Need help with shoes! *update - decision made*

Well, these are the shoes I wanted from Mooxee.com but after a bit of digging to check if they were too goo to be true it turns out they are fake, and £230 is a lot to spend on fake shoes!


So I think I am going to "do a Moonpig" (!) and bling up my own shoes but I am struggling with the colour combination!

Do I get ivory shoes and clear diamantes or blue diamantes or blue shoes with blue diamantes or clear diamantes?

I was thinking about having a mixture of sizes for the crystals too... mostly up the heel and then spacing out as they come down the shoe to the front?

    Mrs C - Karen Millen did blue crystal shoes that were super comfy and very pretty about four months ago. No idea if they are still in store, but there were a ton on Ebay last time I looked (about four months ago). Might be worth a look?

    I know - they were my inspiration! But... I spoke to the merchandising team at Karen Millen and they don't do them anymore and no plans to do anything similar...

    Found them on ASOS but only size 7 left (I am a 6!) and they also have no plans to restock!

    I have the search saved on ebay but no joy yet!

    Ravel £65 - perfect colour!

    Ebay £40 - too pale?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170353509523&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    I want to put the diamantes on in various sizes like this but spread further out towards the front....

    Hi good luck with this!

    i love the Ravel ones but the ones on ebay that you say are too pale wont look that way when covered in gems.

    I gem my daughters and here partners dance costumes and to say its hard going is an understatment and very expensive.

    I'm sure they will look super stunning when complete x

    Please don't worry - I am definitely not underestimating how long it will take me! I have 10 months to go and I'm starting now!

    I made a decision and have ordered the ravel ones, should be here tomorrow, will flash when I can! Hopefully the colour will be right. Have also ordered some gemstone samples to make sure they go... will then make a start!!!

    I am followng in Moonpigs shoes... she got hers from ebay (search for hotfix rhinestones or diamantes, just make sure they are the flat backed ones) and stuck them on with superglue!!!

    I will need to use tweezers and do it slowly or I will make a horrible mess!!!

    Fab!! ? Good luck! Start with the heels and platform in case you get bored ?

    Did you order them from shoes.co.uk? They've got some brown ones I want (there are zero brown shoes in the shops!)
