There's something about Shoes and Metal

Beau Coops Garbo, Friend of Mine Hutton, Sam Edelman Pax Studded, Friend of Mine Pablo, Friend of Mine Claw

I have been lusting over these pairs of shoes/boots ever since they were released. The sight of metal parts incorporated into anything other than jewellery is interesting to see. Metal is such a refined matter. Even if it was smashed, crumbled or melted to the point of liquidity, it can still hold a certain level of refinement, if manipulated correctly. And that explains why I love working with metals for my jewellery. The thought of owning one of these metal(lic) pairs has been on my mind.

However, my recent purchase is one without the hard smooth finish that I so desire. So why did I not go for the first few that are listed? In fact, I am terribly in love with the range of Friend of Mines. Answer is simply because affordability and versatility are two huge affecting factors in my decision making. I am always more willing to pay for something that goes with everything. And as for this pair, I can see myself wearing it with every outfit under the sun. Also, the low heel means I won't have to sacrifice comfort for style. Perfect. I do realize the Hutton boots is on par in terms of versatility and practicality. Then again, paying more than $200 on footwear is a luxury I can hardly afford. No matter how beneficial it will be to my wardrobe. Maybe in the future, where I begin to reap the fruits of labour in my work field.

That is, if the fruits are abundant enough.


The boots also resemble the highly coveted Isabel Marant Dicker which is more than anything I could afford. So I'd like to think it was a good buy.

Indecisive me decided to let this one go and save up for something (better?) lol




The Hutton boot in tan is even more wonderful...

I got these girls from Why Who instead. Very similar to Swedish Hasbeens but chunkier and definitely more economical.

Started off seeking a refined pair but somehow ended up getting the complete opposite. Always happens.

Stefanie and I indulged in a photo taking sesh after class. We had tons of fun. Nuff said.

About the outfit: I love all things chunky, comfortable & unique. Thus, I invest in a lot of knitwear which eventually led me to purchase this One Teaspoon cardi. The main selling point for me was how effortless it looked on the body. Then I came to appreciate the silver pins on it which doesn't submit to the standards of the norm. Now that the weather's getting warmer, I'll have to pass up on them soon. However with warmer weather comes warm weather clothes; cute crops and short shorts! Can't wait!
