Hmmmm they're not really my style! I want something more dressy, and since my dress is pale gold I need something that will blend in, even though people won't see my feet I'll know that they look odd!

Oooh actually these ones look OK! £10 too! Bargain!

ah sorry i couldnt tell from your pic it was that colour,oh yes theyr nice x

They're pretty but I'm not sure if I'm totally sold, might have to pop to the shop to have a look! I need something sorted soon, my dress comes into the shop in July (oh, that starts tomorrow! Will be waiting for a phonecall all month and they probably won't ring until the 31st!) and I want both pairs of shoes to try with it to get the right in between length sorted!

I was having a little browse on Glitzy Secrets and I found this; I think it might be more fitting than the one I'd originally picked out, and it's only £72 compared to £199! My Mum was paying for it anyway, but I don't want her wasting money. The pattern looks quite similar to the sparkly brooch on my dress so it might tie it together a bit better. I can't find the band I'd picked out in the dress shop online any more, must be last season's as it's been taken off the website! That was 2 'flowers' with sparkles and pearls. I'll have to go in and have another look, if they've still got it in with it not being on the website any more!

Birdie the ones you've just linked to from Asda, are my bridal shoes, except mine are the white ones. Yes I've seen the Louboutins, which is why I thought that these shoes would be perfect for you. I knew you wanted some heels and that they had to be wedge for the beach, and blue for your something blue. However, I think they are in the sale, which is why they aren't online. What size are you?

Just found these on ebay and they have gold and blue on them, and quite MSE too. They seem to have a few sizes available.

Oooh they're cute SM! Not sure if they're a bit high but they're nice anyway for general wear... Will have to keep an eye on them and may be tempted to buy! I'm a 6 1/2, which is so annoying, I wish I was a straight 6, it'd be so much easier!

I've just booked Monday after next off work, going shopping with Mum and MIL2B so I'm going to have a good look for sandals then, I really prefer to buy clothes and shoes in person because I'm awkward!

I know what you mean Birdie - I'm the same size, and am flat footed, so have to be careful what shoes I wear. Have fun with the shoe shopping.

Well after clubbing together with other MSE B2Bs I'm the proud owner of 50 pairs of flip flops! I'm impressed with them, they're pretty patterns and feel comfy too, not too solid which I was a bit worried about! Every pair is 'marked' but all I can see is a little discolouration on the bottoms which doesn't really matter at all, fab find Mrs Moore!

I'm going to get a big basket to put them in and I'm going to put a sign on with a little rhyme on it on the basket so ladies can either swap their uncomfortable shoes for flip flops as their feet start to ache or change into them straight away to feel more beachy!

Here's a picture of the three styles I've got, just had a play around with some ribbon I had lying around because I'm going to tie them together to make them look nice and so people aren't faffing about trying to snap the elastic holding them together at the minute. I may make some fancy 'wraps' like someone is selling on etsy if I feel really clever!
