Melissa mania

okay, a lot of fun stuff happened over the weekend in singapore, but seeing as shoes are what float your boat... guess which style melissas i got?

none of the above below!

i went to two of the three stores in singapore that carry melissas (such purposeful shoe-shopping! haven't done that in a while!), and none of them had any of the styles i posted previously. BUT they have a whole bunch of really cute styles that aren't up on the melissa philippines site. plus a whole bunch of really old styles that are on sale.

i saw a bunch of cute heels from the love robot collection, but my size was out of stock. so i got these instead: the green indie heels with detachable straps. very cute. my trusty green peep-toe heels had just died the week before, so it was perfect.

they look gorgeous (my shoe idol fellow shoe freak, christine, went gaga at the sight of them yesterday) tho' breaking them in is a royal bitch. it's like wearing person-sized barbie shoes. and since i'm kind of in-between sizes and the plastic is slippery, i keep leaving them behind as i walk.

ah well. 'tis only the beginning... literally. i am now officially on the mailing list of novo, which is the singaporean store that carries these babies -- perfect for when i move there next year! by the way, i downloaded the above pic from the melissa australia site, and my eyes nearly popped out at all the styles available! and there's a karim rashid shoe! delikado 'to.

j, the scarfun wasn't as cute in person. it was rather too chunky for my taste. medyo suma-spice girls na yung level. (and while we know the eighties are back, the early nineties just give me the heebie-jeebies.) also they had it just in peach, and i'm not really a peach kind of girl.

ate, go to the novo stores in suntec and great world city! ngeps yung mga styles in ngee ann city/takashimaya.

in related news, i think i'll start wearing heels more often. kaya ko naman pala eh.
