My Baby Found Its Way Home

The Lanvin shoes I ordered online from Luisa Via Roma finally arrived earlier this week with no delays/taxes/etc. Strange eh? I’m starting to think Filipino
customs pick their prey randomly from a hat. In any case, I’m so happy! I love these blue boxes of love. 

Good thing I bought this a few weeks ago when the euro-to-dollar (€322 = US$439 including shipping)
exchange rate was good. Have you been keeping track of the exchange
rates lately? It’s insane!!!! No wonder Barney’s or Aloharag charge around $650 for the same pair. Yikes.

Vogue Shoe Closet.

This shoe closet belongs to one of my favourite Vogue staffers. Can you guess who?

Oh and if you answered Julia Restoin-Roitfeld on last week’s poll, you got it right!

No cheating, mmkay? I want you to trust your instinct.
(When I say cheating, I meant no looking it up on internet sites for the answers…)

You can look it up I guess but only after you cast your vote.

Sorry to see you go…

After two weeks of painfully dealing (or should I say ‘negotiating’) with the worst customs in the whole world (they refuse to budge and insisted on charging an arm and a leg in duties and taxes… for a pair of shoes!!), the Lanvin sneakers I bought finally arrived. 

But alas, they are the wrong size.

What a beautiful pair of sneakers… I saw the knock-off version at Zara a few weeks ago and it pales in comparison to the real deal.  Now I’m gonna have to send them back and wait for another pair to be sent to me. I’m soo sad. I honestly feel like I’m parting away with a child!

It’s alright. At least it gives me time to find black grosgrain ribbon to use as shoelaces.

Canal Street Air Force One

What is it with everyone doing “designer” mash-ups these days? Remember those Slow & Steady Wins the Race hybrid bags? Well, ladies and gays, meet the ultimate in men’s sneakers: SoleFood’s custom sneakers named “Canal Street Air Force One”. How many brands can you spot in one photo? I spy with my Fendi Spy… Rolex, Chanel, Nike, Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

This has got to be the worst pair of sneakers on the face of the planet.

How does it make you feel? I betchu five dolla Rick Ross owns a pair.

I’m sure you’ve already seen those stunning shoes at Nina Ricci fall/winter 2009.

Those shoes are definitely stunning but tbh, they’re not THAT new. Olivier Theyskens I’m calling you out! Just kidding.

Shoewawa

So much for "limited edition". Haha! Just kidding. Jorge sent me a photo of this adorable kid from Barcelona wearing the same shoes. Kids these days eh? Gosh!

According to Jed, Kanye West owns a pair, too. Here's Kanye with Jeremy Scott.

Meanwhile, I bought another pair last week and it should be on its way to me. No more shopping for me, I think. Not for a lonnnnng time. I need to save!!
