The reason

I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

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.



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!

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.

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 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)!

Sam Eldelman Yaro ankle-strap block-heel sandals 110mm in coral suede

I wanted some block heels with ankle straps so badly but they were harder to come by than I had imagined.  Either the color was not right, or the straps are not in the right width, or the heels were too low, too chunky.  Yes I am picky.  Stuart Weitzman have some good ones but I can't justify the price point and the not-so-comfortable fit for me.  So it was without hesitation when I came across these sandals by Sam Eldelman at 1/4 of the price.  The plan was to get the normal color, i.e. nude or black, but I could not resist this coral pink.  It's just so much more lively and summery it makes me so much happier.  I hope they will be as versatile as nude.   True to size.

Sophia Webster for J. Crew 100mm ankle strap sandals in white and green

These are so much fun! Love the color combination and the mixture of fabric and leather.  They even have hot pink soles! Perhaps others don't want fun and that's how they ended up in the outlet.  I have never had Sophia Webster shoes before and they don't feel entirely supportive and comfortable. Maybe it is a cheaper line collaborating with J. Crew? True to size.

Christian Louboutin Rivierina ankle straps 100mm in yellow and pink patent

I would not have tried these on normally but the sales person insisted.  And I had to thank him.  Love the color combination and how they look on my feet.  Very summery and modern and a great addition to a summer wardrobe.  Buy half size up.

Rupert Sanderson Nada pumps 80mm in mystic pink patent

I love the colour and I thought I would give them a try.  I have to say I am still unsure about super pointy shoes. They tend to make my feet look bigger than they are?  Buy half size up.

Melissa ballerina flats in pink plastic

My first pair of Melissa flats.  I looked at a number of them but to me they are rain shoes and I can't see the point of holes at the front like most Melissa flats have?  Anyway I am very happy with these shoes.  They don't rub and amazingly they don't seem to make my feet too sweaty either. Love the Melissa fragrance too.  Much cuter than Crocs.  Small to size.  Buy one size up.

Marc Jacobs peep-toe pumps 95mm in pink and black leather

I love love love these shoes.  They are so delicately made with so much details it's unlike the usual Marc Jacobs creations.  I can't tell you how soft the leather is.  Usually my toes get sore easily from peep-toe shoes but never with these.  A very special find.  True to size.

Chanel ankle straps 100mm in pink fabric and black patent

These look so cute and interesting I had to have them.  Love the assorted Chanel objects on the fabric.  The soles (where the heels are) are actually made of a hard resin-like material, and it gives a good balance visually with the busy looking front.   Sadly these shoes are still sitting in the box brand-new, as I have too many choices when it comes to pairing a little black dress.  And now I can't help to think maybe I am already too old for something so sweet and cute! Buy half size up.

Beatrix Ong crystal ankle straps 95mm in pink leather

I had to have these shoes when I saw them.  I love the way the crystals drape on foot, which has that Moulin Rouge feel to it.  They are still sitting in my closet brand-new as I have no idea what to wear them with.  True to size.

Nine West ankle wraps 90mm in pink/yellow fabric

Love the romantic soft pink, and the slightly transparent fabric adds to the whole feminine theme as well. True to size.

Kate Spade ankle straps 90mm in tri-color satin

When I saw them for the first time I was instantly in love. I did not care whether they'd go with my wardrobe. Well. They don't. I think I wore them once or twice in the 8 years I had them. And I have to say the fit is not very nice at all, with the front straps cutting into my feet. It's not serious to a point where it would draw blood but it's uncomfortable enough. How did they manage to make satin so hard? True to size.

Jimmy Choo ankle straps 110mm in pink leather

From the same collection as the green mule, but more supportive with the ankle straps. metallic pink can be challenging at times but the simple design makes up for versatility. True to size.
