For the Love of Shoes

You know that feeling when you say the wrong thing to someone, realize it later, way after it's too late, and then feel stupid about it for days afterward? That's exactly how I would describe my current obsession with this season's shoes! While shopping in London last week, I promised myself not to buy any shoes because I bought waaaay too many than I actually need! So I decided to simply admire the fabulous shoes from afar... tried on a couple of pairs, daydreamed what to wear them with. And then the sales lady interrupted my fantasy with her "Shall I wrap those for you" kind of question, and unfortunately I coyly replied to her with the wrong answer: "Yes". Why couldn't I just say No?! As simple as that. How do one recover from such obsession?! Especially when surrounded by Balenciagas (featured in the photos above and below), Nicholas Kirkwoods, and Olympia's of the season.

I'd have to sell my ticket back home if I ended up buying all the pairs that I saw and loved in London :P

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
