heel pull

I always think shoes with a heel pull or heel tap or whatever you call it is gorgeous. It is something small yet could add so much aesthetic values to the shoes. We shall never underestimate the power of this little piece of thing.

marc jacobs neoprene lace up

This Marc Jacobs' s unconventional laceless moccasins comes with a layer of neoprene shoe sock inside. It shall make the shoes very comfortable to put on. I am quite resistant to wear lace-ups as I find them too serious for my daily need, but this  one actually fits all my search criteria for my perfect pair of not-so-serious lace-up shoes. Now available at TheCorner at EUR370. I know that they come in maroon and black versions as well, but I want to wait further to see if there are other colors such as my favorite blue.

red hot ss2011

I have many friends who only buy black or white shoes. I asked them why, and the reason they gave me was the convenience of matching. Well, I cannot deny that black or white shoes are easy to match but after a while I do find them boring. I take public transport such as bus and train quite frequently and I observe that most local so-called fashionistas just know how to dress up in black or white shoes, with the former prevailing. Pretty saddening isn't it? I do not really believe in the so-called "convenience", or rather black color perceived as the "cool thing". I think it is good to have a pair of black shoes, at least, but it is not the end of everything. Sometimes I saw some friends in total black and I would tease them "Who's funeral today?"

I am a color person. In my shoe collections, I do not have more than five pairs of black shoes. My favorite color is gold and blue, and now my love for red is multiplying. Look at these red offerings from Marc Jacobs, Raf Simons and D&G for SS2011, aren't they interesting and alluring? I want them all!
