Temptation

Last week, after watching a movie, my friend Ann and I decided to window shop for shoes. We found these patent peep toe pumps from People are People. Aren’t they gorge?!

 

I want to go back for them but I just bought a 2000php worth of heels that will be arriving in April pa plus I was planning on getting another Converse sneakers. HURHUR.

So I guess I’ll just have to be contented with taking my photos with them, non? But what do you think? Should I get them? They instantly pump up an otherwise boring ensemble. So yeah. WAAA. TEMPTED.

Shopaholic Strikes Again

I know I know I know. I NEED TO SAVE. I tell myself that a bajillion times a day already, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be able to appreciate (lust over and dream about) beauties like these patent peep toe pumps:

I’ve been thinking about getting black peep-toes for a while now, but with S/S 2010 looming over me, I’m forced to re-evaluate my options so I could keep up with the flirty and summery look. (and it’s not as if I can afford to buy at the moment so I’m shopping in my mind)

I already have overused pink patent flats so I’m thinking about either yellow or turquoise for some really eye-catching colors. (Read: turquoise is the official color of S/S 2010) The white is also really pretty and the red really bold – but I don’t think they’re for me.

These babies are on hand so if I could scrimp on my self-imposed allowance in the next few weeks, I think I have enough for these, yes? NO. I’m buying high-cut black Chuck Taylor’s (as inspired by Jack and Jil’s feature on Maya Villiger) so I have to SAVE SAVE SAVE.

And while we are in the subject of Maya Villiger, don’t you just love her shoes? I already have a pair of oxford booties, and some short boots (though in red, not black), so I’m looking out for (a) Black High Cut Chuck Taylors (b) Lace up wedge booties (I’m thinking about Forever21!) and (c) Classic black pumps (I might go with platform pumps if I can afford them already).

I’m such a sucker for timeless pieces. But I noticed I have too many dark colors in my wardrobe already that’s why I’m keeping my eye open on candy colored beauties such as these peep toe pumps. I’ll get the pumps next time hopefully. :’(

Heed Thy Words

While browsing through some online shoe shops in multiply, I came across great words from Christian Louboutin himself.

Don’t you just love him?!?! One of the things included in my MUST-DO-BEFORE-I-DIE list is to own at least a pair designer shoes from Louboutin, Blahnik, McQueen, and Choo’s among others. Actually, I want to own a closetful of designer clothing, bags, accessories, shoes and even linen! HAHA. But fashion has always been one of my ultimate weaknesses, especially shoes! I find it hard to resist a beautiful pair of shoes – never mind that they’re not designer because I have to work it on my meager budget, you know. kthxbye.

I Love Oxford Shoes!

I’ve been wanting to buy a pair of flat oxford shoes since the F/W 2009 season but I couldn’t find them anywhere.  I have the black oxford booties already though. And now I have found affordable flats, but damn it, I have to restrain myself and stick to my budget! This is just sheer AGONY. TORTURE!

These are from Steve Madden. If I buy it online, they’re Php3,680 each.

 

I love the black and white version because it’s really classic and trendy (ironic, right?) while I also heart the cognac pair because it’s very versatile! But they’re way too expensive for me right now.

I found a cheaper version, something from Qupid, for only Php1,550-Php1,680 depending on where I would purchase.

Except for the shoe laces, they look almost the same right? This would be perfect for cigarette pants/slacks for business casual looks, and shorts for a cross between casual and dressy ensembles, yes? Too bad they don’t have the cheap version in brown.

I’m really torn right now. I have to decide before Feb 1 (that’s the cut off dates for preordering) so that it’ll arrive in time for the Shanghai trip. So, a little help here? Should I buy or not?

Lace Pumps

I saw something similar to these Christian Louboutin Bouquet Platform Pumps in ze interwebs and ze SM Department Store lately. I was wondering if I should buy.

Just a background… this is Bergdorf Goodman’s product description of these Louboutin’s: Black floral lace over light pink satin. Peep-toe. Covered platform. 4 3/4" covered heel. Signature red sole. Made in Italy. And just so we’re clear, they cost a whopping $1,025.00 (roughly Php47,150). So as far as dreams go, this one is “up there”, you know? 

There are a lot of other Louboutin lace shoes out there, just google them and you’ll see.

So anyway, as for the cheaper versions:

Pair 1: I saw these pair of Tuxedo-inspired peep-toe lace pumps in GoJane. For local retailers in multiply, they sell these at Php1,880.

Pair 2: Last night, one of my frequented online stores posted this and sells them at Php1,000. I’m slowly running out of cash and I really want to buy these! What’s more, they only have a piece of the size 10, and I saw someone already inquiring for it. HOMG.

Pair 3: Oops. No photo for the 3rd pair. I saw it at SM Department Store while I was there this afternoon. It’s on sale at Php450 only! They look like the 2nd pair, but only peep-toe. And I believe it has shorter heels. I’m thinking of going back there tomorrow after work to mull things out, and decide whether I should buy them or not. HOMG HOMG HOMG.

I’m already thinking of outfits that I could pair this with. But hmmm… there’s nothing in my closet really. These are really dressy and it would be OVERKILL to pair them with the new black sheer dress I bought earlier. WAAA.

STOP ME. SAVE SAVE SAVE.
