Shoestopper #63

So. making up for that lacklustre post on food find. I shall post on something more recent.

Jelly flats!!! i love them. I have had a few pairs quite a while ago which I am sure I blogged about. But the trend seemed to be renewed with this new design and fabulous colours!

So I couldnt resist getting a couple of these babies when I was in Bangkok this time. They are soft and comfy. The soles are cushiony. For less than 10 dollars each, I really should have bought more...

Shoestopper #60

I went out partying last night here in Singapore. I had built this up for a long time so I was ready for some fun. Met my girlfriend XH for late dinner at Ku De Ta (Marina Bay Sands), then even though the weather wasnt the best, it held out long enough for us to enjoy some cool night breeze and drinks in the outdoor area at the club lounge. the skyline was actually quite nice too and eyecandies aplenty. its like the only kind of sweets that has no calories whatsoever. anyhow, ended up at another club Mink (Pan Pacific Hotel) with another girlfriend and spent basically the entire night in my heels. definitely not waking up to my toes feeling 100% but well yeah..

it kinda explains why today's shoestopper post is on a pair of very comfortable flats.


Monochromatic cuteness! I am not usually a big fan of ribbons and bows, but when done well (like a Tiffany's wrapped box) I would have to succumb to that cuteness. Like this pair of jelly flats I saw at Peter Alexander.


Twinkle toes indeed. I drew the line at getting the hot pink with red bow combination. This casual chic pair borrowed some kind of edginess from the black white colour combination and really pops even with an all-black outfit!

What I really liked is that while I havent worn this pair of shoes out anywhere, its plastic jelly quality is cut well and soft...and definitely weather friendly! Even though it looks very very flat, the cut forms to my feet well enough and really kinda like havaianas for me.

what do you think? too cute?

Mayy's Closet #42

Following on from a favourite tee in Prints Seven, I had brought it with me to Perth in the beginning. It is still with me now but I wear it less often. However, here's an outfit for a slightly warmer spring day.

Paired with my white denim shorts and leggings, it was perfect with my transparent jelly flats from Shoestopper #26 and my pink Ripcurl straw bag which has since gone to bag heaven. It is a simple look for a relaxed day, in preparation for summer.

I know how some fasionistas loathe the shorts-leggings combination but I find it appropriate for the unpredictable Spring weather. However, it is just wrong to do the combination in winter. For me, at least. Because well, it just means you can't get over Summer. Just give it up already. Don the jeans and leggings and boots. Leave the shorts at home! But who am I to judge? ;)

Till my next closet raid, Mayy xo

Shoestopper #26 (x 3)

It's once again Thursday. My day of cleaning and chores and chilling. I don't think my supervisors will be pleased but I need this day to recharge. Weekends are not for recharging. Thursday is. Anyway, bad luck with weather today and I shall not get annoyed by repeating what happened. So let's leave it at that and pray for better luck. Meantime, WA got a bit of rain this morning after a dry spell and hot weather. It officially brought the temperature down to the 20s and we welcome Autumn. The weather today reminded me of the three, yes THREE pairs of shoes I have in my current collection , yes CURRENT. Without further ado, Shoestoppers #26 x 3. These two pairs are here with me in Perth. I bought them both in my old neighbourhood in Singapore. From a very old shoe stall in the wet markets. Not the most glamourous of places but hey! So long as the shoes are to my liking, the place it came from doesn't matter! After all, they all come from China. HAHAHA. Anyway, one pair of these costs me less than SGD10. I cannot remember how much I got them for but I know cheap is it. I actually bought a black one too. But the black one's pretty painful and split so I threw that away.

My favourite out of the three is the transparent one. I wear it all the time when I run out of ideas or I feel like I can't find anything to match my outfit with. Being of non-colour, it goes. Just looks like I am not wearing any shoes. But I ain't no Aussie bogan. I keep my feet clean and glamourous.

The bronze one is really my rain shoes. When the weather is wet and yucky (I HATE HATE HATE RAIN), I wear them. It is rubber and jelly. It can afford to be wet. It is meant to be wet. Except my feet wil get wet too at times which makes Mayy a very very unhappy girl. One of the things I hate most in the world is wet feet. But this bronze pair puts in its best effort to keep my feet dry. So thank you darling, Mummy appreciates your efforts.

And there's this pristine white pair. It is my FIRST pair of jelly flats which I scored in Bangkok. It says size 41 but when I tried it on, I JUST KNEW it was coming home with Mama. It fits me, and the insoles are UNBELIEVABLY soft. I always feel like I am walking on air. ALWAYS, and I am not exaggerating. That is how comfortable it is. White is high maintenance but I keep it clean and only ever wear it when the need arises. I want to prolong its life with me. I even remembered which shop I got it from in Bangkok. The above two pairs cannot compare to this one. The standards just don't match up. Nevertheless at 100baht (approx. SGD4), I am a very lucky girl indeed to score a steal like this.

Do you have a particular shoe design in multiple pairs and different colours? I had this at x 4, but now x 3. Do I hear a x 5 from anyone?

Till my next shoe-stopping experience, Mayy xo
