My modest 1 year collection

Your wedding shoes are the business. They are festive and glam. You have to post a wedding pic, so that we can see the dress (after your wedding).

You really have great style. I love small well-edited collections, because they truly showcase a person's style; not just the ability to spend big $$$$.
 
Thanks for visiting my modest collection !
I don't have a lot to showcase but there is a story behind every piece of my collection and I hope that you will enjoy it.

First the bags...

Let's start with the bag have that started all... I got engaged 1 year ago and figured out that I needed a nice evening clutch... My mother in law is a designer bags addict and I just wanted avoiding feeling embarrassed in front of her when going out. So after doing a lot of online research (that's also how I discovered TPF :smile: ) I decided to opt for the YSL Belle de jour ... The only issue was that they were sold out in Morocco and I was not planning to travel before months and could wait that long. So I asked one of my friend to buy it for me from Paris and after 4 weeks and anxious wait, she came back and gave me a ... YSL wallet ! It was a disaster, I didn't even own a designer bag at that time and ended up with a designer wallet which was by the way more expensive than the clutch ! I ended up asking another friend who was also going to Paris to return it for me and get me the clutch. But the one I was looking for was sold out in Paris and she had to order it from London! Finally I only physically got it 3 months later ...

It is still my favourite (and only) evening clutch and truly goes with everything...a real classic, very elegant and I love it :P
Beautiful clutch
 
My second designer shoes are CLs :heart:

I was a loyal TPF reader at that time and was completely obsessed with CLs... I spent weeks lucking at all your beautiful CLs... I had to have at least one pair so I patiently waited for the sales and run to the store...
I got these beautiful declic 120 in patent purple and my friend got some greissimo 140 in red.

I do not wear them very often simply because I almost can not walk in them! I have tried everything but never mastered them. I keep them for occasions where I don't have to walk at all, when we go to the restaurant for example. But it is still a real pleasure to have them, I often play with them, take pictures... CLs are the sexiest shoes I have never seen and them can make any women look like a model.

I guess CLs are not for me but I can't help myself from admiring you ladies because you are able to walk, work and dance in CLs !


LOL! I cracked up when readin this.. I am the same way...i can't walk in them either and I don't get how people can wear them on a daily basis.

Lol :smile: But I will still do anything to be able to walk in them ! I have been to the restaurant last friday and have been trying to wear them...and I removed them right before going out !!! But I still love them :smile:
 
I think you are very very smart with your $$$ cos your collections are really really fabulous. Even some of the brands are not my favorite but now, you have changed my mind. Very very good buy!
 
Thanks a lot for your lovely comments ladies :smile:
It is true that I'm forced to make choices because of a tight budget and I'm really touched by the fact that still you seem to appreciate my collection :smile:


Here are my Dolce Gabbana wedges ... I got them this summer. Shoes fashion was all about crazy wedges and unusal designs. I have a thing for unusal shoes and I really wanted to pick up something from this summer collection. Again I got them on sale. I really like the different materials association and the original wedges. I wear them a lot with classy casual outfits and pair them with my Celine daydream most of the time

And here is my last pair of shoes ... Zanotti flats

I'm always trying to have the same number of shoes and bags which mean that I need to get a new bag/clutch now. I need a silver clutch to go with my shoes and I'm still looking for a good deal on a black classic bag.

When I first saw these flats, the first thing I though about was that they look like an YSL arty ring. :smile: I really hope to have one one day to match the flats :smile:
I wear ethnic clothes very often (I love Antik Batik per instance) and thought it could be a nice addition to go with my ethnic tops and dresses.
