"How to Marry A Millionaire".....for more shoes???!!!

Hahahaha....is it every girl's dream to marry a millionaire? Well, I don't think so. Not for me anyway....coz I don't think money alone can buy happiness!

Well, I'm not posting to teach you how to marry a millionaire or billionaire. That's out of my league. :P This "How to Marry A Millionaire" is actually a very whimsical shoe box from a brand named "Stella Luna". This brand is originally from Hong Kong. However, we don't have any Stella Luna shops here. Instead, the company's strategy is to launch the brand in China as the main market. Stella Luna boutiques are mostly located in various regions of China, as well as some other Asian countries such as Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand. More information at the official website below:

Two of my friends from the Philippines, Charmaine and Kat, introduced me to this brand and they are the main "enablers" for my SL addiction! Well, I don't blame them coz these shoes are really cute and reasonably priced with good quality (less than US$200~250 a pair). Haha...now it's not really an addiction yet, but I think I will buy more when I visit Manila this October. I think I'll go crazy when I'm actually at the store! LOL!!

Right now, I only own 3 pairs of Stella Luna and Charmaine helped me buy all of them in Manila. Then, I asked for my uncle's help to bring them here in HK to me. Too bad Stella Luna doesn't have online ordering system with overseas shipping yet......(but that's good in a sense so my wallet is safer...LOL!!)

So, without further ado....here are the cute boxes!


1st Pair: Patent Lipstick Red Pumps with Satin 3D Bow




I told you I have a weakness for bows....really love the 3D look of these satin bows...




Quick modeling pix...








2nd Pair: Black&White Satin Zebra Print Pointed Flats with Bow


Yet another pair of shoes with Bow! I fell in love with this pair of zebra flats after seeing my friend Rachel wear it. Thanks to Rachel's inspiration, I caved in and bought it! This pair is really comfortable and it spices up any outfit with these cool zebra prints!




Some quick modeling pix...




3rd Pair: Champagne/Light Gold/Blush/Cream Multicolor Satin Strappy Platform Sandals


I didn't plan to buy this originally. But my friend Charmaine kept telling me how pretty it is (she actually bought it too!!)....and under "peer pressure" (LOL!), I finally bought it! And Charmaine is soooooooo right! THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF STRAPPY SANDALS!


I am in love with the colorway so much! The colors are so subtle and perfect for summer! I have already planned to debut this pair of sandals with my DVF gold silk slouchy "harem" pants which I bought last month. I'll post modeling pix when I wear them later.


Love the knot in the middle of the satin straps, and the nice golden "studs" decorations on the sides to hold the straps together....




Love how the back of the sandals are weaved together....


Some quick modeling pix...








Back of the shoes...


Finally, a family picture of my "Millionaire" Stella Luna shoes.....


I'm looking forward to buying more in October when I am in Manila! Stella Luna....here I come!! Yay! :D

All about BOWS.....my Valentino Delight!!

I finally have time to update my blog!! So, I'm going to continue sharing with you my new shoe purchases. This time.....it's about BOWS!

I have been paying attention to Valentino for quite a while. I especially love their signature bows on the shoes and also their romantic and feminine "Petale" bags. I don't own any Valentino bags yet.....but I'll buy one when the right time comes (Chanel and Hermes first....LOL!!)

So, here you go!

1st Pair:
Black Cut-Out Leather/Mesh Peep-toe Pumps with Patent platform and heels


This pair is the only pair I bought with the signature bow. But I'm loving the cut-out pattern very much....and the soft leather + mesh are really nicely made.




The heels, platform and rims are made with shiny patent leather, making a great contrast against the matte leather+mesh cutout.


Quick modeling pix.....(sorry for the yellowish lighting since it's already very dark outside)


2nd Pair: Patent Dark Fuchsia/Magenta Ballerina Flats with Bow


This was taken with flash....


Loving the big ruched bow in front......so cute!! And not to mention the rich yummy dark fuchsia/magenta color......


And some quick modeling pix....




3rd Pair: Patent Fuchsia "Couture" Peep-toe Slingback with 3D Bow


Really love how special the 3D bow is.....


This fuchsia color is a nice pop to any neutral outfit.....imagine wearing it with a Little Black Dress.......or even grayish outfit with jeans......


Some quick modeling pix....




4th Pair: Patent "Mud color" Peep-toe wooden platform Slingback with slanted Bow and wooden chunky heels


Love this special "dark taupish-gray" neutral color very much. Valentino calls it "Mud" color. It was dark indoor when taking the pictures here....I think the color looks even more stunning when wearing it under daylight. The pictures here don't do the color justice....:P


And again, anything wooden heels is my weak spot...hehehehehe! Even though the heels are quite high, they are amazingly comfortable.


The bow is "slanted" which made this pair of shoes even more special....


Some quick modeling pix...






Last but not least.....a "family portrait" of my 4 new pairs of Valentino shoes.....


This picture was taken with flash.....


Without flash....


Hope you enjoy the eye candies!
