Shoes

“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.” (Jack Handey)

I need a new shoe

Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone!

Lovely day so far and I hope where ever you are, you are also experiencing a bright and sunny day just like me here. I'm so thankful because my washing this morning will be dried nicely, insyaallah. And I don't know how long the weather will stay like this, so better be thankful for the current condition.

Ok, back to the topic. Yesterday afternoon I use my lunch hour break to visit a shoe store nearby. I am in really need of a new shoe. A shoe which is practical for going to work and can withstand my heavy walking. The current one that I'm still using is starting to wear out and loosening which also result in an ache under my feet.

My old shoe when it was still new.

Well, that store have lots of good looking shoes and a few did captured my eyes but they just couldn't match the comfortability of the old one. Hmm... I do have my ankle boots but I just couldn't wear it everyday especially when I have to take if off when I want to enter the Library. It's our custom to take off our shoes to enter the building. So, like I said, I need a practical one.

I'm really tempted to buy shoes online especially when I just discovered ChristyNg.com but they don't have the kind of practical shoes like the one above. Or... should I just visit Rorine Store? Maybe they have new designs which are more comfortable? But... I don't have that much time to spare to go there. This is a dilemma and I'm afraid the one that I'm wearing is going to lost it's sole soon.

Maybe I need to persuade dear husband to go to Parkson this afternoon after work. Hehe... who knows he might buy a pair for me.

This one looks great but would it be comfortable?

I lost my pretty shoes

Assalamualaikum dear friends,

Has anyone seen this shoes?

It was a gift from my older sister and I love it so much. I've been searching for this blue pair of shoes since July after I move into my new house. Usually all the shoes were kept inside their own boxes but this one cannot be found anywhere.

I wish I know where I put it. 

I loike and I bought.

Bought at Vincci two days ago. Love at first sight.

A new purse to match my handbag. This was bought last month during a sale at one of the shoes & bags boutique inside Kota Sri Mutiara Shopping Complex.

Both will not be used until Eid. That's a promise I made with my own self.

I bought them at 50% discount.

Shoe Festival in KL

Oh, I wish I could go.

Shoes with love heels

I remember not long ago, a friend asked me about this kind of shoes. Shoes that have a unique heels like the one above. I told her that I've never seen one before until just now. Wonder whether it's the correct one. Hopefully yes.

Shoes are something very dear to me just like my abayat. But this kind of shoes with unique heels are something I've never tried before. I love simple kind of shoes with normal heels.

I really hope that friend would read this post although it's long overdue.

Dear friend, if you happen to read this and still looking for this kind of shoes, please visit this blogshop, Orange Little for more details on the shoes.

And thank you to bubbly for the link.

Why I like wedges

Wedges - What to Wear with Wedge Heeled Shoes

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Ranging from casual to elegant, wedges come in all styles and heights.

While wedge heels are an extremely fashionable and versatile choice in women's footwear, they won't look great on everyone, or with every outfit -- and like any shoe style, they have their pros and cons.

What Exactly is a Wedge Heel?

On most shoes, the "heel" sits under only the heel of the foot, but a wedge heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front.

As you've probably guessed, it has a wedge shape, but not all wedges are high heels. In fact, wedge heels range from low to high, it's the shape and the length of the heel that classify it as a wedge.

Advantages of Wedge Heels:

* These shoes add height, but are easier to walk in than stilettos.
* Wedges have a very cosmopolitan look to them - they're worldly and sophisticated.
* A wedge heel looks great with nearly any length skirt or dress.
* Wedge heels, by nature, are a fashionable choice - by just choosing to wear them, you up your fashion quotient.
* Wedges will add definition and shape to heavy ankles, making them appear thinner.

Cons of Wedges:

* Wedge heels are still heels, with all their pitfalls. Don't be fooled into thinking you can run a marathon in them.
* Wedges can look a little clunky, especially when paired with very tight-fitting clothing.
* This style tends to seem a bit on the casual side. While there are dressier styles of wedges, finding a truly elegant one can be a bit difficult.
* A thick wedge heel will make really skinny ankles appear even thinner.

Hot with:

* Abaya
* Flowing skirts
* Bohemian styles
* Thin, gauzy fabrics
* Wrap dresses
* Wide or flared jeans or pants
* Gauchos

Not with:

* Pencil skirts
* Capris
* Pants with narrow or straight legs

Does anyone here love wedges?

I wear wedges almost everyday to work and everywhere else.

This (left pic) is my favourite wedges from Bata. Just RM59.99 but it's very comfortable and very kind to my feet.

I think the heel is 3" high. Not that high isn't it?

I prefer wedges because it gives me more height for my petite nature and makes me feel more confident when I'm walking.

What about you?

We Love Shoes

Me and my sister are very influenced by beautiful and cute shoes with a little heels.

Yesterday she asked me for a lift since my BIL will only finish work around 6.30pm and going to be late to fetch her from the hospital.

And when sisters met, just imagine what will happen. She said she' s in desperate need of a new shoe because the one that I've got for her a month ago already broken. Oh, my.

So... since there is a new shopping complex in front of the Hospital, I just suggest that we headed there because I think I've seen quite a nice collection of branded shoes there.

Off we go...

And... look what we have...

OMG! I love this shoe. The same pattern has 3 different colours, light grey, light brown and black. I fell in love with the one above and also this one:

But the first priority goes to my sister. Remember, she's the one looking for a new shoes and I'm not. I tried both colours. Luckily the store has the smallest size for us. Yes, our feet are really small. It's always size 4 for 6 girls in my family. At last we bought both, one for me and the other for her.

Which one do you think is mine?

But my sister still wants to buy another pair of shoes. Yeah... it's okay with me and I think it's relevant because she would have to stand on her most of the time during her lecture and also when she's in the clinic.

She end up buying this wedges which I suggested to her. I like this one too. She already wear this one today.

Well, before we saw those shoes above, my sister actually saw this pretty one. After trying for size, she wanted to buy it but sadly the only size 4 left has a bit of defect on it. Not worth it!

While she's trying the yellow one, I am playing around with the black and the blue one. What a lovely shoe. Wedges kind of shoes are very nice for our feet.

All these shoes can be found at Swiss Polo store some where in the new shopping complex. I'm not gonna tell the name of the complex for certain reason, hehe.

I need a new sandal

Assalamualaikum dear friends and visitors, may all of us are having the best time of our life and alhamdulillah that we can still breath the air and feel the wonders of Allah's creation.

It's another hot yet cloudy day here in Kota Bharu. From the side windows I can see our gardener is cutting the grass and cleaning the backyard of the Library. Smokes are coming out from a pile of rubbish that he's set on fire at one corner of the wide backyard. Hmm... he's not suppose to do that, I might have a talk with him later.

Ok, back to the topic above. My beloved sandal cannot fit my feet anymore. I don't know why. Feels like my feet is growing a bit. I always wear a size 4 sandals or shoes but this few days, my feet would be sore after using that sandal. So... I went looking for a nice new sandal. The one that is comfortable for my feet and looks nice. I did find a few interesting ones but none has size 4.

I really fell for this sandal from nautifit but it's a disappointment because they only have the last pair in size 5. Yes, it's the one that I tried. Even though I love it so much, I wouldn't buy it because it would be a waste. It's too big for my feet and can make me fall down.


It does look nicely fit in this pic because I push my foot to the front but there's almost 1 inch free space at the back. Not nice & not comfortable at all.

Looks like, I have to browse at another shop then. In this current mood, I don't think I'll be very fond of walking around anywhere even though I love shopping. Maybe I should look online.

Any suggestion for Malaysian Online Shoes Shops?

Me and My Shoes

I don't know about you but I sure love shoes and my most favourite kind of shoe is wedges. Yesterday I bought a second wedges from BATA. It looks simple but I chose this one because it's so light and comfortable. Some people said that as a Muslimah you shouldn't be wearing a shoe with heels but since I've never find any concrete dalil about that from the Quran or the Hadith so I think it's okay as long as it does not produce any sound when you are walking.
And this one fits me nicely.

As for now, I have 11 pairs of shoes, mostly black.
Well, for me different kind of shoe has different purposes. Although at home I usually wear my green flip-flop which only cost RM2.90. Bought it at Mydin.

The most important thing is COMFY.
