1. Reva Jelly Flats

I’ve been a fan of jelly flats since I owned a pair of Melissa’s. I hope these would live up to my expectations of jellies. This is top priority as I’ve already committed to buy a pair from an online buddy.

2. Vivienne Westwood + Ultragirl III

I just love everything about this shoe -the bow, the tortoise shell-like color, the ultragirl style, the brand. Only thing left is for me to try it on. Once I do, I might be getting myself my 8th pair of Melissa (two of which will soon be out of commission — glam laces make my feet smell ; the sin, i’m not just fond of)

3. Black Pumps

The pair I’m using right now needs to be replaced. But I’m not getting THAT one (read: kennot efford! plus the husband would probably tell me to buy an XBox instead. hihi). Something from Kenneth Cole or Nine West would do.

There you go. My top 3 needs

I usually do this — stand in front of the mirror and take a photo of myself — if I am not sure of what piece of clothing to wear. In this case, I was thinking about which Melissa Night to pair with my outfit.

Which do you think got my vote for the day?

Being a Melissa fan (i currently have five of them in my shoe closet), I jumped at the opportunity to win one of these cutsie tootsie pairs from Shopaholic Universe:

Yes, we can win one of those by simply becoming a member of the Shopaholic Universe. Their promo will end on February 21, which means you still have ample time to join.

I personally would want to have my hands on the Affair. The color is so yummy!

• My barely-a-month-old Anna Sui Secret Wish Eau De Toilette was confiscated at immigration. And hell yeah, I was extremely pissed! You see, I got that cologne at The World Trade Bazaar for, guess what, 40% off! And! I had only used for like, 10 times! But I had no one to blame but myself (which is probably I was so upset). I just dumped it inside my handcarry and didn’t even think of the airport regulations. Ayan tuloy Kelly! Tsk tsk tsk!

• Manu’s F1 cap, which was purchased at Monaco, got lost at Changi Airport! This was also upsetting as this was our favorite cap, add to the fact that you just can’t buy it anywhere! Again, Tsk tsk tsk!

• Manu’s Percy Lights and Sounds train (which costs P1,000 for a small wooden train, can you believe it?) also got lost somewhere between Pepper Lunch and Royal Plaza. At first, we thought that it was under our bed but when Gats tried to look for it, Percy wasn’t there.

• All of the above happened during the first day of our trip. TSK! TSK! TSK!

• We were able to purchase accessories for Manu’s train set, namely:

The Echo Tunnel

A limited edition Holiday Tunnel with Christmas Thomas

Quarry Mine Tunnel

• I was able to buy a pair of Melissa Night which costs 50% less than retail price in Manila

• I was able to buy three boxes of Royce’ chocolates. Yumyumyum!

• And the ultimate highlight of the entire trip? Going through the entire experience with my Manu and Gats. Everything else comes in second.

A few of my blog friends have been noticing my kikay header lately, so I decided to blog about it. Yes, those are mine – both the shoes and the feet. But I’d rather talk about those shoes since they really are the topic of interest. So, to my fellow kikay mommies, let me introduce you (if you haven’t been yet) to Melissa. (continue reading…)
