Charles and Keith Wedge Sandals and the Rest of My Birthday Loot

On my birthday weekend, I had a total of three attire changes. Hihihi. Aside from all the malling and walking around we did, we also spent time by the pool on Sunday morning and did other water-related activities so I had to wear something that's easy to take off, hence, this dress from one of my collections before.

The rest of our Sunday, I was dressed in a more stylish getup (puff sleeve blazer, faux fur Twinky boots, Givenchy handbag). As opposed to previous years when I'd buy a dozen pairs of shoes on my birthday, I am actually quite frugalicious this time around. Based on my experience, I never got to wear my lovely shoes (from Charles and Keith, People are People, Crocs, Manel's) as often as I had hoped so I told myself to stop hoarding once and for all and just buy what I need and really, really want.

Last month, I told you about this perfect pair of faux fur boots I got from Twinky and you'd be proud to know that I've already worn it at least 5 times! That's even more than the number of times I got to wear all those other two dozen shoes I bought before. Hehehe. A pat on my back is in order. 

Anyway, I also got myself early birthday presents late last month when I bought 3 pieces of puff sleeve blazers and this gorgeous pair of Charles and Keith strappy ankle wedge sandals.

Me and My Twinky Boots

It was sometime last week that I accompanied my sister to Alabang Town Center to look for a pair of Crocs slippers that she's been eyeing for sometime now. She found one for her girlfriend and bought a pair.  On our way out of the big mall, we passed by a window display of fashionable boots. I had no plans of buying but I thought there's no harm in trying out some and see if they fit.

When Peter and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Alba, it was a bit cold and drizzling outside. I thought of wearing something warm but comfy, cute and ladylike all at the same time. It must be my mood that day. I was feeling so much and I just couldn't decide what kind of look I want. So I just threw everything on my bed and picked out the ones I liked.

I Want Prada Shoes

I've been enjoying wearing my new pairs of shoes as of late. I like feeling pretty and tall in them, not to mention, comfortable too when I wear pumps and high heels. But being a girl, I can't help but check out some other shoes as well. One of my dreams is to be able to buy a pair of prada shoes. Oh my God! Just thinking about it already makes my heart beat so fast!

When we think of Prada, we usually think of wallets and bags. But did you know that they also have uber fabulous shoes of various designs as well? I scoured the internet for the best buys and these are the types that caught my eye:

People are People: My 6 New Pairs of Shoes

People are People is one of those stores I frequent when I want to buy shoes that really last. I have an old pair of beaded sandals from 2008 which I still use until now, plus my gladiator boots which I had since 2009 which I also still use until now. I bought these pairs of shoes from People are People and though the leather is man-made, they have proven to be very sturdy as compared to the 5 pairs of shoes I bought from Janilyn less than a year ago, which already have chips and cracks. So never again to Janilyn but always yes to People are People. ^_^

Check out my six new pairs of shoes:

Covered All Over...Or Not

As usual, whenever I go out to watch a gig or party with friends, the hardest part is figuring out what to wear. I'm not really the type to go with what's in or hot. I go with how I feel. If I feel good about wearing a particular attire, no matter what it may look like to others, then I just wear it.

I was supposed to don a sundress at the Brownman Revival gig... the type that makes me feel like I'm just at the beach. I was thinking about it for days but as soon as I wore it, it didn't feel right. Blame it to my baby fats. So I figured, I should wear something that will cover the bad parts. Until I get to lose some more weight, then that's the time I'm gonna wear my sundress. That evening, here's what I came up with. And thank God it was a bit rainy that night, my getup became quite appropriate for the weather. ^_^

I wore an A-line dress with low-cut neckline from 248; my ever reliable 10 year old Mango boots; my long-sleeved and tight fitting cardigan I got from;ukay-ukay; my feather headband from YRYS; and my gold necklace and pearl earrings I bought from a Muslim 5 years ago.

I think it looked alright. Peter liked it too. What do you think? ^_^
