Glamour Girl

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva as well as a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, make sure they understand it, they're happy. And what, exactly, makes them happy?

A must in most color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are important to this particular beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail won't disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and features a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for additional glam power.

Embellishment spans 6 inches and it is 1 inch high, allowing her becoming a true princess bride.
