Tuesday Shoesday | A Jimmy Choo Facebook Find

Oh, Tuesday Shoesday! You've become quite a popular post series here on Merci New York!
This week, instead of sharing one of our favorite wedding shoe finds, we've asked readers to share their real-life wedding shoes with us. {Because let's face it, as much as we love seeing gorgeously photographed images of shoes, we want to make sure what we're showing you is current and available to buy for your wedding day, too}!
jimmy-choo-raquelle-wedding-tuesday-shoesday-shoe-heelThe forum was out late last night on Merci New York's Facebook fan page {so be sure to hop on over, see some real-bride shoe finds, and share in the convo}...
Our weekly favorite came from Ellen Fitzgerald, who is wearing the above shimmery and glittery Raquelle flat from Jimmy Choo. We l-o-v-e that they are both high-fashion and function. As Ellen said, "They're gorgeous, plus my feet won't hurt." Cheers to that!
The Raquelle flat is available to purchase for $695 at Nordstrom. It's one of many styles in Jimmy Choo's current 15th Anniversary "Crystal Collection," an assortment of high-voltage evening shoes that Jimmy Choo's creative director, Tamara Mellon, claims are both vintage and modern in scope.
“In celebrating our 15 years, I wanted to create a modern glamour that stands for the style and imagination of Jimmy Choo," Mellon stated in a recent press release. "I was inspired by vintage jewelery to add sparkling and luminous details to iconic Jimmy Choo shapes."
Bravo to Ellen for picking a limited-edition classic for her wedding. We're loving the Raquelle and hope you do, too!
Be sure to pop by Merci New York's Facebook fan page for more real-bride shoe picks for today's Tuesday Shoesday... Share in the conversation and perhaps next week's featured pick will be your own.
