Totally Addicted To Shoes

by cecylia on July 30, 2009

My July Shoe Lust-Have List- complied from the beautifully photographed pictures from Net A Porter.

How gorgeous are these grey and red polka-dotted linen Charlotte Olympia ‘Greta’ pumps? Charlotte is a London-based Luxury Accessories Designer. You can check out her complete collection on www.charlotteolympia.com. These cute pumps would soften a leather-clad look or compliment a garden-lunch-look. Either way, they will elongate legs, provide height and attract envious looks from passers-by.

These snake-skin and suede bootie heels are from Chloe. They are in my favourite colour. You can wear these with absolutely anything- jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts, in pretty much any shade. That’s the beauty of grey. I especially adore the palisading leaves curving around the back of the shoes. Simply stunning.

christian louboutin galaxy pass 100 sandals

These Louboutins have got to be The Party Shoe of the season, named ‘Galaxy Pass 100 Sandals’.’ They are very Art Deco and are ultra stylish. I would not just save them for a ball gown for a black tie event, pull these beauties out and pair them with your favourite skinny jeans or grab your shortest mini since these heels are going to help your legs go on forever! These mirrored sandals belong on the mantle piece.

Another adorable pair of Christian Louboutins in blue suede. Great ankle tassel detailing, they would be so flattering on. I can imagine Rachel Zoe recommending these to her size 0 clients.lanvin cone heel pumps

Ahhh, Lanvin, divine. What’s not to love? The gold cone heel, the black patent leather and the grey embossed upper are such a wonderful combination for the lady with sophisticated style. These heels will never date and will add an ounce of luxury to any outfit. Just do not get stepped on!

These Lanvin satin ankle strap pumps are kind of ‘Minnie Mouse going to a Disney Disco party’ shoes. I am showing this view so we can appreciate the intricate detailing around the back. These are so feminine and romantic. I love the pink satin upper, the black ankle bows and the jewelled-studded heels. They take my breath away. You rock, Alber Elbaz.

loeffler randal neve ankle boots

I love unique shoes and these Ioffer Randal ‘Neve’ ankle boots will catch anyone’s eye. They are in butter-soft beige leather- very flattering for any skin tone. Round toes shoes are so comfortable and chic. I just love the laser-cut mesh detailing. The mutiple erforations really give these shoes an edgy, urban  look. A nice tan would be all that is required to compliment these booties.

Bag-alicious

by cecylia on July 5, 2009

Do you ever feel like splurging out on a bag every now and then? I do, but thank God that Net-A-Porter is in pounds and I am not over-paid, I have been able to fight off my obssesive urge to purchase a bag. Recently, on hot Ebay fever, I discovered a gem. I was blessed enough to come across a vinyl 2 story hangbag that is in absolute mint condition! There is only one small tear (shown in the second photo) on the inside of the flap. It was beautifully wrapped in tissue papar (browny points from me for taking good care of vintage pieces) and when I opened the package, I was far from disappointed at my winning purchase.

As you can see, the handbag is composed of two comparments – top and bottom. The top ‘floor’ to hold the necessities- wallet, phone, keys, glasses,  sunnies. I hope they can all fit!

Peekaboo!

Here is the lower ‘floor’. There is a mirror to scare its viewer of her reflection. This must be the make-up department. Instead of using it as a mirror I may use it as my ‘noticeboard’ for posted-notes.

Having only paid for a tiny fraction of the cost of a designer bag, I am delighted with my new Anti-It Bag. Why covet Versace, when you can have vinatge?
