2015 Shoes

Here's a visual run down of the "pretty", in my opinion, pairs of footwear that I have bought within the 365 days of the year 2015.  Well, definitely, I love shoes, next to clothes.  So whenever a pair of shoe that I find extraordinarily nice, budget-friendly and evidently comfortable, come across my sight, I cannot go home without taking that irresistible pair with me. 

 Pictured here are 18 pairs of footwear: a mix of flats, sandals and sneakers


 Another recap of my shoe fetish from 2014 - see HERE, 2013 - see HERE

 My propensity for the shades and tints of pink is beyond obvious.  See the different kinds of pink footwear that I have purchased last year.

When talking about neutral colors, seldom you will hear me talk about the color brown or see me wearing the hue.  All I am loving when it comes to "neutrals" is my forever favorite color combination of black and white.  I too love to wear all white, all black and a hint gold for my feet.

 This pair is quite special because I purchased it in Hong Kong and also it was my first time to get to know Katie Judith brand and own a piece of their creations.  I so love the pink color and not to mention the cutesy, unique details - flamingos on my feet!  What makes this shoe uber special is that it was sold with a 70% off discount price!  Super great buy!  (original price was 899 HKD)

I am a lover of anything more than the usual.  I appreciate the concept of style fusion - putting two or three or more concepts in one.  Just like this mary jane ballerina flats from Syrup @ People R People, it is a flat ballerina inspired shoes but there's a strap on the ankles, making it a mary jane footwear as well.  The silver trimmings make the pair more interesting.  This pair was on sale too.  Oh, I am such an extremely skilled hyper-shopper with an eye for everything beautiful yet priced very reasonably (another self-declaration).


The two pairs of foldable flats are from Ballasox.  The time I purchased these, I do not know anything about the brand.  But there I knew from the promotional posters in the store that Ballasox originated from Brazil.  Since these urban ballerina flats were on sale and I knew that rubber soles from Brazil are worth the splurge, so my mom insisted that I buy in two different colors that I like.  I cannot remember the exact discount, but I am sure that these pairs were very economically-priced as I afforded two.


 I am a lover of anything with glizt, so when I saw these two, I have to buy both.  These were not on sale but they were at Php 199.00 per pair, very affordable right?

 For the last two months, I was in search for the perfect red shoes, but since I still haven't discovered it, so when I saw this cute heart details on the this blue suede pointed shoes, there was no second thoughts.  I was more happy when I was told that it was on sale.  Another good buy.

This is the only wedge that I bought this year.  The brand is Chinese Laundry and this is yet another new in my list of brands to love.  What I love about this pair is the simple, yet elegant style and the color combination is a double "C" for classy and chic.  One more thing, this was on sale too at 50% off from Php 2,999.00


In 2014, I had a total of new 21 pairs, in 2013 there was about 40 ++ pairs, and now in 2015 I had 18 pairs of shoes plus 2 pairs of thong rubber slippers that can be worn on casual activities, e.g. running errands.


 Above is my Crocs slipper which my forever travel buddy bought for me in Bangkok, Thailand.  I bought a pair of additional blings - faux pearl + diamond - to accessorize my slip ons.

Below is another thong jelly slippers from Mel by Melissa.  I love this because it is in pink plus the cute - L.O.V.E. design.  And this was on sale too.


As of today, total is 81++ pairs.  

The red snakeskin print pointed flats is my second attempt for that search of the perfect red pair of shoes.  I am still in persistent pursuit for that perfect pair.

 I am looking forward for my 2016 purchases.


So what pairs have you bought last year? Share your stories!

Sigh Style Tips for Christmas Day: Ways to Wear / Tie A Scarf

A few hours from now, it will be Christmas Day! What better way to meet the most awaited day of the year is by sharing one of my favorite skills which is fashion styling.  For tonight, since Christmas is a cold season, I am sharing the different ways on how to wear / tie a scarf to beat this freezing weather.

Sigh Style Tips:
HOW TO WEAR / TIE A SCARF

(1) EFFORTLESS CHIC

This is the most common, most basic way to use a scarf and put on the neck; and this is how to do it:
- Simply drape the scarf on the shoulder with both ends of the same length and then, you're done! - 


Below are some of the other ways on how to tie a scarf, with super easy instructions on how to get it done.

 (2) SIDE-SWEPT RIBBON

These are the steps to be done:
2.1) Drape the scarf over the shoulder, with both ends on the same length.
2.2) Make a single easy knot, but loosen a bit.
2.3) Then make a ribbon and move the scarf a bit sideward - left or right, to create a side-swept look.

(3) THE MODERN ONE LOOP

These are the steps to be done:
3.1) Drape the scarf over the shoulder, with one end slightly longer than the other end.
3.2) Loop the longer end around your neck once.
3.3) Adjust the loop over the neck and balance out the ends of the scarf.  Ends can either be same length or slightly different depending on your preference.

 (4) EASY KNOT

Below are the very easy steps to be achieved:
4.1) Drape the scarf over the shoulder with both ends of similar length.
4.2) Make a single, easy knot and drape the ends at the center of your top - blouse or shirt.
