It’s my favourite blogger, Mervie’s birthday tomorrow! Go wish him Happy Burfday, OK?
I am not obsessed with shoes. In fact, I’ve never had any more than three pairs of perfectly-functional shoes at any one time. And as simplistic as it sounds, I need only three pairs — a pair of BATA slippers, a pair of open-toed sandals and a pair of leather shoes — and I’m good to go. Anywhere 
But when I went shopping recently — was it during Chinese New Year? I can’t remember — I spotted this pair of Carlo Rino heels and I was literally *staring* at it. I mean, it was expensive alright, and though it was on sale I couldn’t bring myself to buying such as expensive pair of heels (when I was younger, I cried when my aunt insisted on buying me a pair of sport shoes!).
So anyway, Mum noticed that I was eyeing this pair of heels and came over to tell me that it was OK to buy it. I mean, she agreed that it was beautiful, and that I could buy it if I wanted to since I very seldom buy anything expensive for myself 
So I did!
Check out the elaborate heels (by my standards)! I think it’s about, what, 3 inches high? And I don’t normally buy heels higher than an inch because I think I’m tall enough, and I don’t need to be reminded that I’m tall. And trust me, being tall does NOTHING except making me look thinner than I already am, and I hate comments that “You are too thin” thrown at me. Ouh well, this will be for another day

Wow, haven’t stopped by here for ages! Nice shoes! Not really my personal style but I just bought a pair of shoes for myself (and blogged about it too :P), something I wouldn’t usually do either, so snap for that!
Awesome shoes! I love the colours and patterns, really stunning without being ‘in your face’. You have great taste my friend.
The most expensive shoes I’ve ever bought are a bronze-y gold with a golden snake running down each of them. My mom also took a look then said it was okay to get them, except she then bought herself the same ones in black. :p
Those shoes are fabulous! I love them.
Kat: I think you like something simple and elegant, don’t you??
Becca: Though we’ve already grown up, it’s surprising that we still yearn for Mum’s “approval” for getting something expensive!
Daisy: Thank you
Gosh … I have 3 pairs of shoes as well … casual, sports and work.
Oh - what gorgeous shoes!! I don’t “dress up” very often but would love something like these for a special occasion.
Happy Weekend!
I like this pair of shoes! Very nice for the hunt!
Whoa! Those shoes are gorgeous. I would definitely wear them.
What an intricate design. Great photo for the hunt.
Woot! Those ARE beautiful shoes.
moz: Give me five!
pat: Yeah, I don’t dress up often, but it’s good to know that there’s something nice whenever I needed it
Great shoes - and you did deserve them…
Very intricate detail..Oh yes, I remembered BATA..My mom’s favourite shop to get my shoes when i’m young….These days depends on the design, I’ll grab some too…:))
Have a good weekend!

Those are nice shoes! My human mom doesn’t own any heels because she has super-wide feet and shoe manufacturers just don’t make heels in 2E width!
Desert Diva: Thanks
Pearl: BATA shoes aren’t that bad in quality you know.. For the price we pay, they’re actually quite worth it
Dragonheart: Aww.. I understand how your human mom must feel..
