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!

How to Wear Black and White

Yesterday, I attended a whole day seminar relative to my profession.  Since I know this is one of those events that requires more dormancy than action i.e, sitting the entire time is expected.  So I decide to wear something comfortable without sacrificing my personal style. 

I am most attached to black and white, my closet is filled with apparels of the color combo. What I wore yesterday is a demonstration of how to wear black and white effortlessly yet chic.

 In events like this, I tend to wear my not-so-usual type of footwear.  I go for heels, kitten heels in exact.

I have always been opened to how much I am in awe with the black and white color palette, as seen HERE.

To break the monochromatic appeal of the black and white color concotion, I opted for a brown bag, another neutral color to match my classic ensemble.

Gold accessories added sophistication to my outfit.

What I Wore:

Top - Cyecle

Cropped pants - G. Fiesta Mall

T-strap B/W mary janes - Cardam's Shoes

Bag - Nine West

Accessories - Pop Art at ATC 

Sunglasses - SM Kids

Are you in to the black and white color combo?

Bangkok Photo Diary 01-2014

I have talked much about my favorite place outside my country in my other blog.  The said blog focuses more on my styling stints and sort of also a travel diary.

I am the type of person who dislike repetitions, like if I watch a movie, one full session is more than enough.  Though there are excemptions like the Hunger Games series and of course, the Lakorns from Thailand.  Yes, I am always amaze with Thailand primarily because I am now a fan of their local artists (as in actors / actresses) and that last January of this year, I opted for Bangkok than anywhere else in the world to enjoy my holidays with my favorite - and forever -  travel buddy.  

My recent trip to their country is no longer my first, but my third...and my fingers are counting.

I will share to you the places we went, the foods we ate, the outfits I wore , the people (person) we met during the latest trip.  The photos are randomly ordered.  More photos and with more talks about this trip HERE.

Enjoy Amazing Thailand!
