    See I don't think the Else Chianti shoes are "v. pretty". lol. I think they are very normal, sensible (boring) wedding shoes. Lol. I definitely prefer the silver Miss KG paparazzi shoes I've got - but it's just whether they will go with my dress. (BUT - I am almost tempted to ask my jewellery maker friend to see if she could glue diamantes onto my silver shoes to tie them in more).

    They are lovely shoes Wanchai- But (lol) have you seen these ones:

    I know what you mean - the Paradox ones are just 'bridal', not quirky enough for me really - but comfort is paramount for me! I am not having sore feet!

    I ADORE those Augusta Jones ones, please tell me they're cheap! :D They're not really high enough for me, mind - think I will need a platform!

    Argh, I always struggle with that sort of thing too Lauralou...

    Yikes @ £195! I can't afford that if I'm getting my dream dress, better start looking in Primark :rotfl:

    Laura- I'll have a think about it - but how about something like my Mr & Mrs dessert spoon/fork set?
    What do they like?

    The Augusta Jones shoes are gorgeous aren't they. :) (lol they are only double the shoes you linked to). (PMSL I'm such a bad influence!)

    (My spacebar seems to have a gremlin living under it - so forgive if I start missing spaces!)

    1) Been to Lakeland and bought myself a 20cm square cake tin with a loose base - so I can make 25 5cm square cheesecakes :) 3 loads and I'll have enough to fill the cake stand - it was £11 summink. :D And I'll be using it on Christmas Eve for my first trial run.

    oooo - I love cheesecake it's my favourite dessert...... If you need independent testers, your inline friends will provide honest feedback! ;)
