it's all about shoes...

shoes.
shoes are a fantastic thing.
you can never go wrong with a good pair of shoes.
shoes will always look good on you.
shoes.
i love shoes.

i own various types of shoes.
from trainers to sky scraping stilettos.
from bazaar buys to high street boutiques (i love nine west!!).
from fabric to leather.

to me, a pair of shoes complete an outfit.
you could be wearing anything...but what you choose to adorn your feet with determines your look for the day.

picture this.
white tee + pair of jeans.

1. match this with ballerina flats + bright coloured tote = instant chic-ness
2. match this with tan coloured 4-inch heels + light coloured jacket = perfect for casual Fridays
3. match this with strappy stilettos + clutch = party after work

pretty cool huh?

i do have a lot of shoes in the cupboard. over the years, i have discarded a lot too. one day, i will take pictures of my favourite shoes...:)

as i was walking back from lunch, i walked past Marc Jacobs. i caught a glimpse of some ballerina flatst. and i realised...i have never bought designer shoes.

for every bonus/rewards i get, i usually get myself something expensive, and something i would never usually buy. and for the past 3 years of working, i have only splurged on designer handbags.

but this...!how inspiring (though i don't think my husband would agree...:p)!

i AM looking for a pair of ballerina flats to replace my well-loved & worn out black Primavera flats. but i havent' been able to find any that feels like "walking on air"...:p

but now...! thinking about those beautiful undiscovered shoes!

Note: To explore Marc Jacobs, Cole Haan, French Sole and the likes!

i just realised...i have NO clue how much designer shoes costs. :p

getting all excited about shoes...i thought i'd drop by Gap in KLCC. it was like...a calling?
:p

and there they were. beautiful beautiful flats. and super duper comfy. it really felt like "walking on air"! it had a cushiony, quilted inside soles, which largely contributed to this sensation.

i couldn't resist it. the shopaholicism took over my body (and wallet!). and...i bought...TWO pairs...(eeks! time to hide from the husband?)...

Black Tux Ballet Flats - RM169


Pewter Ruffle Ballet Flats - RM189

i am happy. these will do for now... :)
no harm looking elsewhere, though!

sex and kuala lumpur

the female population worldwide was holding their breath awaiting for the moment that carrie and her girls will grace our silver screens again...

we knew, there were going to be outlandish outfits worn by her, but we also know that there will be the sweet dresses worn by charlotte (a fellow pear shape!), sleek looks by miranda and outrageous garments by samantha...

i'd like to think that the authors of this blog does resemble these four women. but, i don't think we are that crazy with our outfits...i guess, we are the "safer" versions of them...:)

anyway, these outfits were created by pink-haired extragavanza, patricia field.
it really is no surprise that the outfits she creates are pretty eccentric (for carrie at least!), because it does reflect her personal style (not full blown of course...!)

and now, we can get a piece of Patricia Field in our own shopping mall! Patricia is collaborating with Marks and Spencers, bringing in the New York Manhattan style to Kuala Lumpur (currently only available in Suria KLCC outlet).

Here are the few outfits that caught my eye (online!).

marks and spencers is usually the place i go to buy my bras and undies (they have the best!!!) and maybe nighties & PJs...oh and don't forget the food!

i have never bought any clothes there, because they were usually very...auntie style (except per una!)...:p...
but now...! ehem...

:)

jewel of my eye...

fall is here. the season where trees turn into glorious gold and rich auburn. where the first chill arrives after a sunny summer.

then again, we live in malaysia. where there is no such thing as trees turning into gold (except when it dies!). we are however blessed with warm weather all year round, and i ain't complaining.

even though we do not share the four seasons, we do however share the fashion trends, which fills our favourite fashion stores.

my favourite fall trend this year are the jewel tones. jewel tones, are bright coloured apparel & accessories in gemstone colours. think ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc.

the rule is to wear one bright coloured apparel at a time. match it with basic colours (preferably DARK)...like black. never overdo it, or you will end up looking like a clown!

so, during ONE lunchtime...i noticed the 'Sale' sign at Topshop. enticed by the 'Half Price' banners, i entered with anticipation of finding a bargain something nice (and on sale!).

i ended up with...

i know, i know...they all look alike. the first two IS actually alike! the only reason why i bought two of these was because you get 20% off if you were to buy two. and, it is really flattering on my figure!
the teal blouse (farthest right) is made of viscose. sadly, it doesn't seem to be as figure hugging on me but comfortable nevertheless.

:) the shopaholic in me is appeased...

you know you are a shopaholic when...

you will buy the same top in all colours...

you can memorise all the shopping mall's layouts & directory...
you will buy a top 2 sizes smaller because its a "bargain"...
you will buy a top you think will fit after your Ultimate New York diet...
you will buy from anywhere, be it a designer boutique, high street shops, bazaars, online, etc...
you will always justify your purchases to anyone that will listen...
your closet can't close...
you still have clothes with tags on it...
you have a special cupboard for paper bags...

oh heck, i love clothes. i love shoes. and i love shopping...and it ain't a disease!
