it's fashion week in New York,

money's tight, and I wasn't feeling well this morning. What's a girl to do?

Spend the morning window-shopping "Windows-shopping" for $500 shoes. Because if you're gonna dream, it's best to dream so big that the shoes are beautiful beyond avarice.

If you like the look of ballet slippers, Delmans are your best bet.
If you drooled over the fashion style of "Sex and the City", click on over to the HBO site for fashion credits from most episodes. Or check out these Manolos at Style.com

My personal picks are:
* Delman champagne sandal with a satin bow (i know, i know, the encrusted swarovskis are a bit much)
* Bottega Veneta snakeskin pump - Sorry, no direct link here. Click on skip> collection > shoes > 5 > lower right picture, middle shoe.
* I also like the Delman Highlander plaid pump (fourth column, second row) but I can't seem to find it on the site. I wish it didn't have the crystal embellishment. You'd figure Burberry would have something similar but apparently not. I want them to wear on Christmas Eve...
* Manolo Blahnik patent leather mule

Can I wear this to my wedding, or does it look too busy?
* Dior romantic pump
The model is wearing it (and a white trench coat!) here.

Neiman Marcus has an online clearance sale! Wahhh...I kinda like these too, but i could just be blinded by the $200 discount. This is why i shop with Patrick.
* Cole Haan pearlized pump
* Delman woven pump with bow

Or it could just be that i'm in a pink mood today. I even thought this was cute.
* pink floral rifle

I know. I'm despicable.

man... you and stilettos...

those woven leather things are pretty un-hot.

i think the dior 'romantic pump' would work very nicely with a tea dress. preferably a-line or empire style. wedding?

what can i say? i need the height. The more I can lengthen my legs (or give the illusion thereof), the better.

"un-hot"? Ouch. Thanks for the honesty. You could be my shopping critic.

A-line maybe. Probably not an empire cut unless i happen to be pregnant around that time. Now that i think about it tho, i kinda want to have a ball gown and evening ceremony. The Dior pump would be better suited to a Sunday morning wedding, followed by champagne brunch.

yeah, i'm still dreaming of a church wedding someday. Even tho i don't go to church.

ball gown? evening ceremony?

sounds a lot like a wife i know... *cough*mommy*cough*

strange parallelism.

i was wondering about the church thing, too... what if both my husband and i aren't religious? would we even have a priest???

i was thinking more of a Cinderella-type wedding reception:
Disney weddings

Deciding against a Catholic wedding actually frees you up considerably, since Catholic nuptials are only permitted inside a church. You could be married on a Bora-Bora beach at sunset, in the picturesque garden of a fabulous friend, or even by the Captain of the USS Enterprise 1701-D, in Vegas:
Star Trek Wedding Experience

What you DON'T want is to be married in front of a justice of the peace with none of your friends or family there, and have your groom head to the office shortly after. It's kind of funny, but also pretty sad.
