June Bride Week Part II

 Dear Shoe Fairy,

I am getting married next year and I am looking for teal, peep-toe heels that have an ankle strap. I wear a size 9 or 9.5, and can spend up to $100 (cheaper the better).  I am going to add peacock feathers to them. I'll try any height.  Maybe they’re more aqua than teal—something like these:

Can you help?

Dear Catherine,

You bet I can help!  (And congratulations too, of course.)  This one already comes bedecked with peacock feathers:

And rhinestones too!  The Peacock Platform Sandal by Johnathan Kayne is beautiful blue satin, with folding details at the toe and on the ankle strap.  It’s got a 4.5-inch heel, but the 1.5-inch platform makes it feel like only three inches, which is eminently reasonable for a long day on your feet.  Size 9 comes in under $100 at $93, but the 9.5 is $122—find them both on Amazon.

Since your example photo was suede, I give you the Haylie by Besty Johnson.  The heel is sizable at 5.5 inches, but there’s a one-inch platform to help out.  (And the ankle strap will hold you in!)  These are just a smidge over your price range at $130, and you can find them at Heels.com.

If you want to have a hand in the shoes you wear, try the design-you-own feature from Nina.  Here I started with the Electra and just covered it in their teal blue luster satin.  Plus you get to pick what kind of sole you get—so I picked silver glitter for you, of course.  This heel is four inches, but there’s also a 3.25-inch version—each will run you $125 at Nina Shoes.

Response from Catherine:

Omg love them all!!!!!  Maybe I will change my shoes every hour.
