 I saw a lovely green version with Mary Jane straps and slightly lower heels in the shop a while ago. Wasn’t sure how wearable Mary Jane wou...

I love how Chanel-esque these are: the black and white color scheme, the quilting, the slightly tapered shape, at a friction of Chanel price...

Impulse buy while in UK shoe shopping with my girls. I actually do like green and one can never have too many pairs of sneakers right.

Got these in a sale. Seems like my collection of pink shoes are expanding. Love the Pearl eyelet details. Buy one size up.

 I was never going to buy shoes from Zara again after a few pairs of very uncomfortable mistakes but I couldn’t walk away from these. Love t...

 The official color is caramel. Not really a brown-shoe person usually but I thought these would work well in the winter. Buy one size up.

 My dad encouraged me to get this darker shade of pink as supposed to the pale ones with blue stripes. I think it was a wise call. They are ...

Another lovely creation by Alexandre Birman. The structure is solid and very steady, the leather straps extremely soft and supple. Love the ...

Would not have picked green usually but since it was off season and there were only burgundy and green left. Surprisingly green goes really ...

More comfortable shoes. It must be age. Like the simplistic design and clean lines. Small to size, buy one size up.

Thought I would give these a try as they were on mega sale. They are plain in Balmain’s standard, but still a little flashy tbh. I figured m...

 Love the colour combinations and texture, and ether fabric seems a lot softer than the black tweed (hence a lot more comfortable). True to...

Another Barbiecore shoes. Comfy fit and true to size.    

Barbiecore Mary Janes. Wanted the high heels version but they didn’t stock them here. Buy half size up.  

I feel like I have come a full circle with these strappy heels. They reminded me a couple of my also very strappy Gucci heels I had many moo...

A little higher than my usual 100mm, I hope these would be comfortable. The fit and support seem promising when I try them on around the hou...

 Classic Chanel design, simple and effective. Goes with many things. Buy half size up.

One of the most beautiful shoes I have seen. My first pair of Amina Muaddi. The bling is out of this world. The footbeds are slightly too wi...

The most beautiful shoes by Chanel so far. Love the noises the charms make while I walk. Reminds me of Christmas somehow. :) Comfortable hei...

 My first pair of V Beckham shoes. Loving the design with gold chains. Sadly the fit is not ideal. Arch support is not great and they are no...

Decided I would join the combat boot brigade (see what I did here lol) but wanted something a bit more feminine. These fit the bill perfectl...

Love love love the colour and iridescent effect. The fit is perfect as well. It makes walking in 100mm possible. Have to say Gianvito Rossi ...

Another pair of espadrilles for winter colors. Works when we have warm winters in Hong Kong. Buy half size up with tweed.

My first pair of espadrille flats. Neutral colours which go with almost everything. I am still feeling quite meh when it comes to flats. Tru...

I like my first pair of Valentino sneakers so much I am getting a second pair in different colour.

Of course I need these. Yay Kermie! Added review Nov 2024: wore these at a 30k -step-a-day Osaka trip and they proved to be extremely comfor...

I considered these for a while as I was unsure about exotics. I caved finally and am annoyed to find that they are not even comfortable. The...

Could not walk away from them so here we are. Love how tapered they make my feet look. The straps make a lot of difference in terms of suppo...

 More from the Rockstud collection. Was a bit unsure about the many straps (gladiator sandals not really my thing) but I think the lighter c...

 Something easy for the summer to go with covid casual. Buy half size down for snug fit.

I bought these to wear around the country side, and perhaps the odd drop off to the riding stables. My daughter actually ended up borrowing ...

Note to self: stop buying ankle boots! These must have sat in the cabinet brand new for over 2 years. I think part of me always want to glam...

They are my winter favourites these days. Nice shape, great support and they go with everything from jeans to dresses. I even bought another...

 Are these espadrilles? Or ballet flats? Either way they are pretty cute with the ankle ties. Buy half size up.

Revisiting Armani in general. I remember feeling quite sophisticated wearing my first Armani jacket fresh out of uni. :) Then somehow I stee...

 Channeling the Gate bag design, these are comfortable and versatile. Can’t fault them. True to size.

 My second pair of Beckham shoes. At 85mm the lack of arch support isn’t too noticeable. Buy half size up.

Strappy black sandals are back! I have been eyeing scrappy ankle wrap sandals for a while.  Could not bring myself to settle for Stuart Wei...

Another pair of Pigalle. The multi-color orange print is actually more difficult to pair than I thought.  Jeans or black i think. :-) Offic...

My second pair of Iriza, this time in a cool silvery metallic blue.  Official color is Everest Metal - sounds much better than my descripti...

My attempt to have shoes at a more friendly height so I can wear them all day and night. However it's not happening with these shoes.  ...

My first pair of designer sneakers....they don't feel any more comfortable than Adidas, but they feel quite luxurious. And they look a ...

A classic Aquazzura design, with new color, height, and material each and every season.  Im not a big tassels person but these seem cute.  ...

Another purchase in the sale.  I probably do not need another pair of fuchsia shoes but I was captivated by the retro lines and design.  Th...

It's been a while since the last time I bought Ferragamo shoes.  I had a couple pairs of ballerinas during my pregnancies and got so si...
