Cherry Red

These are my first pair of red-ish shoes.  And I so love them.  I pair them with anything but not too dark colours.



From what I read so far, you can wear demin shorts or maybe trousers with black jacket.  I suppose, anything that has no bold colours in it will do.

Comfy Shoes

The hunt is on.  With the number of shoes that I own, you may say that I own a pair that are really good for walking a long distance.  You know what I am talking about, right?  I am talking of a pair of shoes that are comfy for going away somewhere, doing tourist-y stuff.  A pair that have padded soles, not too high heels, something that will not rub on my toes.  But nah! Yes, I own flat shoes, yes I own padded soled shoes.  Yes, I own comfy shoes but most of them rub on my toes that I really feel after walking for a long time and distance.  Yes, I do own runners.  I do own sneakers but they are not what I meant.  I meant, stylish shoes.  I've done my research of which shoes to buy so far I have not found it.  I saw some at the chemist, you know those shoes?  I just have to try them on or keep on looking.

For comfort

Due to the size and shape of my feet, it is hard for me to choose and buy shoes. I have very slim but long-ish feet and for some reason the width is not proportion to the length. As evident, I have calluses on my toes which for the past month have been making it uncomfortable to wear closed shoes however soft and comfy they are. Well, I am not entirely blaming the size of my feet.. you'll have to factor in "vanity" for wearing slightly high-heeled pairs. I need excuses to spend money on shoes, so I thought as presents for Mcj's father's day.. I bought 3 pairs of sandals/open-toe shoes. And these are one of my favourites. And my famous last words, these will be the last pair for the year... not ever, that would be sacrilegious. :)

Hair-banging hair style

I had a haircut when we went to the Philippines. It is a bit short and it has been the shortest for almost 9 years. It's no use if you are hair-banging just like what some did in the air guitar festival - my hair just won't bang that way. Speaking of air guitar, what's your take on it? I see two things - I thought it silly and at the same time, I admire the people involved. To make something that big, is legendary. Do you think they still check out the Alfred Guitar Tablature even if they are playing air guitar? Regardless, this is inspirational and I hope many things such as this one will crop-up in the future.
Your Ideal Hairstyle is Sexy Waves
On a hair note, I can't wait for my hair to grow back. I miss it when it was long that I only have to wind it up my head and viola, instant hair do.

My favourite bag

Currently, this is my favourite bag. I bought this in the Philippines in our trip a few weeks ago.
This bag has only 1 zip pocket inside and two non-zips for phone and what not. What's I like about it is the material. It's not so structured but it can be if it contains the right stuff. The leather is very soft and supple. I also like the colour. I have another bag with the same colour combination that has now been related to my weekend grocery shopping bag. This new bag has become my going to work bag. I am very picky when it comes to buying bags - it has to have the "it" factor. I don't know what it is before I look for a bag that I like but I will know it once I see it. It's really hard - a lot of time is put into it just like buying industrial safety equipment. Oh maybe not imperative. In industrial equipment, it involves the safety of people and that above all else is what matters.

6 Shoes

In my recent retail therapy, I bought 6 pairs of shoes. I have yet to take photos of them. I really liked this shopping trip as I have time to contemplate what I want and need. I reckon, I bought what's needed in my work and casual wear. It's like buying cool Yamaha Guitars, it's all intent and purpose.
Rain Makes You Happy
You tend to move slowly, but you still get a lot done. You are steady.

You are down to earth and practical. You like to live an ordered and organized life.

You find it difficult to be comfortable, and you are often shocked by your surroundings.

You prefer to be around a wide variety of people. You believe that you learn a little something from everyone.

You find peace when you are alone. You know how to balance your emotions well.

Glam

Hey, she knows what she likes: The day before wearing Oscar de la Renta and Brian Atwood to the SAG Awards, the actress wears the same designers at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills.
As usual, I like her getup and look. She's always photograhed as an ordinary mum when taking her kids out but when it comes to red carpet events, she cleans up pretty nicely. Oh, the tabloids are littered by her family photos doing everyday things (one can have overnight prints from printingamerica.com if they want to with heaps and heaps).

Red Suede Boots

GWYNETH PALTROW'S SKINNIES "I'm forever on the hunt for the perfect distressed jeans. Who makes the ones Gwyneth is wearing?" – Ali The star's pair, $325 R13 jeans, fits all the requirements of worn-in denim: whiskers in the right places, a cool, washed-out blue shade and fading at the knees. We're sold.
Although, the feature in this photo is the jeans..the shoes attracted my attention the most. I'd love to own a pair but then I would wonder if I can pull it off. Maybe, if I can find them in wholesale yard signs - in the sale itself, I'll buy the just to say I own a pair of red boots. :)

Not a Pair

You Are Flat Sandals
Casual yet flirty
You look great in a simple top and jeans
Your look is approachable and cute!
This is funny because I don't really own a pair of flat sandals. I am so used to wearing heels that if I wear flats, I feel like falling backwards. Most of my shoes have a bit of heels even at least half an inch. My heels are not really that high that would need dowel pins incase I trip and broke them.
