I cannot help...

but be a total AW right now. Sorry!

So, my best friend in the entire world is getting married next October. I helped her now-fiance design the ring this summer, and I'm so beyond excited for them... even if it means I've permanently lost her to Los Angeles.  Crying

She asked me to be a bridesmaid two seconds after she got engaged (so I knew this was coming), but I must share the package that I came home to today.

box

(notice my response)

What was inside this magic box? Most importantly, a super sweet note telling me what I mean to her, and...

shoes

...my bridesmaid shoes. CL new simple pumps 120. Drool. She said I inspired her when I presented my bridesmaids with Jimmy Choos and she wanted to continue the tradition. OMGod.

BFF wedding > the RoLex wedding. For cereal. And it could not happen to a better couple.

Now, tell me ladies, how I am supposed to keep these beauties OFF my feet until next October?!!??

From Oy Vey to Ole!

    Ummm.... I don't think I could do it!  I'd have to wear those bad boys immediately!

    But seriously, what a sweet friend.  The shoe-giving tradition is definitely one I could get behind.  Too bad my all of my friends are married already!

  • Maybe only wear them inside your house?... You know, to break them in... ;)

    Don't worry, they're on my feet right now. She doesn't want the red bottoms scuffed until we take pictures, but she didn't say I couldn't stay seated while wearing them...haha.

    I'm so honored she continued my tradition. It makes me a little misty. /sapfest.

    Probably, but I made her a promise. After tonight I'm literally going to tape the box shut and hide them amongst their friends in my closet. It kills me, but a promise is a promise.

    I'm curious to see how the other 8 bridesmaids hold up. I will not be the weakest link!
