Rebellious Power Bridal Shoes

Source: http://societybride.com/

I have a confession to make. I'm obsessed with luxury shoes. Don't get me wrong. I don't buy for the "social status" as some would be quick to judge. I actually buy because I'm "kuripot" (stingy) that way. How's that possible you might ask? Luxe shoes last longer. It's all about the quality over quantity. I'd rather have 5 pairs of investment shoes VS having 20 pairs that don't last very long. I've had my fair share of buying affordable shoes that end up destroyed after a few months. So if you ask me, the more practical woman goes for personal items that are well crafted. Yes, it's more expensive, but it will last a lifetime. That being said, my current loves are the YSL Tribute and the Valentino Rockstuds. I was so surprised that I haven't seen brides wear these shoes yet--considering that they are oh so comfy! Everybody seems to go for the Louboutins and the Jimmy Choos nowadays like it is some sort of  "right of passage" -- that it's my wedding and I can splurge. Truth is, they are just like those expensive gowns---worn once and never again. So why not go for the Tributes or the Rockstuds instead? They look soooo rebellious and they are more practical because they are actually comfy. Plus you can wear it after the wedding!

Just a random thought!

Here are some of my fave YSL Tibutes. It could even be your something blue!

Anti-White Gowns for Less

"Dear RB, I've heard of brides that had their gowns made in Divisoria and this sounds appealing to me because I don't think it's practical to spend on the gown but I don't have the time to go through all that trouble. Do you have other suggestions on where I can buy a wedding gown? I want something that costs reasonably without sacrificing quality. Definitely nothing in the six figures! Help!" -- Yvette

Bluefly.com is ALWAYS on sale!
Monique Lhuillier gowns are available at Nordstrom Rack
From Rebellious Bride Kai: 

Dear Yvette, I am all for buying RTW gowns. In fact, my absolute favorite is going through Rustan's selection of Tadashi Shoji gowns. Here's a trick: wait for Rustan's to go on sale! 

However, if you simply don't have the time to wait for a sale, there are two websites that I HIGHLY recommend: Bluefly and Nordstrom Rack-- they have a great selection, and their sale prices are out of this world!

 I also just recently discovered that Nordstrom Rack carries Monique Lhuillier gowns. In my recent trip to the States, I was able to buy a Lhuillier gown for FIFTY DOLLARS -- that's Two Thousand freakin' pesos!!! Amazing! *The picture on your right is the same Monique gown I bought for only fifty dollars!
