these shoes are not designer ones, but they are made well with leather lining/sole.
the necklace is a 'heart with wings'. actually i have another 'heart with wings' necklace back ordered. it looks very different from this one. it is edgy, rough looking, much bigger. more of a statement....can't wait to see it in two weeks.
Hi Julia! Great buys! I esp. love the 2nd pair with 2-toned color and the little cut-out details. I also love to buy shoes from non-designers....can't always splurge everything on designer stuff, as not all designer stuff are great, right? I don't really like splurging on designer's clothes too like some other people (except for coats / nice cashmeres) because I strongly believe you can find more special clothes in either vintage stores or local small stores...hehe. Anyway, love your heart with wing necklace. It's a long necklace right? That reminds me, I have some necklaces and earrings with wing designs too....hmm...will model them next time on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your buys turn out great this time. Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Mia
thank you Mia. i totally agree with you, that we can't always splurge one designer shoes. 1, they are not always worth the hefty price tag; 2. the quality is not that much better. the shoes i got this time are all Italy made, leather all over. they are good enough for a lot of occasions. i would wear a pair of designer shoes to a special occasion for sure.
ReplyDeletei am not huge splurger on designer clothes myself. i have not gotten myself buying things like a chanel tweed jacket. another important reason is that i do have a budget. i dont want to spend unwisely.
you know you should take out all of your wings jewelry now. it is so popular now, since when Rihanna wore hers. a big CC Skye crystal angel wings necklace everywhere and multiple occasions...
I agree with you both here. Those two brands Cole hann and via spiga carries great shoes. These are my brands, they are affordable and well made.
ReplyDeleteJulia, talking about shoes I just got myself this shoes from ann taylor:

Got in a beige tone and I think they are very similar to the valentino bow shoes. Of course the price here is great plus got 40% off hehe.
Love all the shoes you got. Bravo. And necklace looks lovely too.
