Today's Tuesday Shoesday around the blogsphere so I thought what better way to start recaps than with a post about shoes. (In addition to running shoes and a pair of Puma ballet slippers, I brought two pairs of vintage sandals and the heels from my bridal shower.)
When making my selections, I thought about what activities we'd be doing and the colors of the separates I was bringing. What I never thought about, was the surface I'd be walking on or the weather.
While the cobblestone roads in Old San Juan were very picturesque, they would have been impossible for me to navigate in my Fergie pumps (4-inch stiletto heel). My sandals were perfect - the heel was sturdy and designed so that it didn't get caught. Where my sandals ran into a few problems were with the humidity and the standing rainwater. In the humidity the insoles came completely unglued. Luckily this affected look more than comfort or my ability to walk in them. My Pumas became my go to shoes as the humidity didn't affect the newer glue. (They also dried out very nicely and quickly after I stepped into a two inch deep puddle.)
Did you have any shoe mishaps on your honeymoon?
Throughout the rest of the week and some of next week, I'll reveal what purse I chose for the trip and why I loved my Mission Workshop tote (you guessed it, more of Anne Fogarty's Wife-Dressing tips) as well as share some tips when planning your honeymoon (we inadvertently chose a lot of activities that weren't rain friendly) and show you some sights from Puerto Rico. (I'll be recapping our adventures with food over at Recipes for the Good Life.) In case you're impatient and want to see more of our honeymoon now, I've created a gallery on Flickr.
Ciao Bella!
Eden
