Women & Shoes

We were about to go home when we walked past VNC and this "instinctive" urge convinced us to get inside the store and just ogle at the shoes... After all, what's so bad about looking and ogling, right???

But then suddenly, this pair of sandals caught my attention. I felt as if it was practically screaming at me, telling me how damn good it'll look on my feet. . I told Leih my exact sentiment, all he could do was smile silly.
                                                                  

Come on, I thought, who am I to resist such a desperate plea from a pair of footwear?? I'm just human... More so, I'm just a woman.... Well, not so long after, I went home with a paper bag in my hand and a big big smile...

Need to say more??? (^_^)

Purple Stilletos..

I was completely blown away when I saw these shoes at the mall. It was of deep purple color with overlapping silk ribbons and four-inch heels, I even noticed it from afar.

The moment I saw them, I knew this was "THE" shoes. To my dismay, I realized I couldn't walk it it without tripping. The heels were just too much for me and Leih. You see, my fiance isn't that tall so wearing stilletos will make me look an inch taller than him, should I indulge.

He knew very well how much I loved the shoes & even nudged me to buy it. Yet I managed to keep my self control and decided to forego buying it. I have lots of reasons actually. There is no way that I can walk without embarassing myself, and again, the height it will give me once I'm in this pair.

I haven't lost hope though. I'm currently on the look-out for people who customize bridal shoes. If I find one who can make me pair of these, the better. But if luck evades me, my two other bridal shoes on stand by would do just fine.. (^_^)

My Entourage's First Fitting

Three of my girls finally had their first fitting this afternoon. It was an overwhelming experience for me, seeing all of the gowns after a few months of anticipation. Two of my entourage weren't able to make it because of work but are scheduled to have their turns in the next two weeks.

aren't they just beautiful or what?
The gowns were of the perfect color. The intricacy in the beadworks and floral adornments were indeed worthy of praise. Every gown had its own unique personality. I had no favorite as I loved them all.

I also took a quick peek at my bridal gown. It was so lovely just the way I envisioned it would be. A simple  Renaissance inspired ball gown that any dreamy princess would want to wear. It will be sent to the dry-cleaners next but the designer said he might just add a litte more beadwork at the hem.

Leih and I went home very gratified. Every cent we spent on the gowns was worth it. Edward Teng is definitely a good choice. I wouldn't trade him for anybody else.

It had been a right decision, indeed...
