Many designers, who showcase their wares at New York’s Fashion Week (both Spring and Fall ‘08) showed ample amounts of metallic everything.  You saw metallic in garment detailing, suits, dresses, jackets and shoes.  We’re all well aware of the fact that wedding designers pull a lot of inspiration from the runway, and Ann Taylor is no different.  Ann Taylor’s bridal line, Celebrations has loads of cute bridesmaid’s dresses, (one, of which, i found for around $25.00, but was only available in size 16) but it’s their Melanie shoe that has won my heart.  Priced at a fair $108.00, this elegant summer sandal, in shiny metallic leather, would be a great option for summer weddings and beyond.  I, honestly, believe you could get some wear out of a pair of these babies.  For the faint of feet, beware, these are a healthy three inches of heel.  Be sure to visit Ann Taylor’s website, and use their zooming feature on this shoe, if you’d like to inspect the detailing.
