Manolo's Exclusives?

I don't know about these 'EXCLUSIVE' Manolo Blahnik sandals for Neiman Marcus.. I am almost 80% sure that I've seen something exactly like them from Stuart Weitzman about a year ago and I'm almost certain that these were the 'Stuart Weitzman' sandal my cousin wore on her wedding day. Okay fine, there are many similar looking sandals around but I guess I expected more from Manolo Blahnik - especially since Sex In The City dedicatedly featured Blahniks in most of its episodes. But I'm not sure who's to be blamed - Neiman Marcus for choosing this shoe as their 'exclusive' or Manolo Blahnik for the design?

Cesare Paciotti - GI Jane

Camouflaged heels for GI Janes in all of us, and the best part is - THEY ARE PATENT! haha great huh, your own camouflaged patents to go sexily with a sex-ed up GI outfit. I would wear this with a Balenciaga outfit - they're all about tough girls.

Pierre Hardy - hmmmmm??

Talk about attention-grabbing, this shoe made me stare at it for quite awhile. How would you walk in these? The wedge looks at least 3.5" but the toes are as flat as it can get. You would basically be tiptoe-ing all the way. Looking at the ergonomics of the shoe, I'm skeptical about its comfortability. The huge difference between the heel and toe has got to effect some balancing because naturally, one would be more inclined to lean to the front when wearing this. OUCH- it's got to hurt!

My 1st 'FLATS' feature

Please don't judge me, for I have a confession to make - I don't know how to walk in flats! Yeap, it's true that's why I prefer heels. Heels are easier to walk in. I can walk in sneakers, but sneakers are different - I can't walk in flats.

THOUGHH if I was forced to walk in flats, I would walk in these Delman's Floral Flat (they're going for 30%-40% off at Revolve)

Ode Paris Hilton!

Paris Hilton annoys me - the way she posses for pictures, the way she walks, talks. But I got to give it to her, she's smart, she's got style and she does not waste an ounce of talent she's got in her, no matter how small. She pursues her ambitions, uses her advantages to the fullest and gives it a slam-dunk. If compared to Lindsay, Britney and the rest who fall in that twisted category, I must admit that I respect Paris Hilton and all that she's done.

Was shopping in the Kitson Webbie and found this hottie.. (ah.. yes, yes, you would have guessed my taste by now - heels, some string-y kinda design).

Here's one from Missoni, the White Variante Slingback going in Kitson for $599.

Chanel - Patent and Signature Chanel Design

I totally forgot that today is Sunday - was about to call all my usual suspects to wish them 'good morning'. hehe.. good thing I didn't or they'd be real angry at me for disturbing their sweet Sunday slumber. I'm not usually up this early on a Sunday either (not unless my mom remembers to wake me up for the family Sunday-walk-at-the-park), but I'm working today and in this part of the country the first day of the week starts on a Sunday instead of a Monday. So technically, I only got a half day's rest because on Friday (when it is a weekend over here) I was working in another part of the country where Friday is not a weekend). Phew.. hectic but I'm LOVING IT... hehe

Talk about taking things for granted, I forgot what it is like to not have an internet connection at home. Today I had to pay 15 bucks to use the internet for an hour. I just needed to print my plane ticket for 5mins but since I was already charged 15 bucks, wth, let's blog. hehe..

I found this new Chanel Patent on one of my favorite sites.
I would wear this with shorts and a cute blouse. Pumps are sexy to begin with and the straps gives it a naughty look - that's double sexy for me. Plus its a patent leather - so I'm giving it tripple sexy points (hehe). I like the little Chanel signature quilt design they added to the heel. Even without the 'Double-Cs' you can immediately know that it's a Chanel. These are going for $750 at Chanel boutiques.

Patent still IN this Fall!!

Whoever thought that patent leather was slowly fading away is so so wrong. This will be the 2nd winter we will be walking in patent leathers. So yes, don't throw them out just yet and in fact there are new designs out to add to our shiny collection. Patent leather this year will come in the fall/winter 2007 colors aside from the usual B&W, such as chilli pepper and carafe. In fact, I saw some already in chilli pepper. I'll write about it, once I can get some pictures. But here's one patent that I like. It's a Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Zip in French Bootie. I like this French Boot design but haven't found a nice way to wear it. Would appreciate some advice :)

I would wear this during the fall but not the winter though. Actually I've never worn anything with heels less than 2" wide and higher than 1" high in the winter but I've seen some people wearing 3"-4" heels and strutting confidently in them. I wish I could do the same, but I'm not willing to risk a broken ankle or knee.. hehe..

Marni - White Wedges

This shoe reminds me of a Japanese clog (especially the front part of the wedge). I guess it was inspired by a clog. I won't usually pick a shoe like this because it's a slip-on. I would prefer that my shoes stick to my feet when I'm walking.But I when I first saw this shoe, I thought that it looked real comfortable to wear because of the design of the wedge and also because it is made of wood. At the first look, I thought that the sole is wood too, but it is actually leather. The upper-parts are made of calf-skin and this whole combination makes it real comfortable. It's $558, but is now going for 50%. I guess this shoe has been out for quite some time now as there aren't many sizes available (including mine :( )
