Shiny vinyl hot pink stilettos available at Icing along with a bunch of other 80's looking shiny accessories (i.e. the bow berets and plastic bangles in the picture).

"Miss June" peep toe wedge sandals in turquoise and fuschia suede by John Fluevog.
Nailpolish: Sally Hansen's "Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear" colour no. 23. The brush is the crappiest quality you can imagine, but the colour is exactly what these toes need with these sandals. Sometimes.

P.s. I rarely opt for experimental nailpolish colours, but I'm on a very tight shoe budget right now, so some of the variety in my life has to cost less than $5.

Pink Slipper Sockies

Last but not least - the sockies I wore today, which are super fun and compfy. You actually could wear them as slippers if you wanted to. To me they are just the perfect thing for summer sneakers. Hardly anything shows out of the shoe, and whatever it is looks always in the right colour somehow (I had them in pink, blue, green, yellow and even white). They are from Payless ShoeSource, but I don't think you can't find them there this year...

My Pink Flower Socks

What can I say? I just lurve these socks! Transparent pink with the large floral motif, they are just made for me. The shoes are surprisingly comfortable despite the stiletto heel, and they have a pink flower to match!
These just lift up my mood, which happened to be rather peachy today anyways. And they were fun walking in on my evening stroll around town.

Vacation Time

I am enjoying my long-awaited holiday near the Mediterranean sea. Here I'm enjoying a laid back pair of sneakers in yummy chocolate and strawberry ice cream colours, and pink slipper-shaped anklet socks.

Pink Cowboy Boots

Pink Boots, originally uploaded by Theresa Di Moan.

Edgy, timeless, rough yet at the same time shamelessly feminine...
The leather is thick and sturdy, pressed with crocodile-skin pattern. The colour is lively and makes a bold statement anytime I wear these.

I was dreaming about these boots for a long, long time, saving up to them with the fabulous layaway program at Fluevog's (I just love shops that offer layaway!). They were the most costly pair of boots I ever craved at the time (of course, the price went down after I bought them...). When I finally paid them up it was spring, but they prove to be useful and appropriate all the same and I have been wearing them non-stop ever since, regardless of weather.

They are just everything a pair of cowboy (or cowgirl?) boots should be. They go with everything and are quite comfortable, despite of the heels. I love them with dresses and skirts, and was wearing them all summer.

Yesterday I was wearing them with a basic pair of jeans, a lacy hot-pink tank top by an Indie designer from True Value Vintage, and a coat of course, because it's still winter even though I'd like to think it's going to be over soon. I went for a walk on the beach and found this rusty sculpture to be the perfect backdrop for this as well as the hot-pink purse I was carrying along (see the post below).

Pink Purse

This crescent shaped hot pink faux-leather purse is one of my favourites. It's equally stylish and practical - a rare phenomenon. And what more, it cost me only $18 at the shoe repair shop on Davie @ Jervis.

There are a couple of compartments inside - one with a zipper, where I keep my make-up and pens etc., and one that seems to be waiting to nestle a cellphone. Personally, I prefer the lace-up pockets at the tip of each side of the crescent for the cell phone. Saves the time required for digging and unzipping...

Clinique's Color Surge Impossibly Glossy lipgloss in Prettiest Pink (#102)
Agent Provocateur's purse perfume
Stella in Two Amber solid perfume
My Motorola flip-phone which shows the time when the picture was taken. This should be the sole purpose of it's existence if you ask me...
