SHOES CRAZE: ANOTHER CHARLOTTE PLZ

SHOES SHOES SHOES

Yes, I am officially shoes crazy at this moment. I am also expanding more on flats too this time around as I will be travelling to Paris and London (where I am required to walk a lot). I can never understand how do you go travelling wearing heels and it's like 3 inches and above. Salute but not for me. I do not want to be breaking my ankles half way climbing up the steps to Sacre' Coeur.

 

To cut it short I bought the Charlotte Olympia Mascot Shoes in Blue Suede. I was a bit miffed as when I bought this pair from Farfetch it was 40% (thought I had a steal) but it was on 50% a few days later from another website. Arrgghhh. Heart ache. Oh well nevermind, the shoes have finally arrived.

 

 

My purchase:

 

 

 

 

Ohh I have seen so many styles to wear them and see below. Nice :)

 



  

 

 

Ok happy holidays!!

 

 

CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA

ZODIAC FLATS - ARIES IN THIS CASE

The arrival of my Charlotte Olympia Flats is just .... how can words describe - sweet, joy and feet itching to wear them now.

I have been waiting to buy for awhile now, whether it be the Kitty Black Flats or the Zodiac Flats. The Kitty Flats was out in my size so I opted for the Aries Flats. It's not Black so it's great as I already own a Black Kenzo one. Here's the pretty shoes.

Am loving this.

Charlotte Olympia is also having the Chinese Zodiac shoes online now however I prefer these though the colours offered in the new season looks awesome too.

STUDS ++

VALENTINO GARAVANI ROCK STUD PUMPS

Ohhhhh ... my pink fantasy has arrive!

I am never one to wear pink even when I was a young girl - even when I was an infant in fact. I wear my brother's left overs (now you wonder why I am addicted to all sort of pretty dresses).

I have finally found a match for my Pink Top with my Floral Lace Erdem Skirt. Cant wait  to put them on and I have bought a Pink Coach Wrislet/Clutch/Shoulder Bag to go with them too. I hope it's not pink overload. Here's my purchase.

Next to my trusty Kenzo Flats.

What's not to love :)

AMAZING STUDS

VALENTINO GARAVANI ROCKSTUDS

Yes, love all the Rockstud items from Valentino.

I started with the all Black Rockstud Pumps shown below and I have just ordered a Red Rockstud Shoulder Bag for myself.

 




Sorry I just cannot seem to find a photo that works.

Anyway, I was contemplating on the size of the Shoulder Bag whether to go Medium (20cm) of Large (26cm in length). I guess the proportion of the Medium was better taking into account the placement of the Studs and so on. I cannot wait for it to arrive.

 

This is in pink. It's so sweet.

 

This is in Fuchsia. OH nice too.

 

And I am getting this one. Will post more pictures when this baby arrives.

Have a good weekend.

LEATHER & SKIN

BIKER JACKET(S)

Yes, I adore them. Love the toughness that a leather biker jacket can impart on an outfit. If only the weather here in KL permits more wearing of all my leather jackets. I currently own four to be exact. I have a red one which I love, two black ones (one from MNG and another from BB Dakota bought from Shopbop on sale) and a white IRO leather jacket.

 

 

My white IRO Caelie Perforated Jacket - can be worn all the time as it is not thick at all. Got it on discount as well from Net A Porter.

So now I have continued with my venture in finding another piece to add to my collection.

I found it on Matches Fashion. I really do like it but it keep on shedding white specks of material on my clothes. I am so contemplating whether is this a keeper or not ... but hey let me show it to you now. Yup it was heavily discounted too at 70% that is.

Hmm ... can't seem to rotate this picture here.

It's always wonderful to receive presents from Matches Fashion. Jadore!

 

 

The way I intend to style the jacket of course, but the shedding is driving me nuts as well. It feels as if like I should wear from head to toe in WHITE only - but it look so gorgeous though......

 

I think I'll drive the baby home and try it with other items in my wardrobe and if all fails ... and with a heavy heart you are going back Baby.

 

 

I covet the Balmain jackets - well all of them but I am not keen on the price tags though. Here are some of my favourites.

 

 

 

This caused me to purchase a red leather jacket!

 



Balmain Black Leather Jacket

Balmain (Blue) Biker Jacket

 

 

 

Sigh, my new lust - Balmain Quilted Denim Jacket.

 

I need to go and dream now. Have a good weekend.

MAY DAY

ooI!

What happened to April? We are officially in May.

Gee.

April was so lack in updating even though I bought a ton of stuffs cause I was maid-less and assistant-less (i.e. mother in law was away for holiday for 3 weeks). There you go.

In between I went to Perth and back and my favourite buys were from Bonds.

Re-igniting my Uni days once again.

It was such a hip thing to be wearing Bonds - practical and 10 years on I still love their stuffs.

 

Bought the Keenies panties. It is so comfortable. The band is just perfect. Sits on the hips - does not ride and does not interfere with any sides (or bulges maybe) unlike some panties with really wide bands like Hipsters or boy leg which just does not do me any good. Awesome coverage from the back to. Keenie is the best and if only they deliver to Malaysia (groan .. they deliver to Singapore!!).

Wow check out their latest maternity line. I think it's fabulous. I didn't see them in store when I was in Australia though (ehh I guess I was not actively looking for maternity wear).



 

This is the Maternity Lites Bikini Brief. If it's good enough for the bum I reckon it will be great for my next pregnancy (OK ... gotta go and convince H for a 3rd kid now .. ha ha ha).

Loving their tank tops designs too.

 

Active Tank Top!

 

 

I love u BONDS!!!

BOX 4 A BAG

BOXY BAG - MARC JACOBS

Yes, I have followed the boxy bag trend. Yes to structure but boxy is another.

Huge trend this year though I have liked them since last year.

The most apparent was when during the Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 RTW debut its Petite Malle bag (a miniature LV trunk - Alzer or Bisten perhaps). OMG!!! I loved it instantly. If only I can purchase one, but as you know it's like the unattainable Chanel Lego Bag ... well you can admire it from a far but it can never really be owned unless you have some hard cold cash to plonk of course.

There are a lot of second hand jewelery boxy bags that can be purchased from EBay anyway so make a beeline there pronto.

I have just settled for a practical one.

Ta dah. I think I'll bring this baby to Paris with me in June but where do I stash my Perrier? Ha ha.

The Allegra Leather Box Bag currently sold at Matches Fashion at RM1900 but I got mine at RM860 :)

I can still dream of you Petit Malle Zzzzzzzzz .....

PRETTY LACE

FEMININE & CLASSY DRESSING

So who does not like to look like a lady every now and then (though we may be more comfortable in just a 'well lived in' tee shirt and a dog eaten shorts).

However, with all these new and keep emerging clothing lines from designers churning out beautiful and delicate lacey dresses, tops and skirts .. who am I but totally falling head over heels for them. Unfortunately they cost a bomb. Yes, have you seen the ones from Burberry! An embellished lace skirt sold at Matches Fashion retails for over RM5,000! Gulp! Not for me but I can admire and hoping that I could find replicas for the high end ones will be a great delight. Further Burberry manage to top it off with some delightful embellishment on those delicate lace dresses and skirts too. Ohhh double YUM!

BURBERRY

 

Other designers with really great lace items are as follows:

 

ERDEM

 

 

 

 

ALESSANDRA RICH

 

 

These are just some of my favourites and I have managed to score some lacey stuffs too.

 

I managed to obtain a piece of the beautiful ERDEM skirt during THE OUTNET Clearance sale and I am so happy.

 

I bought this delicate Erdem Shawna Skirt at 80% :)

 

Yes, I cannot afford too many expensive lace pieces, I branched out to Zara and bought these too considering the fact that they are so much more affordable.

 

 

 

 

Got the lace top and skirt in Blueberry Colour they called it I think and the TRF lace skirt. Don't expect French Lace but it's enough to satiate my lace hunger for now.

 

Loving it.
