Good evening loves! Before I do begin, I just wanted to let you know that I've finally decided to join the bandwagon that is Twitter.. didn't really think i could handle more accounts of stuff anymore, but I figured that this will be great for keeping in touch with all of yez. That said..

Tonight, my mind is reeling thinking about SHOES. Just like a lot of you, I spend way too much on shoes and I buy way more than I actually need.. like a comment well-stated by a friend of mine, "money can never buy happiness, but it can buy shoes, and shoes make me happy." Yep, story of MY life. My pulse literally skips a few beats whenever I see new releases from my favorite shoe designers--and while those are not usually available within my means(hello seventy thousand pesos?), I have always found reasonable alternatives.
Shoe geniuses, all: Nicholas Kirkwood for Belstaff, Givenchy, Alexander Wang
But how do you feel when a trend gets too overexposed, overworn, and tired? There were just TOO MANY strappy bootie/sandal hybrids when I went out over the weekend, and it just left too much to be desired. But seriously, I want to know how you feel. DO you believe that a shoe style loses its spark the moment it infiltrates too many closets? Or you're just perfectly fine with that, or would you rather just move on with another trend? Do let me know!:)
the hit strappy sandal: way too trendy?
That said, going back to basics sounds good to me at this moment. Matter of fact, I'm sure we've all noticed that a lot of designers have recently "retrograded", highlighting the clothes more and opting for classic styles for their shoe collections. Then again, I'm definitely not sure about letting go of my strappies and other uber-trendy shoes just yet, but from what I have seen, definitely something I'm considering these days.
Jimmy Choo
Gucci
Bruno Frisoni
Okay, I've so made up my mind. My next purchase will most probably be a pair of basic patent black platform pumps.. and that's the reason why designers like Christian Louboutin will be all the rage ALWAYS. After the current trend gets way too tired, they know that we'll always go back to them:)
So.. do you live for the trend, or love to go for the basic?
