My Emmy Shoes...

Are you tired of hearing about the Emmys yet?? I hope not but if you are just skip this post and come back to my blog tomorrow.

The Creative Arts Awards are less than two weeks away and the REAL Emmys are less than 4 weeks away.

In prepping for these big events I've:
-completed about 6 weeks of boot camp and not stopping now!
-been shopping for my jewelry but I haven't picked anything yet.
-booked a makeup artist but I still have to figure out a look
-booked my hair stylist and we are going to try a hairstyle this Sunday for practice
-helped Q pick out his tux (with lots of photo texting and some help from my facebook friends)
-bought my Emmy shoes!!


I bought them from Zappos.com and they are Cole Haan's with Nike Air technology. A fellow editor who has been Emmy nominated several times (for Extreme Home Makeover) gave me all kinds of great advice on how to prep for the day - most importantly she told me to make sure I wear comfortable shoes. I've been wearing these shoes with jeans to work a couple of times a week and they truly are comfortable - I know they don't look it, you'll just have to trust me.

but the big question everybody has been asking - what about the dress??

Y'all will just have to wait!

but here's my dilemma. Can I wear the same dress to BOTH award ceremonies? or do I need two different dresses?

Plus, I keep thinking I'm forgetting something...

Gorgeous shoes!

Don't know the answer about the 2 ceremonies, but is it a good excuse to buy two dresses? ;)

I would think you'd want two dresses for each ceremony, you'll see pics from the different events and everyone will know it wasn't the same night... besides it gives you a chance to try two different looks!

Since I imagine your dress is going to look FAB you could probably pull off one dress with a big change of style & accessories like a jacket/scarf treatment to make a whole new look... you could rock it!

Have fun!

PS - Love the shoes! You're totally doing the right thing with wearing them around to get them broken in and comfy :)

Beautiful shoes (and I love that they are affordable).

Of course you need two dresses!

Jessica Gottlieb said...

Sorry to say, you need two dresses.

Two.

The Cole Haan Nike Air's are the absolute best... also fab for travel when walking loads. I adore mine- and those you selected are fierce.

Two dresses - hello, no need to really ask.

Besides you have to show off your bootcamp bootie in as many ways as possible

2 dresses. No questions. ;)

I am famous (infamous, perhaps) for wearing high heels but I always tell people that if they are on my feet, they are comfortable. Period. Thanks for the suggestion of more, comfortable heels!
