New sexy back

My new peep-toe slingbacks. All sexy slim and tall. And very pink too in the softest leather.

Don't be put off by the height. There is a hidden platform at the front which exaggerates the height of the heel - in effect it's not as tall. It is just an illusion, so clever.

Isn't it amazing how much skill has gone into the construction of this shoe? Its almost like a piece of architecture. Hidden platform, style, detail, stability and comfort.

I like this detail at the back of the slingback - how the suede reveals some of the shiny leather. And of course the signature red soles.

Incidentally the name of this shoe is called Architek.

Looks like one pair is never gonna be enough.

Cheer

Cheer Chen's latest album, and easily one of my fav apart from her earlier "Cheer" and 让我想一想. This girl gets better with each of her albums - 加油！The songs in this album are more mature than her previous ones , with added depth and tones to each of her songs. All the songs and lyrics are penned by her.

失敗者的飛翔

你知道吗 听你说话
我只需要 听你说话

在你的声音中 安全的让我害怕
这是一个 快乐的 警告

警告我别想逃
这个特别的时刻
判断 绝不会是你想要

你的温柔 包围而我 像个没人爱的傻瓜
你的影子 巨大 像喧嚣的脏话

在一片欢乐的景象之中 我却觉得勉强
在离别的前夕 找不忧伤的台阶下

你承认吧 你也想要體驗英雄般的誇張悲壯
来不及为你歌唱 你潇洒而昂扬

在一片荒凉的景象之中
我却觉得晴朗

让我为你飞翔 在你残破的天空之上
让我为你飞翔 在你残破的天空之上
让我听你说话 给我肩并肩的拥抱

Shoe Shopping

The pleasure of shopping for Christian Louboutin shoes.
I was invited to a private preview sale for Christian Louboutin shoes. Saw these boots, aren't they fierce? They make such a statement. Kinda regretted not getting them

The peep toe version was unavailable. But I love the red soles on white.

This was available in brown

I got something akin to this. I LOVE how the signature red soles contrast against the black.

I'd love to own this pair - such a classic piece. Love love love.....

A lovely fushia shade perfect to go with my jeans or summer dresses. Pity the red soles don's stand out so much.

If it's a Christian Louboutin, it's gotta be black.

Temple of Sleep

This is the little hotel by the sea called the Temple of Sleep. It sits right by the sea front in Villanova. It advocates complete rest and sleep for all its guests.


Photos like these are found all over the hotel corridor and lobby.

There were no room numbers on the door, just little hand written flags which hung outside the rooms. The alfresco dining area and buffet area where I spent most of my evenings dining on the freshest baby squids and salads. Unforgettable cold gazpacho, and seafood paella which I attempted finish an entire pan by myself.

The quaint setting and lovely dining area. wooden floor boards and table linen in matching color.

Lovely blue and white theme and lovely wait staff.

Shopping

The Chloe paraty bag - would be perfect in black of course.

Product Review

Have been using this organic serum for the past couple of weeks. Plant extracts always work for me : absorption of this creamy serum is great, as is its moisture content. Not sure if it has indeed erased any of my lines, but it's a serum that really comforts the skin (esp now that this skin is getting older and dryer by the day) Complements the Aesop moisturiser perfectly!

Called "Forget Your Lines" this serum is suppose to erase fine lines and stress lines. Hope it has helped relieve me of these stress lines I am piling on... heh heh!

Park Guell

Browsing through photo archives and decided to write about the lovely Park Guell in Barcelona again. Enjoy the photos.

The signature reptile from Gaudi.


The lone saxophonist in the park. He was good and his CD was on sale for ten euros.

To appreciate how steep the climb and descent to the park was.
