Adidas Handball Spezial sneakers in black and white

I love how Chanel-esque these are: the black and white color scheme, the quilting, the slightly tapered shape, at a friction of Chanel prices. Take my money now!

Alexandre Birman Alana sling backs 100mm in black suede and silver

Another lovely creation by Alexandre Birman. The structure is solid and very steady, the leather straps extremely soft and supple. Love the shape of the heels which adds to the stability as well.

 

 

 

Chanel espadrilles in black, gold, and green

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

Chanel espadrilles in black and pink

Another Barbiecore shoes. Comfy fit and true to size.

 

 

Chanel Mary Janes in black and pink

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

 

Chanel pumps 85mm in black and white leather

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

Amina Muaddi Giorgia Crystal ankle straps 95mm in black suede and diamonds

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 wide for me though. Buy half size down.

Chanel ankle strap 85mm in black and beige leather with charms

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

Victoria Beckham ankle straps 100mm in black leather and gold chain

 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 not very steady. A big difference compared to Gianvito Rossi. 

Chanel combat boots in blue, white, black tweed

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 perfectly. They even have velvet laces! I get more use of these than my other stupid ankle boots with heels. Buy half size up.

Chanel espadrilles in black and gold tweed

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

Chanel espadrilles in black and beige lambskin

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

 

Rupert Sanderson Myril ankle straps 100mm in black python

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. There’s not a lot of support and my feet keep sliding forward as a result. Surprising as my other Rupert Sanderson shoes fit like gloves. True to size.

Christian Louboutin Jurassic sandals 100mm in black suede

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 support compared to pumps. True to size.

Valentino Rockstud flats in black leather

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

Rag & Bone ankle boots 90mm in black suede

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 up the dreadful winter wardrobe but ankle boots clearly are not the answer. Besides, I feel like we are permanently stuck in covid athleisure now. Sad. Buy one size up.

Valentino pumps 100mm in black suede

They are my winter favourites these days. Nice shape, great support and they go with everything from jeans to dresses. I even bought another pair in grey to try on but ended up returning them. Somehow the heels look too clunky in lighter shade. Shame. True to size.

Aquazzura Casablanca sandals 105mm in black suede

Strappy black sandals are back! I have been eyeing scrappy ankle wrap sandals for a while.  Could not bring myself to settle for Stuart Weitzman as they don't seem to fit me too well. And now I finally came across these with mega ankle straps.  It's worth the wait.  They look nice with short and longer length hemlines.  True to size.

Aquazzura Forever Marilyn pumps 85mm in black suede

A classic Aquazzura design, with new color, height, and material each and every season.  Im not a big tassels person but these seem cute.  Love the cut-out heels too. Even thought at 85mm the silhouette seems a lot taller.  The usual comfortable Aquazzura last and support.  True to size.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps 85mm in black patent

I am compromising - must be getting old! I do enjoy the 85mm comfort for day time wear.  They don't look as nice but my feet are grateful.  Pigalle could easily be the best-looking 85mm available so I shouldn't complain. Buy one size up.
