Confessions of a shoe slut: If the shoe fits....




Ok... There were requests for these babies to be posted...

Apologies for shoddy camera job, am still trying to work out lighting and angles... I'm not sure you can see them, but the heel are triangular in shape, and sky high.

I ran up stairs with them (had to catch my connecting train), and I don't recommend doing that! When I boarded the train... I gave some poor old granny a heart attack...
Here I was, on a Saturday night a suddenly very tall demurish-looking Asian thing, with not a scrap of skin showing... who was wearing
hooker shoes and in RED ...She seemed so confused...

and yes, those are thick sexy granny wool tights I am wearing in the pictures. Have you ANY idea how cold it is here right now? Ice formed in my backyard overnight.

well... that was quick...

Remember how I said I would not be buying anything until I bought my bag... *er* *ahem* Done.

My sweet, sweet mother has come out in support of my thesis writing throes, by tracking down for me the Marc by Marc Jacobs DrQ Colorblock Hillier (see bag post. It's the red bag) in KL, when my ebay stalking came out fruitless. My aunt was doubtful it was the correct bag I was lusting after "but your daughter HATES pink!"

It has a smidgen of pink, I'll admit, but it's mostly luscious luscious, colour-saturated maroon red... patent scarlet leather goodness...

Again, will post pictures when bag appears at my doorstep. And NO MORE acquisitions for me for a v.long time! I have to recover from paying for the bag, and the shoes below (which incidentally go well together).

I hate writing my thesis... All this thinking, and reasoning, and "intellectualising" It makes me an even bigger shopping fiend that usual :(

*dammit* I bought shoes AGAIN, instead of bag...

*wail* I had earmarked my ebay refund money to buy myself a bag, but then I found these little babies... alessandro dell'acqua from 740 knocked down to 240. I HAD to have them.

I don't care that it is too cold right now to wear them, or that they are pale coloured, and are fiendish dirt-magnets. Bottom line, they are beautiful and I will love them forever. Will take better pictures once I have them for real in my greedy little hands.

I cannot wait for summer to wear them; perfect 'formal' sandals too... if there was ever such a thing. Have two months to plan/acquire outfits worth of their strappy-goodness. :D

I swear... I will buy nothing else, until I finally get my bag:D

A little ringing~~


My newest ring!
This is the 5th ring I made so far, not the funkiest one of all, but has enough edge to be called unconventional and still had some sort of classy feel to it that didnt cry extravagant to be worn to the office.

My little brown bag


I was deciding between a Radley or Tula but the Tula ultimately won my heart.

I simply love it, small and cute! I've adorned it with my handmade turquoise flower which really stands out on its dark brown leather.

ebay hate

I think I have just received a fake Miu Miu handbag. Am so CUT.
Trying to get money back. Broke all my own personal never ever but designer handbags from ebay rule.

This is what writing a thesis and procrastination does to you. :(

Ebay love...

*hehehe*
Er.. I was going to post this after I receive them off ebay, but I couldn't wait, plus I can never quite get good photos of shiny jewelery. Have realised that I have not bought jeweley in years and years.. and am suddenly hankering for more. Long necklaces are on the list (after my *er* 'no shopping for 4 weeks' passes).

I love all things art deco, so the black and green ones are delish. And vintage. And a bargain... I cannot wait to get them.

If only we could combine our shoe collections...


Mon dieu! Well how about that. I wore mine with charcoal grey tights, black shorts, oversized gold heart necklace and this top:

I like our little blog universe - populate people populate!

ME TOO also known as Serendipity II (see post below)

I have the same pair Jade! Aren't they HOT??? Now I don't have to post pics of mine!!! I snagged them on my last day in KL. They are nowhere to be seen in Melb, so mine are kinda cool one-offs :D

I wear mine with skinny jeans, white diaphanous silk tunic with pleated puffy sleeves and elbow length leather gloves.
And have also paired with tights and DvF wraparound dress that is dangerously floaty (anything more than a gentle breeze makes me nervous).

Serendipity...

My latest indulgence ladies....I had my heart set on booties but it did a double flip flop when I chanced upon these little puppies. They will make their debut at dinner tonight.
