SHOES!!

This is a passion or more like an obsession of mine. Shoes! I am not exactly tall , tall but yeah, most of my friends would nag me about wearing heels but I simply LOVE it!

However, with a toddler and another infant on the way, I had to give up my shoes! I opt for comfortable walking shoes, shoes I can run in and stay stable in.

Chanel features leather wooden clogs this Summer/Spring 2010 and I have to admit, I am a devoted fan because you just need to try them on to see how comfortable they are. Plus, there is such a casual chic, less pretentious look, like I am not trying too hard with spiky heels?

I got this wooden clogs from Funkis for Gorman, a local Melbourne brand.

The other pair is from NOVO, so called sporean brand, for less than 100! Trust me, melbourne shoes cost a bomb. Of coz, It;s not leather but most shoes like Nine west and etc, are man made material as well and the prices ranges more than 100 for sure.

Budgeting mothers like me need to be aware of buyer choices and learn to compare prices. Making less emotional purchases but more practical ones.

Can I walk in them, properly?

Can I manage two kids in them, without risking twisting my ankle?

It is OTT ( Over the top) but more of a casual relax look?

Can I actually afford them? ( being jobless )

Does it match with my current working wardrobe? No point buying things for special occasions because for mothers like me, it is rare and preciously few.

How often can I wear them? ( value for money calculations)

The other pair is really my indulgence, Fendi kitten heels with black crystals embellishments. Dun judge me yet, I got this when I was actually working in Macao and it was on sale, like 60% off.

I have not worn it yet and it;s like 3 years old!!

ridiculous right? But the pavement in Macao tears my heart out because I love the leather sole and would die if they scratch my beloved kitten heels.

Sentimental as I am, I tend to wear cheap shoes for bad occasions, whereby I dun drive and have to take public transport. So as to protect my darling shoes!

This is an ongoing fetish of mine.

My dream, as any girl would dream, is that walk in wardrobe, Mr Big Built for Carrie in SATC 1?

Gossssh...that would be such a delish world and I could like hang on there basically! and Be happy!

wouldn;t that be something?
