Sexy Feet: Elizabeth Banks

Photo from stylebistro.com

Elizabeth Banks wowed the crowd with her head to toe gold look during the premier of Man On A Ledge in Hollywood, California. She wore an Emilio Pucci short sleeve dress with a sexy back cutout that she complemented with Jimmy Choo tube clutch and uber sexy Christian Louboutin 'Lady Max' spiked sandals.


The eye-catching sandals was even emphasized because of her sexy (no veins, mind you) feet with pink colored toenails (no cracks and chips). 

Sexy sandals + sexy feet = Wow!

Lady Max spiked sandals is from Christian Louboutin's Spring 2012 Collection that I featured last December.

How many more wedge sandals can you handle?

Alexander McQueen studded leather espadrille wedge, $595 at Net-A-Porter.
I love wedge sandals! They are my go-to footwear whenever I feel lazy or whenever my feet hurt from wearing stilettos. (I think I've told you before that my feet hurts more whenever I wear flats.) Whether it's peep toes or sandals... wedges help me make it through the day.

And I have here more wedge sandals which might be of interest to you for your coming spring or summer vacation or when you just want to have extra height without the stiletto 20-minute limit.

Have fun shopping!

Shoe Suggestions for Cameron Diaz

Photo from E! Online.
It's such a sad thing when bad shoes land on good people. It's sadder when those good people are known to have good taste in shoes... like Cameron Diaz. She usually wears kick ass shoes except for this one instance during Christian Dior show in Paris Fashion Week Paris (of all places and event). From the ankle up, she's flawless. Oh, that strappy sandal!

She should have worn any of these shoes:

Nine West 'Squareone' moccasin made me nostalgic


Nine West 'Squareone' moccasin, $79.
This moccasin made me nostalgic. It reminded me of the days when I was still a medicine student... those days when I would sleep for only four hours to study, those days when my friends and I would hang out on the parking lot of a supermarket just for the heck of doing it, spending the whole day in front of a cadaver to study anatomy, those days when the hippest cellphone is a Nokia 3210 with a ringtone maker (the first one of its kind). *Side note: You can still create your very own ringtone at mobile17 if you no longer have a "vintage" cellphone. Wink.*

Those were the days! I miss all of those!

A few days ago, I was telling myself to go back to school, take a master's degree... that I need it in my future endeavors. And each time I think about studying again, it reminds me of my medicine days. Although short, it was one heck of an experience. And if I'd go back in time, I'd choose to go back to the days when I wore white uniform and a white moccasin while I carry with me tons of notes and 3-inch thick books that I should finish reading before the semester ends.

If there is one thing I regret not doing, it is finishing my medicine course. It will always be my number one frustration.

Pursue your dreams!

Look Good, Smell Good

Let me begin this post with a quote from one of my favorite fashion designers:

A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting. 
- Christian Dior

Yes, you are wearing a beautiful dress, gorgeous shoes and the most sparkly jewelries, but, if you smell bad... that's a different story.

I just happen to be inside a bus with a pretty woman on the other side wearing a pretty floral dress and wedge. She was wearing something like these...


She looked so pulled together so I was impressed, until, the wind blew on my face and I felt I was given Manny Pacquiao's left hook. She smelled so bad that I had to move several seats away from her. It's just then that I noticed that every one who sat beside her moved to other seats after a while. What a turn off!

My pretties, no matter how good you look but if you smell bad, it ain't gonna work. It's the worst fashion faux pas... worse than wearing neon from head to toe and more horrifying than wearing a shress (sheer dress). If you please, do not forget to spritz cologne or perfume. This summer or spring, it's nice to wear fresh scents like vanilla, green tea, strawberry or apple perfume... yummy!

Now, let me end this post with a quote from the woman whose name is synonymous with classic elegance:

 A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future. 
- Coco Chanel

Sam Edelman 'Josie' cutout wedge sandal

Sam Edelman 'Josie' cutout wedge sandal, $150 at Shopbop.
The good thing about living in a country near the equator is that women get to enjoy the sun's best rays and they get to wear sandals all year round. And if you are one of the readers who does, Sam Edelman has really affordable sandals for you. I fancy this 'Josie' sandal with cutout wedge of 4.75 inches and a 1.25-inch platform. It has buckled crisscross strap available in three colors--au naturele (the one on the photo), mineral blue, saddle and leopard print.
