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!

Adidas VL Court 3.0 sneakers in green

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.

Jimmy Choo Antibes sneakers in pink

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

Jimmy Choo Rome sneakers in brown

 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.

Adidas sneakers in pink

 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 a lot more versatile than I thought. They go with quite a lot of things!

Chanel sneakers in green

Would not have picked green usually but since it was off season and there were only burgundy and green left. Surprisingly green goes really well with everything. It’s a vibe! They are very soft and comfortable, especially when compared to the beige pair I have. And the darker color makes it less stressful for scuffs etc. I bought half size up as per usual for trainers fitting.

Chanel sneakers in beige

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

Balmain sneakers in white and gold

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 my jeans should cover most of the shoes anyway so why not. They seem comfortable, buy one size up however as they run small to size.

 

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 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.

 

Valentino sneakers in white and gold

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

Adidas Kermit the Frog Stan Smith sneakers in white and green

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 comfortable. My feet and legs were still dying but no way as bad as my companion’s feet (she had chanel sneakers). 

Valentino Rockstud ankle strap flats in pink leather

 More from the Rockstud collection. Was a bit unsure about the many straps (gladiator sandals not really my thing) but I think the lighter colour make the straps stand out less, or so I hope. 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.

Dubarry chelsea riding boots in brown leather

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 them to do some actual riding. Got my moneys worth. :) True to size.

Emporio Armani ankle strap flats in blue satin

Revisiting Armani in general. I remember feeling quite sophisticated wearing my first Armani jacket fresh out of uni. :) Then somehow I steered away from the brand until recently. Maybe I’m finally old enough to wear the stuff. Anyway. Saw these shoes while buying jackets. They were on sale so it was a no brainier. Love the velcro arrangement. True to size.

Valentino sneakers in white and baby pink

My first pair of designer sneakers....they don't feel any more comfortable than Adidas, but they feel quite luxurious. And they look a lot less scruffy then my usual sneakers.  I prefer white "hidden" studs as suppose to metal ones.  Less is more!  True to size (surprisingly)!
