Every day shoes


My new every-day shoes have arrived. Before, I always have mixed feelings toward Tod's flats. Why? Once I was in its store in Rome, the salesperson wore a pair of orange loafers which looked fantastic so I asked her to bring the same pair in my size. When I tried it on, it didn't look bad but it just didn't look as fabulous as that on her...... I finally realized what's the difference - that salesperson was 178 cm tall while I was a mere 164. The 14 cm translated to the different length of our legs. Out of upset, I swore off Tod's flats for several years though it had nothing to do with Tod's. I actually sticked to heels/wedges during that period. Gladly I am over the childish era and now I truly embrace what I have. 


This is another beauty from Miu Miu. Though I like it a lot, I have to return it because the strips actually eat in my feet. This pair is supposed to be another everyday sandals; however, I feel it hurts even by trying them on. It doesn't seem the patent leather will give in in a short time. Bye bye Miu Miu.

Waiting for lunch

My boyfriend's mom is visiting us from Russia; sometimes she brings us lunch. Lunch on the grass is the best! Here I am patiently(impatiently) waiting for my lunch.

Office Appropriate


Despite all the inappropriate outfits I have sported in the office, sometimes I want to dress as an elegant office lady. However, it's tricky to do so in the summer. First, it's so hot that I can't bear to wear a suit. Second, as I am concerned, there is still some conservative working environment where females are not encouraged to wear open-toe sandals or no-sleeved dress. The combination of a soft-colored short-sleeved top with a white pencil skirt fits the purpose well. It's visually (and actually) airy so you don't feel hot. It has all the right elements (sleeves, length of the skirt) so you don't feel too exposed. Mission accomplished.
