Leather and a Special Thanks!


Good Monday, everyone!  Hope all of you had a good break from a busy week and managed to spend some quality time with the loved ones.  Over here on this side of the planet, things are getting better by the day.  The weather is simply fabulous and we can start feeling the excitement especially in the children anticipating the big Christmas break soon.

Before I start with this week's post, I would like to thank you loyal readers for your support and encouragement and of course for your vote that lead my blog to win the title of Top Fashion Mom Blog organized by Voice Boks a couple of months back. They did a small interview with me and it was published at the end of last week on their website.  I am humbled and honored for this mention and this would not have happened without all of your support.  A sincere 'thank you' from the bottom of my heart.








Now on with this week's post, this was me on the way out to grab some pizza with the family late last week.  Since we were dining al-fresco style and the weather has been cool in the evening lately, I thought it was a good time to pull out my beloved Balenciaga leather jacket that I bought last winter.  I have been wearing this jacket around the house (with my jammy shorts and tank, LOL!) in the quest of breaking the leather in and soften it for about a month (had to pump up the a/c for that!) and the result is amazing!  Of course it is not as nicely 'battered' as my brown Balenciaga leather jacket I wore here but with time it'll be there.

The YSL tribute sandals I wore are new-ish.  I brought them back with me from the US last October and have been wearing them around a lot but this is their debut on the blog.  I've heard some friends saying that the Tributes are so comfortable they could dance the night away in them (mind you theirs are the higher version) but I was skeptical until I wore this pair. Hands down the most comfortable high heels I've ever worn!  In fact I am thinking of getting another pair.  This pair of mine are with lower heels (75mm) and if you are planning to get a pair of high heeled sandals, I highly recommend this shoes.

    1. Hi, Kim! I can't comment on other styles as this s my FIRST pair from YSL.. the beauty about YSL shoes is that they always come with 2 heel heights and quite a chunk of platform to go with so that sort of help with the comfort :)
