It's my birthday today and while things remained pretty uneventful, I decided to treat myself to some new shoes. Well, I actually really needed them for a civil wedding I'm going to attend this Friday. I'm going to wear these with white linen summery slacks and a nice blouse I bought from H&M a while ago and have hardly worn.
The elaborate Church wedding ceremony isn't until July and I still need to buy something to wear for that. I am dreading it, quite frankly. I went to a bridal shop a few days ago to look at dresses - my god that shit was RAW I tell you! Just awful. I'll have to try regular clothing stores to find a nice dress I think. I hate shopping when you actually need to find something specific, blech!
These shoes are black suede on the outside, and lavender colored leather on the inside. It's amazing for me to find fashionable shoes in my size, and in leather too. You try going into a trendy shoe store and ask for a size 11 or 12! (Size 41-42 Europe) Damn it shoe store, carry my size!!!! That's the downside of being tall (I'm 177cm) - having large feet and finding fashionable shoes that fit.
Please ignore the orange nailpolish, which is China Glaze Orange Marmalade by the way. I'm honestly not feeling it...
Nice! Where did you get them from?

Happy Birthday!!! Feliz Cumpleanos!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, I wish you all the best, and may all your wishes come true! And in my opinion, having a bigger foot is the issue I would definitely bare with if I could just have your height :)))). So enjoy your new shoes and your awesome height, which is, in my opinion, perfect (not extremely tall, but not short either)!
ReplyDeleteFELIZ CUMPLEANOS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hope you have an amazing day! :)
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are so cute! Love them!
Happy Birthday!! Those shoes are adorable. I work in a shoe store and honestly more people wear that size than you think...yet companies only send one 11 or 12 at a time. Hopefully some day they'll get with the program. Hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday :D !!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and many more!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Julia :) I love the shoes. I'm also tall but I always wear heels, they make me feel so glam!
ReplyDeletei guess i got lucky im about 178 and i have size US 8.5-9
ReplyDeleteenjoy ur lovely shoe :)
Happy Birthday, Julia! Those shoes look great on ya! Have a great Birthday :D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteYou are TALL! I thought I was tall at 5'10" (154cm). I have the same problem with shoes though. I have to stalk shoe stores and get there on their stocking day so all the size 10-11-12s don't disappear.
Happy Birthday!!! :) Nice shoes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Julia! Your my favorite YouTube Makeup Guru! Hope you have a WONDERFUL day dear (-;
ReplyDeleteKim

ReplyDeleteI totally feel your pain... but I'm the opposite.. I have abnormally tiny feet :( size 3 in kids, if that's any consolation to you hehehe! Hope you had a wonderful Birthday :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! Today's my bro's bday too!!! LOL. I hope you had a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, julia! ;)
ReplyDeletei totally understand you, with the shoes btw. i have a 11 too. i hate shopping for shoes. but sometimes i get lucky. the other day i found really awesome shoes at goertz 17. some shoes they have in large seizes. try it!
about the dress: i went to a wedding last year and went crazy over the dress... u should look in several onlineshop. they normally have a good assortment.(eg. frontlineshop, conley's or fashion4eva) good luck with that!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are hot! I have big feet, too. I understand how frustrating it can be to find cute shoes.
I was born on the 27th,too :)
ReplyDeletehappy bday! those shoes are just adorable!! i love them!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Julia! I love your shoes! very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, I know how that feels..shopping when you need something..it is so hard to find clothes and shoes that's great when you are in a rush hehe good luck on your shopping! :)
Happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I'm 1.68m and people say I'm tall! You put my "tall-ness" to shame! lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Bday! Cute shoes! I'm actually at the other side of the spectrum. I'm 4'10 with a size 6w shoe. It's extremely hard to find shoes that don't look like they belong to a bady doll, or belong to someone who feet are narrow as toothpicks. And God forbid those itty bitty granny smanny nurse looking shoes!!!
ReplyDeletecute shoes!! and Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a great day!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan you please post wear you bought these shoes from? I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteHerzlichen Glückwunsch nachträglich, liebe Julia ! Ich habe die gleiche Schuhgröße wie du ( 42 ) die Schuhe sehen zuaberhaft aus. Woher hast du sie ?
ReplyDeletecute wedge heels!
ReplyDeleteHon! you don't know HOW I understand you! I'm 175 cm tall and my size is also 41-42 damm! here in Spain is really hard to find beautiful shoes that fit me.... :(
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes!!!
