Spring Thing..

The snow is totally melting away and signs of spring are clearly showing up. Not only is it the right time to do some major spring cleaning, but also a good excuse to buy new clothes and shoes! Woot! I recently received this email about Uggs' latest spring line.

Here's the thing.. I'm not the biggest fan of Uggs (or anything that looks like them). But I know some of my friends swear to them especially when this city gets -40 temperatures in the winter time.

I have to give props though since with this season's line, they've tried adding cute colors, designs and details to these boots. Love them or hate them the famous (infamous?) Australian footwear is back with a new look this for Spring Summer.

them wedges..

so here's the deal.. some of you have requested a closer second look to these new wedges i got from zara and the good thing is i recently wore it with this outfit. so of course, i went on to take outfit photos!

outfit: vintage knit sweater, talula skirt c/o aritzia, zara wedges, payless tights

i wore it to work and my supervisor was asking me how i could walk on them.. to be honest, they're pretty sturdy, especially since they are wood wedges and there are hidden platforms in front of the shoe.

i have a bit of a concern though. i don't know if it's just me, but for some reason my right foot fits better than my left one with this pair. i read somewhere that technically speaking one foot is bigger than another so im guessing my left foot is the bigger one, eh?

i have even resorted to double checking if i got the same size for the left and right shoe, hahaha! so yeah, if you have any tips for me on how to easily loosen up the left shoe, i'd really appreciate it in the comments section.

How adorable are you?! and hasn't the weather been AMAZING, so glad you're soaking up the fall sun as well! xxx

aaahh yes.. the weather has been amazing indeed!! :D im loving this positive temperatures lately.. and the sun is just perfect after i get home from work to take outfit shots!!! oh and im glad that im having that extra hour to sleep this weekend (fyi: daylight savings time!!)

the current wishlist

i know i know i promised an outfit post, but the weather has been nothing but rain, wind and gloom. when i got back from work, i was soaking wet in my clothes so i really have nothing decent to show you. :(

since i wouldn't want the day to pass by without posting anything, i thought i'd share with you some of the things that are currently on my wishlist. i know november is just coming up and i just did some shopping when i was away last thanksgiving so this is more of an advanced christmas wish list perhaps? hahahaha!

satchel bag, big enough for work

bowler hat in this style

soft-fabric blouses/shirts in different colors

some wedges wouldn't hurt (NOTE: on sale!!!!)

image sources: aldo, topshop, polyvore, ebay, asos, zara

Sigh. I'm so sad about the snow. It snowed yesterday morning here. :( I am in love with your scarf!!!!

aaahhh!! i heard that snow fall over there!! aaahhh!! hopefully, it can wait until next week for us here so that we'll have decent weather for the halloween..

new wedges!!!!

remember my last haul post? i did mention that i got wedges from zara but for some reason, the site doesn't have a picture of it anymore. so today, i decided to take it for a spin and test it out (hahaha, i test my shoes out.. yeah, i know i'm a dork!)

all i can say is.. i love love love it!! i've been trying to look for a pair of camel/brown booties. i got a bit picky since i didn't like something lace up (i have a couple already of those); didn't like a suede finish to the fabric (since it's just so hard to maintain during rainy/snowy days); didn't want the length to cut off my calves (because that would just make me shorter); and of course wanted something on the more affordable-reasonable price.

it was a toss between this pair and something that i saw in aldo. i ended up getting this because i just like that there's a smaller chance that i would bump into someone here with the same pair (don't have zara in this city).

outfit: suzy shier jacket, bench tee, f21 jeans, celine bag, zara wedges

i know the pictures are not the best, but i'm definitely taking more outfit posts this week. plus, im posting a my way, her way feature this weekend so yay for bringing fashion posts back!

did the movie made you dizzy? I got sick with the first one after 20 minutes of watching,lol

yummy sushi!

the second paranormal activity movie didn't just because it had steadier cameras. the story made use of "built in" house cameras.

epic win, massive fail?

with the whole whirlwind of a weekend that i had, i haven't quite gotten around to uploading personal photos from the party i attended and the things that i've been doing but rest assured, i will get to blog on them once i get the time to collate my photos and stories.

in the mean time, i'm having this scheduled post for you to view, while i'm busy facing adulthood and working. hahaha! i received another one of those newsletters in my email from daniel footwear. apparently, they're featuring juicy couture right now in their site and i saw some of their pieces from the f/w collection.

what do you think, guys? i think juicy couture is one of those brands that you don't know whether to love or hate. sometimes, they do have nice and fancy accessories (like that bag down there!!!), but on the other hand some of the items i've seen from them before have been quite tacky.

“Juicy Couture Shoes: have a favorite pair? Let us know!”
so what do you think of this collection? epic win or massive fail?

uggs: yay or nay?

so just like everyone else in the fashion world, i'm not the biggest fan of uggs. although, i really can't blame it when people here in winnipeg wear it. we normally get -40 degree temperatures during the winter and ugg boots are too comfy and warm to pass up.

i was browsing through one of my usual side links there on your right and discovered through daniel footwear that uggs are getting fiercer with their new fall/winter 2010 collection hitting the UK. we’re seeing a lot more tussled fringes, bigger button details and a move away from the popular classic tall and classic short formats. perfect to pair with your rock leather jackets now that summer’s on the verge of leaving us.

i may not be able to handle the tall knitted ones below, but it came to me as a surprise that the brand is now offering a sneaker line. now i wouldn't mind rocking those..

Think you can handle the new Ugg Boots A/W 2010 collection yet?

shop JC for the cure!

aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! have you guys seen the newest Jeffrey Campbell shoes from their Fall/Winter collection!? i was browsing solestruck last night and found myself oooohhh-ing and aaahhh-ing at the new arrivals on the site. i still can't get over them. just look at those architectural wedges/heels/soles!!! aaahhh!!!

you see, i have enough black shoes to last me a whole season. whenever i go to the mall and look for shoes, i try to stay away from black pairs, just to keep my shoe collection more varied. but these babies are making me think twice. aaahhhh! im sure though that JC will come up of different fabrics, patterns and colors for these styles, i just have to be a bit more patient.

from top to bottom: brisbane, albierto, newmar, boot camp, oh yes, broome, christie, tasman

now, if you can design your own ideal JC shoe, why don't you try and join the contest chictopia is having right now. Jeffrey Campbell and Akira Chicago are collaborating to hold a contest where chictopians can share their designs for the next JC shoe. two winners get a chance to have a q&a session jeffrey campbell, get a pair of JC shoes and a pair of their winning design. more details can be found here.

this looks absolutely delish =] what I wanted to ask you was
1. Are you planning on going to the upcomming Chictopia summit?
2. I've searched in the Chictopia forums and now I'm wondering how does one become vip?

oh shucks, i wish i can go to the chictopia summit, but unfortunately i can't since i don't have a canadian passport yet (citizenship technicalities). as for being a vip, i believe either you get invited or you ask someone to accept your vip request.

currently obsessed with nude shoes

i know i'll be squeezing my account if i end up purchasing one of these babies. but seriously, i've been looking for the perfect pair of nude shoes and seeing that they're only $35 (with shipping), i'm so tempted to get them! aaahhh, i've been dreaming of this!

size 7 please?!

the pair with the bows and the low heels is just so darling and adorable! perfect for those girly looks i've been trying out lately. on the other hand, the dark taupe pair has that classic look with the unexpected sole/heel design.

around $26 each with a 25% discount (code: july425) going on in their site

jeffrey campbell can do no wrong. the black and gray versions of this pair are equally stunning, but don't you think that having it in this soft color creates a nice contrast with the edgy design!

pretty affordable for a JC pair

can anyone be an angel and send one of these pairs to me! hahaha! here's to hopeful wishing.. :)

That Joe concealer is the best!! It's all I use!

aaahh yes, isn't it amazing!? i love their cream-stick blush too!! their black liquid liner is a dupe for the mac one and they recently added nail polish in their beauty line!! i mean, pretty much, if you live in canada, joe fresh is pure amazingness! hahaha!
