First it was Ugg boots, now comes the Gum boots!!!

Finally unpacked *some* of my boxes and found my green uggs and am amazed how the colour coordinates with most of my other favourite colours! 

I just have to say though that these are INDOOR shoes, I repeat, INDOOR, okay? (we don't want any skankalicious-effect, ya know?) Even then, I like coordinating LOL Now, where can I find shoes/heels in the same colour? Maybe something suede will give the same effect.

Now that I am all nice and comfy for the winter nights, I thought I didn't need anymore cute boots for the rest of the season...Boy, was I wrong...There I was, happily minding my own business at the No.1 Shoe Warehouse @ St.Lukes and I stumbled upon these shelves filled with colourful gum boots!

It took me a minute to catch my breath and decide that I had to try on a few pairs! I had to frantically search for my size too! I liked so many of them but they didn't have them in my size *luckily...*

Ended up trying on these two cuties:

While trying to decide which one I wanted (zebra print was totally calling out my name!) But alas, I decided that I had to make a practical decision...gum boots are made for walking in the rain, mud, etc...so...which one did I get? ;) xxx

I can't wear my boyfriend's jeans...

But I can wear his socks and Ugg booties...cos his are better winter wear than my tropical socks (which are pretty non-existent) hahaha!

Also my green uggs are still packed away somewhere...got to get around to unpacking!

To (New)market, to (New)market...

The perks of living fairly close to the city is that most places are walk-able/bus-able to. Since I have lived in Auckland before, I didn't have to check out the regular tourist sites so I decided to hit the shops @ Newmarket for some visual retail therapy...

 
Since it's winter there are boots, boots everywhere! Oxfords, spectators, grannie boots, etc..temptation! Can you spot the leopard print booties...to die for...

There were winter sale signs everywhere and some of you might know that I do have a weakness for knitwear...30% off! But alas, I have made a vow not to use my credit card...and have to sigh and look away :(

There are some hidden treasures on Nuffield Street (behind the main drag)...I wish everything was in Ringgit Malaysia...but alas, I am currently not earning an income (yet) in any country...so no shopping for now...

Wilting leaves looking pretty on the ground...gives the dreary winter some colour.

At the end of the day, I did find myself a little treasure from an awesome stationery store, kikki.K *I couldn't resist* It was too cute!
Hope you get a special delivery this week! (whatever it may be...)xxx

Self-photography, fail...

Greetings from the City of Sails aka Auckland! Without my fashionista sisters (I wish I could pack them in my suitcase) I find it hard taking outfit shots on my own...

I have been Con(verse)-ed...

As hard as I am trying not to shop but you know... sometimes...things just happen when you spot a practical pair of shoes at a good price...

Finally got myself a pair of classic leather converse!!! Yay, yay, yay! I think my feet are thanking me right about now...hee hee...

Now I have to wait for the weather to get cooler before I can start wearing covered shoes again! I don't know how people can wear jeans + sneakers @ 34°C!!! Have a great week ahead and keep cool! xxx
