    I'm in love with Louboutin's Margi Diams strass shoes in blue :  wedding Img Thing1

    I mean look how amazing they are. But at $2,000 they are a no-no. I can't seem to find them or anything similar on ebay so I am at a loss as to what to do. I would consier trying to DIY on similar shoes if I could find any, but can't. Help!!!

    Have you checked out Zappos.com yet?

    EDIT: These are strappier, but are sort of similar...http://www.zappos.com/product/7709913/color/18712

    Those are gorgeous.  I also found Louboutin's that I fell in love with but they were over $2000.

    @Statutory Grape:

    Thanks! Those are quite cute but not quite right for the feel of the wedding or my dress.

    These are my shoes. I don't really know a way to put the jewels on the front because of the way it's done but maybe you can figure out a way. They're Chinese Laundry Baldwin.  On their website the blue shoes vary in what sizes it's available in.

    If you absolutely can't find other shoes that are worth it to you, can you budget so that you can order them through a store card and pay them off a fair amount each month? I've never bought Louboutins, but I did pay for a cheaper (but still splurge) pair of shoes that way when I needed them last minute. The interest wasn't bad because I didn't charge anything else to the card and made well above the minimum payment each month.

    @heatherkristin:  I love them! They were so inexpensive and I actually am really excited about the pictures of my shoes on the wedding day!

    @lilyfaith:

    I would definitely do that if they were $700 or under, but I really couldn't live with myself if I paid $2000 for shoes. For my current earning capacity that goes waaaaay beyond splurging :)

    I have.  They actually are a lot more comfortable than I thought they'd be.  I'm not used to the ankle strap yet but they're so far better than most high heels.  I know the platform helps.  The height helped too because it made my dress the right length exactly.

    @plantains: I understand, it's definitely above my limit as well! I just know that everyone's comfort zone is different, and I think a lot of people are more terrified of store cards than they need to be. They're gorgeous shoes, and it's too bad that they're so extravagantly priced. Good luck in finding your perfect shoe, and keep an eye on all the sale sites (I'm sure you are) - you never know when they'll pop up on the Outnet, Shopbop, or Net-A-Porter.

    These are not exactly the same stly, but you could totally bling out the bow part snce it's smooth. And it's sort of close in style. Ish.

    or

    @mishelleez:

    I would definitely love to just starss a pair myself, but first I need to find cute shoes to work with. Too bad starssing suede won't really work, if it did I would have the perfect pair!

    I love those Louboutins and I'd love a pair of super colorful Louboutins for my own wedding day!  I actually just got a pair of CLoubs off of Ebay, using the help of a personal stylist, of sorts.  She hunts down great deals via outlets and secret sources.  I was super happy because I got Simple Pumps for $450, instead of the retail price of $600.  {Not an outrageous discount but those shoes never go on sale!}  If you want the name/email of the person that helped me find my shoes, let me know.  I loved her!

    Those are so pretty, but I don't think they are real based on the price :)
