nike air trainer III ("medicine ball")

I waited years for these to return (had a pair when I was a kid in 1988; they were my first ever nikes with air.... and they were actually called air trainer sc.... so I'm not sure if I get the name change, but whatever)....

Shopping spree...
- Landy blouse from DVF,
- Muse bowler bag in dove grey : the original muse is my first love, and my first branded bag. These day I am using more long strapped bag, so finding this bag is really like finding an old love)
- ferragamo vara woc in sapphire saffiano : my favourite wallet ever, never been without my black patent one. But since I usually throw it in my bag with keys, food etc, I always am afraid I will scratch the patent leather, hence when I saw this one in my seller's shop, I gotta have it as saffiano is quite scratch free. It is just too bad this model is unavailable in my country.

Couple vintage rings ... unlike anything I already have. (Lots of Victorian, rose gold, pearls, garnets.) I've been inspired to wear and layer more rings lately ... nice to do something different.

^Seems like your trip to London was fun!

Like the victorian vibe of your rings fashionista-ta, makes me think of lords and ladies, one of my favourite era.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Thanks, Nymphaea. These are a bit later I believe ... I think the dealers said 20s for the signet and 30s for the amethyst. I have my eye on another Victorian ring that is also different from everything else I already have. I have multiple cameos, multiple garnets, lots of pearls, so I'm trying not to duplicate ...

just made a purchase of some suede booties for a grand total of $35.70...
...

they are a knock off of a clergerie bootie i like and i have an old pair of 9 west that were a clergerie knock off and they turned out to be one of the most comfy prs of boots ever...
*funny how if the original is comfy, a good knock off will be comfy too!

chose suede cause i'm feeling that gypsy thing right now...
not sure until i see them but there is every chance that i will cut that elastic band right off...


got them 1/2 a size bigger so they will be easier to pull on and off and in case i need some cozy sox, etc...

amazon

the second pic is the clergerie...
it has a rounder toe and different heel...
the nine west is more true to vintage clergerie and i think i actually like it better...
according to reviews- they are both hard to put on and take off though...

 

[softgrey]

well- i shocked myself and it looks like i am keeping a pair of silver marsell ankle boots...
...

silver boots...
yep...
silver boots...

 

[softgrey]

yoox...

they are a really dark silver, in real life...
*they look a bit like tarnished sterling silver...
very soft and very narrow in the ankle...
really comfy cause of the round toe...

^ Metallics are so practical, they go with everything, and provide such a nice pop ...


Lanvin silk coat ... if I remember correctly, this is like a silk twill.

 

[runner]

yes nice boots and a nice coat above

think of silver as a kind of grey, a metallic one. an oxidizable grey. yohji, carol, even altieri did it. no problem. hope it will be worn a lot and look stained (oxidized) in a cool way.
it is made for captain.

thanks bunny...!!!
glad to know you approve...
*funny- but they do seem grey to me and then i had started thinking about grey suede boots and how nice that could be too...
it's all about the texture...
hmmmm...


yes, tata, they are everything you say...

light and bright, but because they are distressed, there is something dark there as well...
i'm slightly in awe of them...
it's like i've been hypnotized by the shiny shoes...
.........

ok- i feel better about them...
thanks guys~!!!



*ta-ta...hoarding lanvin already, i see...

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Yes, now I'm on a serious mission
