IRRESISTIBLE TEMPTATIONS pt.1

Went to SM’s Fashion Forum to see  the Jeffrey Campbell pairs for myself. I’m amazed at how everyone I see online are raving about this brand. When i saw the famous FOXYs and LITAS,  I was star strucked by their  awesomeness                                 ( I swear, para akong nakakita ng celebs!) but intimidated by their height.

                              

Good luck  if I can carry those. I know it’s gonna be the most impractical buy.That’s why I was so proud of myself for saying “Pass!” to those lovely pairs. (Besides, medyo di na sila age appropriate for me.) My proud moment did not last 5 minutes though for I saw the JC 99 Tie in one quiet corner.

I tried to ignore them but my conscience reminded me that it has all the qualities of my current shoe obsession: wedge, laces, height, leather…. shuuuucks!  I told the sales person that I needed time to think about it, if I come back then that means I really want it. Guess what? Never left the area. Went straight to the counter right after I tried them on. I’m a 9 and the last pair was an 8. I slipped my foot in and like Cinderella, the pair was a perfect fit    — MFEO! Ayun off to the counter… installment please! I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL.

Taralets CARMELLETTES

Discovered this brand from a shoe blog — Excshoesme. When I saw the shoes she was rocking, I knew I had to try on those pairs pronto! Immediately had an episode of the shopping itch upon seeing those photos and sacrificed my lunch break for a quick trip to Le Landmark. It was love at first sight.

The rest they say, is history.

                                                           

Carmellettes has been in the market since 1978. They have their own multiply site but I suggest you check out their shoes in the flesh for better appreciation. Stalls are located at select departments stores. Price range is at 1-2K.
