My Shoe Collection Saturday, February 16, 2008 4:22 PM

As per Fruchtzwerg's request, I present to you my shoe collection. My collection is tiny in comparison to hers.

I have spent a good part of the last few months drooling over a pair of Chloé mary jane wedges. There's one pair left on Yoox and they are in my size. Hopefully someone buys them before I find an irrational reason to justify purchasing them!

It's been like Christmas in my mailbox lately. Of course, most parcels are presents I bought for myself during random online shopping trips. However, today I received a package from the wonderful oh! the light today (thank you, thank you!). Inside were copies of the February 2008 issues of Vogue Girl Korea and W Korea.

This is exciting for me as I've never flipped through copies of either magazines -- I've only admired the photo editorials for Vogue Girl Korea on the internet. There's something thrilling about viewing the photography in a printed format. This issue didn't let me down. Look at this loveliness by photographer Kim Han Jun!

I wish I had a scanner so I could share the rest of the story with everyone.

Instead of sleeping, I've been checking out the sandals that have started trickling into stores. I'd like to have a pair of flat sandals to take me through the summer, preferably without the toe floss. My toes can handle the thong style sandals, but I'd like to leave that style for my flip flops.

Here are some that have caught my eye and are within my budget.

Sandals available at: 1. Urban Outfitters, 2. Urban Outfitters, 3. Urban Outfitters, 4. Old Navy, 5. Nine West, 6. Steve Madden, 7. Steve Madden, 8. Steve Madden, 9. Steve Madden

It's still early in the season so I'll probably hold off for another month or so before going on a serious sandal hunt unless I accidently stumble across the perfect sandals. Afterall, we have ten feet* of snow outside thanks to the recent two snowstorms with a prediction of more snow on the way. At this rate, I should be looking for another pair of winter boots.

The black flats on the left are my everyday shoes. I bought them from Urban Outfitters in August 2004 and they're the most comfortable pair of flats I own. They've put up with a lot of walking and have traveled the world with me. Unfortunately they look very beat-up.

While digging through Value Village on Thursday, I came across the aqua flats in brand new condition. Sure, I'd have preferred finding another black pair, but it didn't dimenish my excitment over finding the exact same flats in my size. I remember this colour being offered when I bought my black ones at Urban.

During my high school days I was not overly fond of Club Monaco -- probably because I was sick of seeing their black cloth tote bags that all the girls carried. However, around the time the company was sold to Polo Ralph Lauren (not a Polo fan though), I began to take notice of their clothing. Slowly it became one of those stores I always take a browse in when I'm at the mall.

One thing I love about Club Monaco is their packaging.

Their plastic bag is super thick and super matte. If only it didn't dent and crease so easily. I had this one stuck inside a tote bag (not a black cloth CM one!) that I spent the day lugging around so it's extremely wrinkled.

I love stripes and I love their black & white striped tissue paper. Luckily the salespeople never press down hard on their emblem sticker so I can peel it off and reuse the tissue paper.

Another thing I love about Club Monaco are their amazing sales. This sweater cape was originally $149, but I bought it at $29. Of course, my first choice colour (cream) was sold out, but at 80% off I shouldn't complain.

A few bags I thrifted at $2.99 each. The two red ones are brand new complete with the original price tags.
