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...

Happy Birthday!!! Feliz Cumpleanos!!!

Happy 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)!

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

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!

Happy birthday!!
You 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!

at: 8:00 am said...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, julia! ;)
i 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!

Those shoes are hot! I have big feet, too. I understand how frustrating it can be to find cute shoes.

Happy birthday!!
at: 5:32 pm said...
Happy belated birthday! I'm 1.68m and people say I'm tall! You put my "tall-ness" to shame! lol
at: 7:19 pm said...
Happy 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!!!
at: 5:49 am said...
cute shoes!! and Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a great day!! :)
at: 2:44 pm said...
Can you please post wear you bought these shoes from? I love them!!!
at: 12:51 pm said...
Herzlichen Glückwunsch nachträglich, liebe Julia ! Ich habe die gleiche Schuhgröße wie du ( 42 ) die Schuhe sehen zuaberhaft aus. Woher hast du sie ?
at: 6:33 am said...
cute wedge heels!
at: 8:06 am said...
Hon! 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.... :(
I love your shoes!!!
