I Love To Style

I am honestly in love with clothes.

And I've just discovered that I love to dress up and style for other people more than for myself.  The satisfaction is overwhelming.  And this new love  has come into realization this year.

Sharing you here some of the people (models / friends) that I've styled for.

I am most challenged when I am given a concept where I can work on with my creativity.  Fashion is indeed art.

All pics are taken by me and styling is of course by yours truly.

Thanks also to my hair and make-up artist Dani Alcedera.

You can actually see more of my styling adventures and a showcase of my styling prowess (all smiles) HERE.

Shoe Fetish: New In For 2014

Shoes, shoes, and more shoes.  

This is my second post showcasing my pretty (in my personal opinion) pairs of shoes.

As 2014 had opened, I began purchasing new pairs from flats to kitten-heeled footwear since some of my old trusted pairs were giving up on me.  Then there is this feeling of urgency to buy new ones to complement my closet finds.

I have always loved flats and my new purchases as pictured above have added up to the chunk of comfy yet chic choices in my shoe drawers.

Lately, I have set eyes on white footwears, and I am more glad to have found these 2 pairs.  I have been hesitant to buy white since utmost care must really be done to maintain the clean and absolutely untainted display.

 

The color-block wedge with peculiar edges was bought January of this year but has not yet been worn even to date.  The question is when? My definite reply is I don't know.  I am not into heels but I just happened to fall in love with this pair, so I bought it without second thoughts.

Maryjanes are one of my favorites and those with T-straps  and pointed front are elegantly appealing in my favorite hues: black & white and gold.  

I am also happy to have found the neutral-colored shoes: the beige pairs.  This round-toe wedge shoe with spikes gives both a girly yet edgy vibes.

I am always drawn to anything with embellishments especially the most bejeweled ones... and this propensity goes forever.  Shoes with ersatz diamonds, faux gemstones, plated metallics will instantly make one's ensemble undoubtedly classy.

White  + metallic studs + kitten heels = I Like

The round-toe pumps are unquestionably comfy as the round edge provides a breathing room for the toes.  This fuchsia pump in kitten heels, is more pleasurable to wear because of the cushion embedded on the insoles.  

As you can see, most of my shoes are in patent-leather, for the reason that this type of material seems to serve its purpose for aeons.

These 3 pairs are my most recent buys from my latest business trip in Hong Kong some two weeks ago.  I tried on the platforms trend since most ladies in Hong Kong strutted this kind of footwear effortlessly.

I have always been into flats especially those made of fabric and those that will not wound my feet.

of metallic flats + faux diamonds + pointed toe = again, I Like!

This is my second pair of yellow-colored footwear for this year.  I actually cannot explain why I am easliy drawn to yellow lately.  Anyway, what have attracted me to purchase this peep-toe sandal is the transparent plastic (maybe PVC) material on the upper portion of the sandals.

I am also liking jelly shoes. Though this one is priced very affordably, it looks much expensive than it's actually cost.  I bought it right away since it was the last pair in my size. Such a lucky purchase.  

Bought this pair from Bangkok. Its designed is inspired by COMME des GARCONS Play. 

Patent leather and embellishments dowses the pining for elegant fashion.

This color block wedge is bought in Mangga Dua Square in Jakarta, Indonesia.  The color combination of the straps screams youthful fun.

Reviving my love for sneakers, with shoelace this time and in vintage floral prints.

Do share also your shoe fetish ladies.

Be fashionable and chic always!

A Sneak Peek to My Shoe Fetish

Latest count as of this posting: 40++ pairs of shoes, of all sorts.  
I have to give out and dispose necessarily some pairs hence a little above 40 is left for me.

But do not expect much for high-heeled ones.  I do not collect shoes.  Because in my a opinion, a collection is something for keeps and not something that one will frequently or occasionally use.  I am a lover of shoes, except for those beyond 3 inches in height.  I love all sorts of shoe style, color, and texture, except again for that high heels.

Showcasing here my shoe fetish.  My shoes deserve some little exposure. :)

We have only one pair of feet, why need a lot of shoes? I just can't stop from buying as I want  my outfits to complement well and that of course, include the footwear.

I believe that the shoes does not just complete but define a certain outfit or a certain look one would want to pull off.  

I am a number one fan of flats, as they are my everyday choice of footwear.

I love embellishments, not just in clothes, but of course, also in SHOES!

My Style Tip:

You don't need to have really expensive shoes just to look good, as long you pair the right clothes with the right shoes, and you'll look not just fine but chic as well.

If you've been following this blog, you would already know that I like POLKA DOTS.  And I am so happy to have found this treasure!  And it is a wedge.  Sad though, since I have to sell this pair since the height gives me quite discomfort. 

I love the winter season. Why? So that I can "legally" wear boots! :)

I also have an eye for pumps, mary janes and hybrid shoes!

Gold and Silver, the colors of elegance. They must be felt, not just seen.  See these shoes are full of texture.

I am eyeing on platforms too!
and those shoes with a little drama, like my green boots with fringe.

This is one of my hybrid shoes: MARY JANE + D'ORSAY in kitten heels

Having too many shoes maybe quite disadvantageous, primarily because we have only one pair of feet and we can only wear them one at a time.  Some may be left unused hence they may self-destruct with longer storage.  And say bye-bye to the lovely pair or pairs. 
My piece of advice: Routinely use our shoes as often as possible, if you just can.

And Oh, who says  I don't love wedge? I certainly do! They help add my height and they're comfortable to wear.

I am recently into sneakers and I intentionally remove the shoelaces so that I can easily wear them.  In gold and silver colors, they're my latest likes.

My most recent pair of satin pointed flats in fuchsia plus those faux diamond embellishment. I so love this pair.

How many pairs do you own?
