Talent Spotted!


On monday(21 Jan 2008) while clearing my leave, I head out to Orchard Road to enjoy a quiet shopping experience:-) and bearing the thought of enjoying coffee in the afternoon while all my friends are working. It feels incredible.

so while walking towards Takashimaya from Wisma Atria, I was 'chased' after by a panting 'filipino' girl(at least that is what I gathered). She was looking frantic since I was on my headphones and I did not hear her till she catches up with me. She promptly introduced herself and ask if I wanted to be a model with her agency. Handed me her namecard, with the company website www.createtalents.com. I was kinda skeptical since this could be some ploy to unsuspecting model wannabe. But still flattering in a way considering I was in my geeky glasses. hahaha. Gave her my number and surprisingly, she called the following day to arrange for an interview. I had check the website and it look really professional done. But working as an art director, I knew it takes more than looks ot model..and I dun think I can ever pose with ease in front of the camera. So I chicken out and ask to call her back which of course I did not. :-) but nonetheless, a very flattering experience. At least, I knew I was talent spotted:-) hahaha.

My Shoe Collection #02





Dior Homme Khaki Leather Sneakers with Silver Side Detail

I got this brilliant pair of shoe for a fantastic price (50% discount). Dior Homme shoes seldom get discounted for classic sneaker range. So I was very surprised. This spring season, this design came in white with a range or coloured stripes and a version in black.

Although I encounter quite a bit of problem ordering this online...it finally came thru and I received this pair of shoes in the mail by DHL this past wednesday. Excellent design, comfy. I had to get the shoe in 41.5 when I usually wear 40. Surprisingly, the shoes was not much bigger than size 40(compare it with my other size 40 Dior Homme shoe). A bit loose. Great for winter since I will wear thick winter socks. Or I can buy some in soles and wah la...fits like a glove:-)

My Shoe Collection #01



Dries Van Noten Metallic Silver Laceups

Okay okay... I know I setup this blog to published my bag collection...but since I have plenty of shoes as well..might as well combined it. but Bags is my greatest passion still.:-P No doubts about that.

Here's my recent purchase in Dec 2007. A pair of silver laceups from Dries Van Noten. Simply divine and chic. and Gucci is doing the silver shoe thing for spring 2008...so I might as well get the look at a sale price! hahaha.

Besides this silver pair...I also found out he made it in gold colour in a brogue style. I came across it on www.brownsfashion.com. Was so tempted to purchase it..but chose a pair of Dior Homme sneakers instead. Come to think of it...miss out on a great pair of shoes! Darn!

so which one looks better? Silver or gold?
