Well, favourite pair to look at anyway. Last time I wore them, I got huge blisters on my heels and toes. Pretty doesn’t always equal comfortable it seems. I only wore them for four hours, and I actually took them off and walked around in my socks on my way home. Running around in socks on the Shanghai metro is something I’m never doing again, ever. But at least I took socks with me that day, after all, walking around barefooted in a huge city is out of question (and way not a good idea).

They were quite cheap, as I recall, and from Naturalizer. Bought them on Shanxi Lu in Shanghai.

After all, who does not love a good pair of shoes? Or a pretty pair if you’re not that much into comfort, like me. If I can get a pair of both pretty and comfortable flats/heels/sandals/you-choose, that’s great, but I value the good looks a bit more. Which is probably why I almost always wear and bring along those nifty heel band-aids in case of a blemish or two.

I think my love for pretty shoes is border lining fanatical some times, but after watching the Sex and the City series, I get the feeling a shoe obsession’s rather normal for girls? And if you add the number of females one usually sees when entering a shoe store, it can be too far out either.

But let’s get back to the main topic; my new, pretty ladybird flats. Yes, ladybird. Bow-ladybird.

Please ignore those socks. Wait, do you have an opinion of the crossed socks?

This picture was taken before I managed to buy my self new, white ankle socks – which by the way gets dirty already on the metro station to school over here. There’s so many people rushing, and stepping on your feet in the process.
