a few active WIPs (works in progress). After years of fighting inner demons I am finishing projects. I'm doing what writers do. Finally. I wandered away from the work of sitting down and hammering out the next scene or chapter. I got caught up in the busy-ness of the writing business. Crafting query letters, pitching tweets, revising synopses (long and short versions) and researching agencies. All of these things are so critical to my career, but they take away from what I am – a writer. Imagine a cabinet maker, not making cabinets. He'd have nothing to show for his experience or expertise. And have nothing in his checking account. How did I get to this good place? I did two things at the once. I stopped fretting and surrendered. Worrying is true waste of time. Letting go, is not. Rather than wrestle with fate to bend it to my will, I am working with ...
