Solestruck: Black Friday Haul

Hello!

As I've mentioned earlier if I did manage to score awesome buys from the Black Friday Sale, I'll be doing a post on it. And I did!

Almost every Black Friday, the one and only store I look out for is Solestruck. Undeniably they are the fairy-god mother of shoes. This round, it was an awesome buy of shoes at ridiculous prices! I got 2 pairs of Superga, 2 pairs of Y.R.U and 1 pair of Jeffrey Campbell.

First thing first, they all fit perfect. The greatest tip is to read the description and reviews. Down size or up size your shoe depending on it! I'm at size 9/ eur39. But for all of the above, I got them in size 8 (except JC size 8.5) And they all fit perfect!

Solestruck delivery is the best. The shoes came in less than 5 days! I've never received international parcel that fast before. And theirs wins hands down.

I've worn only the Jeffrey Campbell Audrey Spikes so far out of these. They did hurt and the back and at the sides of my feet. But the shoe is really a statement piece and is so flattering in photos! So I might just kill my feet again with these shoes.

Scroll down for the photos! Shoe-gasm anyone?

And, that's all folks!

Not long after, I collected my Nasty Gal parcel with 3 more pairs of shoes. *ineedtoburymyheadsomewhere

PVS 1st Anniversary: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Last Night was P.V.S 1st Anniversary! If you didn't already know, they are the store to go for your Jeffrey Campbell fix. They also stock New Balance, Dr Martens etc. Do check it out!

I was absolutely ecstatic to be there(!) If you know me, I love Jeffrey Campbell forever and ever and I can just go on. So yes, this is an event I have to NOT miss. I really love they put in a lot of effort in the pimping up the place. With lovely pinatas hanging at the tops, novelty chocolates, gorgeous adorable balloons, and also the gifts. One thing I like about this was seeing other people in their JCs too! I, myself hardly see anyone in them when I'm out. So I'm so glad to spot people in "crazy shoes". Whats not to love about those awesome kicks.

Here are photos from my camera! For more photos not up here, you can check my instagram above or look me up at @nsofina.

Wore my new Jeffrey Campbell Aubrey Spikes that arrived not long ago. Super fast delivery that I received it in 5days! Thanks Solestruck *blows kisses* Also, I've taken photos of my Black Friday shoe haul and will be up soon!

Black and Gold

Bought these pair of gorgeous baby last week! And finally took them out for a spin yesterday. Not sure if it's me, but I have this slight fear of wearing new shoes. I mean, I don't want to dirty them by wearing out? Okay really irrelevant.

So initially I wanted to the The Blonde Salad x Superga crochet sneakers. But I find them really flimsy, hence I got something else. I really love the gold studs on it! That's how I like my shoes, different.

I'll post photos from yesterday soon!
Gotta run! Meeting my girls and having a briefing for my Semis (:

Going thru' a crazy night is killing me. I don't know if it's you or if it's me.

One F* Summer

Lately I've been wearing more of black and white. But nothing stops me from a burst of colours like this neon yellow sheer socks. I adore it so much. It's an instant mood lifter I'm telling you.

So now, on to another topic that has been occupying my mind. How do you define beauty? Is it all about the superficial or is it about the heart. With the "trend" of plastic surgery taking over the whole world by storm, I find myself questioning what exactly makes one beautiful. Is it the perfect silicon body, or that manga eyes and ultra-sharp nose? With more and more clones out there, how do you compare. And how would you even compare if you are not one of those supposedly "gorgeous" one? 

While some thinks the idea of plastic surgery is taboo, what about makeup? Isn't makeup artificial as well? With so many tools out there to beautify one. One can change their looks 180 degrees.

So with that. Is there really a difference between plastic surgery and makeup? I don't see any difference. But yet I appreciate the natural features sans makeup. I see that as what makes us an individual. Something unique.

I guess there is no point going the extreme mile to make yourself more beautiful when there is always someone even more beautiful (superficially). Whatever it is, find your comfort zone where you are your only Queen. With surgery or without, with makeup or without. Whichever makes you happiest, do it.

Superga for The Blonde Salad

#SHOEWHORE.ALERT

_

I'm currently obsessed with the latest collaboration of Superga and The Blonde Salad. I'm a shoewhore but sneakers are usually not my ultimate must-have. However, this is a whole new world. This collection is just love at first sight. I love crochet and I love it especially on shoes. I have to get it soon! Available white, cream, baby pinks and blues. Get it locally at Rockstar by Soon Lee or Tangs.

Praying hard that the one I want will be available!

Shoe-Struck: Jeffrey Campbell Aubrey

I love my shoes and I love them high. Anyone close to me knows my obsession with Jeffrey Campbell. It has the most amazing shoes, I don't need no Christian Louboutins I'm telling you. So here I have my new Jeffrey Campbell Aubrey in Blue Mermaid from Solestruck. It really does have the sort of mermaid texture, I love it!

It feels amazing when I put it on. It is pretty sturdy especially with the ankle straps so it's pretty easy to walk in. Though I think Litas are the longest-lasting shoe for me still. I'm a size 9 for my JC Litas from Solestruck but I downsize for this to size 8. Make sure to try the shoes you are buying if you have a retail store that stocks JCs. Based on experience, some shoe's sizing varies.

I do love the patent black Aubrey that I saw when I was in Bangkok Villians. But it's not on site anymore! Okay till next time when I feature more shoes/ buy more shoes/ have shoe lust *o.m.g

Y.R.U Elevation

Some day back with my Y.R.U Elevation shoes. Adore it much! I want to own the camo-print ones as well. I ordered it via Solestruck one size too big because my size was out of stock and I'm dying to have it. Would have fit perfectly if I got it in the right size.

Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes.

Solestruck Madness

I'm obsess with shoes. Yes, I confess. Solestruck is like the heaven to my shoe-addiction. By far I've ordered 3 times with them and I love the shoes! Each time I just order more than before. The latest shipment consist of 6 pairs.

2 F Troupe, 1 YES, 2 Y.R.U, 1 Jeffrey Campbell.

I shall do a review on my shoes in the next few posts! So look out for it if you are intending to get any of these. Because ordering shoes online is a bit of a risky thing. You won't want shoes that fit too big.

Check out my new babies *sparkly eyes*

/ Oh yes, I've more shipments to come in. Yes, includes shoes.

Be Back Soon

Style Check: Paris Fashion Week

Keeping Warm In Style

Street style is my favourite fashion photography I would say. Nothing is more intriguing than wondering why is that ridiculous outfit so amazing. Some people overdoes it (You know, looking more like a clown than anything else) while others simply aces at pulling off show-stopping outfits. The above are pleasing to my eye. There's various styles of sweater outfits going on. I love the get-ups. Especially the first image. Pastel pinks and blues never looked so cool. It may be the big-ass shades or that beanie on her head or simply the way she carries her chained bag. There's something interesting about that girl.

And THAT belted gold thing? What is THAT. I mean woah, that is one crazy accessory. But well, it gets all the right attention.


Ps. Pointy heels are a must. The peach-pink Valentino shoe is amazing.

Candy Highs

Terry de Havilland

Shoes fit for Spring/Summer, This is it. With cobalt blues and bright citrus hues, these shoes are irresistible to my eyes. How lovely are they!? That aside, I think they cast a really gorgeous model with the perfect rock chick vibes. Perfect harmony with the shoes.

Mcdonald's Sister

Topshop cropped top, MDS side-flare shorts, Calvin Klein tote, Dr Martens black white brogues from Solestruck

This outfit particularly makes me feel like a geek. Brought out my Dr Martens brogues for the first time and as much as it hurt my foot, I do love it. My brother was warning me about having blisters on my feet and I thought I was prepared with 2 socks, but hell no. The price to pay for a durable shoe I guess.


Check out the pretty awesome happy feet.

// It's a rainy sunday now as I type this, perfect weather to snooze in.
