YS"Elle"

A bit of logo overkill...but it would match my plain YSL bag perfectly! The price is right at $56USD since I never got around to getting either charms last year from this post.
I can now touch up my lipgloss AND dab on perfume on the go without carrying those perfume samples that always leak. I haven't smelled 'Elle' yet...but the ad w/ Coco Rochas sure is enticing. I also prefer this purse charm over the Dior heart locket w/ those tacky beads that dangled.

I found this on Sephora's website, but I'm gonna hunt this down at Holt Renfrew since it's the only place that carries YSL cosmetics.

For those darn heels...

I finally got a chance to use these since I lived in flat boots the whole winter. Those darn Aldo stilettos I had on were killing my feet the last time I wore them...but thanks to these Airplus gel steppies...I finally didn't have to limp or take off my shoes.

I actually don't take off the sticker on the backing though...I just stick 'em into the whatever closed-toe shoes I find uncomfortable so that I can reuse them.

If you're a beginner or intermediate heels wearer like me...you might want to check these out here.

I have a good excuse--err...I mean reason for this...

I had to attend a formal. I wore a red dress...but realized I had no shoes to go with it. I don't even own a basic pair of black pumps!

These glittery gold Repetto T-Strap sandals appeared at just the right time (which was a few days before the event). I know they're not too versatile due to the amount of glitter...but I was DESPERATE! The heel isn't that sexy...but they're still 3 inches. Have I mentioned the comfort factor yet? OMG...the padding provided is amazing! My friends' feet all hurt in the middle of the night, especially after dancing, but I didn't feel any discomfort until the very end....and it was only slight discomfort. I suppose that's a given, since Repetto does specialize in creating dancing shoes.

I'm sorry that my feet have to be in that picture...I know toes aint the most pleasant thing to look at...but I'm lazy..and that pic was conveniently snapped without me knowing.

You can also get these shoes online here at dandelionfeet.com. They only have the purple version though (shown below).I'm hoping I can add some non-shoe related entries soon...must stop this addiction!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes... : Part 3

To complete the final segment of the 'shoes' series...we have these adorable Burberry pink 'candy novacheck' mules with kitten heels. I actually thought they were ballet flats when I saw them in store cos I'm not a 'mules' kinda girl....oh well!

My style is never 'cute and girly', but having just a bit of pink and small bows peek out from under my jeans or trousers add a little sweetness to my outfits. The low heel and ease of having to just slide my feet in make these shoes perfect for for my 'no fuss' approach to fashion.

So what if they're chav-tastic? XD

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes... : Part 2

Please meet my first pair of Miu Miu's: Dark silver flats with gold capped toes and ankle strap.

I haven't worn these out yet but I have a feeling they're going to be my favourite flats because they are sooooooo comfy! No scraping like my other elasticized flats and they actually feel like a shoe instead of a ballet slipper because of the padding and thicker sole. There's also very subtle toe cleavage.
Remember when Kate Bosworth wore this Prada dress and Miu Miu heels to the Costume Institute Gala last May? I saw this pic in a copy of Vogue last year and the shoes must have unconsciously attracted me to them when I saw them on the rack. I guess the 'mere exposure' effect I learned in Psych class really does work!


Although my shoes are from S/S 07, it's a good thing that mary-jane flats are still going strong this spring as shown above from the Chanel Spring 2008 Couture runway. Can't wait to wear mine!

Biotherm Gift Sets and GWP

If you're a fan of Biotherm's Aquasource moisturizer, you might be interested in purchasing it now because it comes with a Swarovski keychain. Personally, I don't see what's so special about it...but just a heads up to those who would like a cute bonus. $44 CAD
Personally, I would rather pick up the Unicef Set, also for $44 CAD. Along with the full size Aquasource moisturizer, you also receive the Aquasource SOS mask 20ml and Aquasource Superserum 5ml.

The best part? Biotherm will donate $1.60 from every set sold to Unicef's 'Nature's Gift of Water' program.

Check it out online at biotherm.ca

Don't forget to get free shipping and your 2 free samples if you spend $55 or more!


I don't know if you can purchase the above sets in store, but Shoppers Drug Mart is doing the Biotherm GWP with $30 or more spent from now until March 28, 2008. I did notice a Biotherm eyemakeup set with eye makeup remover, mascara and Forget It concealer (my fave) for $44 or so.

more details on the GWP here.
