Posted by on Oct 26, 2011 in Weddings | 1 comment

This morning, as I perused the latest wedding news, I saw an article about a Fall 2012 wedding trend that was rather strange…black wedding gowns.  The article featured “Vera Wang, the unofficial queen bee of the bridal couture world, showing her latest collection as part of New York’s bridal fashion week.

What in the world IS foot jewelry you ask? Most of the people I ask have never heard of it.  Others say ”sure” because they think  it’s like a real sandal with a bottom and jewels on top.  And still others believe they’re like what hippies used to wear made out of hemp.  In all honesty, they are nothing at all like that.   Simply put, foot jewelry is a sparkling adornment for the tops of your feet.  Some  call them barefoot sandals, soleless sandals or bottomless sandals.  Believe it or not they’ve...
