Remember this post?

Well, it seems big girls (yes, that means us!) can now join in on the fun! Check out these shoe socks I found in Target!

They look like you’re wearing funky old school sneakers at first glance. If you think this is cool, there’s more to come!

This has got to be the most fabulous tic tac toe “board” ever!

It’s a gift from my friend, The Baghag and it’s such a great reminder of her! She used to collect shoes before she started collecting bags, and every time I see this on our coffee table, I immediately think of her!

Every girl/lady visitor of ours never fails to notice this as she sits on our couch, no fail! It’s really such a hit! The bags and shoes are so tiny and cute, I hope Berry will be a good girl and not swallow each piece whole though! Hahaha!

Schu may have its roots in Singapore, but footwear from Schu will always be neck and neck with the latest in Europe simply because it’s designed in Italy and France! Yes, the hotbeds of fashion and accessories!

I bought my first Schu in Singapore, back when it wasn’t available in Manila, and it was love at first sight. I was on the hunt for delicate flip flops and what do I see but a beaded turquoise beauty with a slim shape and a metallic footbed that I just had to have it! I wore it to death, until the beads fell off and the strap broke but I just can’t bear to part with it. It still holds a special place in my closet and while I have had other Schus of the same delicate nature, I will always keep my first Schu! Now that’s proof of great design!!!

Better late than never! But these bubble gum shoes launched last October 5, are pretty cute! There’s a style here too that reminds me of Marc Jacobs’s mouse flats! Cute, and definitely much cheaper! Haha!

While waiting to buy my Lanvins, in the meantime I will be happy with my black fringe boots…

I think it’s a classic, Kate (do I even need to mention the last name?) has been wearing it years ago…

And they just won’t seem to go away…

…and this season, it’s just more visible than ever! I’ve seen it mostly on Japanese girls and they just look so cute wearing it with short dresses and shorts! So kawaii!!!

Spring and summer bring about these lovely blooms…

Sweet-scented lavanders…

and these i dunno whats, hehehe…

It’s also the perfect time to wear colorful crocs!

But because clunky shoes aren’t exactly my style, this pair, no matter how cute, isn’t mine…

See?

Heehee!

I found out from my friend Chico’s blog that these exclusively designed shoes by Vivienne Westwood for Melissa will sell for Php 7,500 in the Philippines!

Given that this is a creation of the fabulously eccentric British designer Vivienne Westwood, and Melissa shoes are known for being comfortable, would you buy plastic shoes for Php 7,500?

I’m sure you must own something made of leather, be it shoes, bags or a jacket maybe? If so, I’m sure it didn’t come cheap, after all, genuine leather, especially the buttery soft ones come at a price! That’s why I highly recommend that you use a leather care product to prolong its useful life.

According to Apple Polishes Inc., the maker of the Apple Brand of leather care products (nothing to do with the makers of your iEverything!)…

“To retain its beauty and other desirable qualities, leather requires frequent conditioning to replace the natural lubricants lost during normal use. With the proper care, leather can be protected from excessive dryness that can cause it to crack, and from moisture that may cause it to swell or mildew.

Because unprotected leather is susceptible to spotting from water and other liquids, a newly purchased leather item should be treated immediately to help prevent permanent stains from occurring.

The use of too much oil and wax, however, can clog pores, causing leather to lose its ability to allow air in and moisture out.”

Which makes Apple Leather Care products the logical choice of course! Because their products are “free of waxes, oils, or additives, which interfere with the cleaning process.”

Hmmm, I think it’s time for me to get a cleaning kit ASAP!

There are a select group of women who have no qualms spending at least P20,000 for a pair of shoes by Christian Louboutin.

Sure, they claim that his heels are comfortable and that his designs are not only fabulous, they are simply sexy. But really, I think it’s all about the red soles that make them go and buy Louboutins. They know that the flash of red as they walk past by will solicit the admiring stares of people “in the know”.

So what happens when these red soles get all worn out? Arty’s Shoe Service in New York comes to the rescue, as Allure magazine tells its readers!

Re-soling those Louboutins costs $40, about the same amount for a new pair of shoes for those with a “practical” streak. But for the rarefied breed who value their red soles, it’s a small price to pay to keep their soul, I mean, sole pure.
