My Review: I have these babies for almost a year, I am certain that my pros/cons are credible. If you are thinking of getting one, please take the time to read this. It will or will not change your mind.

The Break

The "Break In" phase was unbearable!!! I might be a size 5.5 / 6, but i have pretty wide feet. As you can tell from the picture, Tory Burch's Patent Caroline Ballet Flats are unexceptionally narrow all around--especially narrow and tight in the toes areas. When breaking-in to these flats, I had blisters all over my pinkies. Also, my big toes were pushed onto the shoes for every step i took. It was PAINFUL! This whole break-in process took around 1.5 - 2 weeks if you wear the flats almost everyday. However, It might take longer if you alternate shoes/flats. Moreover, the back of my feet also got few blisters due to the elastic bands.

The Feel

There is no doubt that these flats are very comfortable (as it's advertised) once you break it in. However, the comfort feel to it ONLY last for 2 hours. I remembered wearing these flats to a shopping spree that lasted for 5 hrs!!! HOLLYYYYY SH***T! My feet were crying out in pain. So, Yes (as advertised), it is very comfortable, but it will only last for 1.5 to 2 hrs or so. The reason being that the sole is very thin and doesn't have much cushion to support all the long hrs.

The Pros/Cons

Pros: love the design--very elegant and sophisticated. adore the elastic bands. real leather

Cons: thin sole. little cushion. small/narrow shoes. lots of blisters

Chasing A Distant Mirage

FINALLY, I finally had the courage to show my face on my blog!!! As you can tell, I'm a little bit awkward and camera shy in front of the lens. WARNING!!!! I'm not wearing ANY MAKEUP nor TINTED MOISTURIZER...so if i do break your computer screen....I'm sincerely apologize :( Sorry! <3

On my way to Vegas, I stopped by a gas station to use the restroom and conveniently snapped some images of my outfit....

DIY: Fendi's Cinderella Shoes Inspired Look

You may even believe that these collections of shoes have magical powers and have a mysterious ability to lift women’s spirits.They are absolutely fabulous. Some are classic pumps with a small platform, others are of a chic design, and there are those which are adorned with lots of chains.

I know this "style" is somewhat 2 years ago!!! But i can't help noticing that designers are abandoning the elegant and feminine trend that I absolutely ADORE. Nowadays, the trend have had transformed into a darker and more metallic look. As you all can tell, I'm OBSESSED with shoes and shoes ONLY!!!! I really like this look and I'm trying to bring back this soft/feminine touch to shoes.

As a shoe lover, this SHOES is too SEXY for me to handle!!!!

Why Am I Doing This?
Is this a hard question to answer??? Look at the collection, my mouth is literally dropped to the floor with saliva all over this computer screens. I think it would be FUN to add some "touch" to my, 2-year-old shoes, which totally ran out of style and trend last last last last last season. What I like about this "new spin" are:

1. NO ALTERATION OF THE SHOES IS REQUIRED
2. NO GLUE, NO PAINT/BRUSHES, AND NO SKILLS REQUIRED
3. HOWEVER, AN OPEN-MINDED AND A JOLLY ATTITUDE IS NEEDED TO FEEL SEXXY

It seems like this DIY is done? NOTHING is needed, except attitude? I'm just kidding, these are the materials required for this DIY.

Materials:

1. Pair of see-through stockings (50 cents)

2. Two Safety Pins (optional)

3. Pumps / High Heels

DIY Glitter Shoes

Dear lOve,

Sorry I've been MIA for the longest time! I needed times to reflect on my own little life + past actions, therefore, I've been busy trying to understand myself and the people around me :] I hope that was a legit reason!

Today, I'm going to show you guys how to TURN your old or damaged shoes into a brand new/glittery shoes!!!

Why Am I Doing This?

I really think that someone went into my shoes closet and sabotage my shoes!!! I recently bought these babies at the Fashion District in L.A.! I haven't worn or touch these! When I remembered these were tucked somewhere in my closet and decided to take them out for a spin!!! O.M.FCKING.GOD! someone must have worn these and dirty them!!!! Instead of blaming family members or any other crawling SPECIES!!!!!! I decided to turn these into --> GLITTER SHOES :]

*tears tears* my beautiful pink babies (T_T)

*see...someone sabotaged itttt*

Materials:

1. Joann's Silver Glitter ($6)

2. Loctite's Spray Adhesive ($7.50)

3. Mod Podge Glue ($6)

4. Plastic Plates (to hold the Mod Podge Glue)

5. Small Foam Brush (0.39 cents)

6. Plastic Cups (to pour the glitter)

7. Newspaper (for little mess)

8. Lotsssss of tissues

9. Gloves (optional)

10. Hairspray (optional)

Steps To Transform Your Shoes:

Time: 2:30 hrs

Satisfaction: 9.0 / 10

1ST LAYER

STEP #1: Pour the Mod Podge glue + little glitter together

STEP #2: the first layer of glues needs to have a little glitter in it because it will hold the glitter to the shoes better. Also, it will camouflage the sprinkled glitters! I don't know... IT'S JUST BETTER THIS WAY :]

STEP #3: put tissues in the middle of the shoes, so the glue wont get in and destroy the center :]

STEP #4: Paint the mixture of glue + glitter in small areas
STEP #5: Sprinkle glitters all over the areas that have glues cover.

^ Remember, to work in small areas at a time ^

first layer of glitters--you can still see small uncovered pink areas

2nd LAYER

STEP #6: Wait for 15 minutes for the glue to dry before applying the 2nd layer of glue. After you are done with the first layer, now dap MOD PODGE glue on first layer. DO NOT BRUSH or PAINT ON THE GLUE--glitters will fall off. Repeat Step 3-5 again with the glitters.

3rd LAYER

STEP #7: stray the Loctite's Spray Adhesive on the 2nd layer and repeat step (3-5) again with the glitters. The Adhesive stray will help to protect the glitter from falling apart!

While waiting, i got myself 2 cups of Sea Cream Jasmine Tea
boba + shoes = happiest girl on Earth :]

STEP #8: Use hairspray to get that "final" lock down of the glitters.

STEP #9: Wait for at least 24 hours before wearing it :]

Sunflower,
Happy glamming your old shoes
