Some people suggested me to post less about the products out there in the market, and more towards what I got in my own wardrobe.Coz they said I live a glamorous life - with all the shoes, the bags, the accessories, the clothes and all the stuff... it's much worth to write it in here than be ignored. I dunno about the 'glamorous' life - but my collection itself is truly something that people has been talked about a lot. Just the other day, my niece stepped into my 'walk-in wardrobe' and say: I feel like going into a warehouse! Lol. Can't argue with that!
So, first up I think I put up my shoes collection that I've been having for the past 4 four years. How many? Unofficially it's about 4 boxes. But officially I think it probably could go up to 6 - 7 boxes, coz some are on the shoe rack, some is still in their own boxes in my wardrobe. But one thing for sure: it's PLENTY. Like what my friend used to say, you could rival Imelda Marcos, Zamri!
I actually dunno how many of them anymore coz to made a 'headcount' it's quite an effort. Last November there's one pakcik who came into the house to fix the wiring of my living room. He saw the shoes on the rack, by which that time I put a lot of them unlike in the pix below. He then said, I think these could worth RM10 k! RM10k?? I think it's more than that, pakcik! Why? Coz cost of one of my designer shoe like Gucci is almost £200 a pair. And I got plenty... the value probably shoots up to more than RM20k!! Fuyoooo! I just can't believe it myself! That didn't include other highstreet brands which is humungous! Where did I get all the money?? I dunno... ngggg..
Anyway, for the first installation of 'Wreck Open My Wardrobe'... these are some of my shoe collection. (Ok fine, I got plenty of blacks. It's the easiest to pair with anything!)
in 'unofficially' 3 boxes + 1 Ikea carry bag.
some already been on the shoe rack...
... some still in their boxes in the wardrobe..
...and more...
...and more, where most of them are designer brands...
...like Jimmy Choo (though it's for H&M)..
... and Hugo Boss suede desert shoe (still unworn!)..
... patent leather D&G...
...or another patent leather - Fendi boots!...
...some Prada...
...some Armani (Emporio)...
... lots more Armani (this time Giorgio)...
And the best investment is my Gucci collection, where I got just about 6 pairs. Not too bad. When buying Gucci I tend to go for their loafers or slip-ons or mocassin, coz that's what they're famous for. And also their boots. As for loafers, I always stick to their signature...
...either the signature classic Gucci 'horsebit' buckle..
... or the modern version horsebit...
..or tassle...
...and even the monk strap loafers.
Oh, the must-haves: plimsols!
As well as some boat shoes.
More patent leather...
...and some nudes!
When it comes to choosing footwear, I think I've come a long way. There has been a huge change in the type of shoes that I've chosen. If before going to London (and live there for almost 5 years!), I normally choose the square-end toe. Now I think anything square toe is utterly hideous. Ugly. Should be burned! In fact when I went to any shoe store in this country, there're all been awashed with this pattern. OMG... these people really need a shoe fairy like me!
Yet, living in London has opened up my view on various selection of footwear. The best part - they're all pointy toes which make me appear much slimmer and more chic. It give more elongation to the legs. In fact I truly believe that this type of shoes is what everyone should wear. You wanna appear sleeker? Then pointy toe (or at least almond toe) is the only choice...
Next time: I'll show my bags collection. :)
my choice pre-London (in my Lewre slip-ons)...
..during and post-London (in Gucci horsebit mocassin).
