Wooo-weee!


The world feels right again. I went to Bukit Bintang today and scored my first pair of shoes since The Ban. Sure, it took me a while to find the one pair that I deemed worthy to be The Pair To End The Ban. But find them I did, and they are FABULOUS, people, just faaaaaaaabulous. Totally worth the wait. I think about them now and I still burst into a fit of giggles. I want to run downstairs, take them out of their box, take them to bed, snuggle them up (clasp them?) against my loving bosom through the night. That, or sleep with them on...and waking up periodically to admire them, giggle deliriously, and collapse into sleep again, of course.

It was instant love. I clapped my eyes on them: sitting, almost forlorn, on their Full Price shelf amidst the year-end-sale chaos of this random little shoestore, they were the perfect way to end my fast. They are bright, sunshine-y yellow slides with a slim wedge heel, and they each come with a gorgeous, shimmery, gauze-y, bright yellow bow/flower-thing topped jauntily on the outside edge that is just big enough to catch your eye, but not big enough to look like they're swamping your feet. How marvelously Stepford-Wives! How outrageously impractical!

Imagine that with a flirty, swishy little summer dress that comes just to your knees...ooh.

Hold on while I compose myself.


Anyway, here they are (Eeeee!):
