All Jeweled up!

I have to tell you that I'm not a sneaker person. I brought my beloved and battered Nike all the way from Sydney when I moved here almost 6 years ago now. Then that one died when I was heavily pregnant with my twins so I had to buy another so I can survive the last few weeks of the pregnancy carrying almost 12 lbs babies.

My heart flutters when I saw these Miu Miu sneakers when I was in Vegas over Xmas. I didn't buy them of course and I ended up buying the blue purse instead. I kept telling myself I'm not a sneaker person so don't go crazy over something that it's not...cheap. A month later I still had those darlings dancing in my head. I went through my wardrobe to see if I can somewhat pull this off without actually wearing track pants and oversize tee.

Then over the weekend I got an email from NM offering gift card if purchasing online. There, I said it. I'm a sucker for gift card and I don't really care for double points event. Just do the math. If you spend $500 with double points, that is 1000 pts and you are still 9000 pts away from getting the $100. So why bother? Why not spend that same amount and get $100 instantly.

OK, the point was I bought the darn sneaker. I bought it without knowing what size I should get. Depending on the style, I can wear 39, 39.5 and 40 in Miu Miu. That's consistency for you lol. I selected 39 as it sounded like a good number at the time.

Fast forward to today, I'm happy to report that 39 was my perfect number. It fits perfectly and gosh I'm in love. I won't be using them for marathon anytime soon though ;-)

Bargain hunter

If you know me very well, I love sales! However I cannot be categorized as a bargain hunter since I have a low tolerance of patient. So if I like something, I tend to want it now, not tomorrow or the next time they are having a sale. I'm too lazy to go through racks and racks of clearance items..that's all, I have no excuses.
My point is, if you look hard enough, you bound to find something. You need the perseverance, patient and of course the correct sizes (size does matter if you're wondering hehe). Once in a while I suddenly have the strength to do just that and look what I found-brand new:

Miu Miu sunglasses (SMU13G)
I paid $55 for this, not more, not less.
The last time I saw this in Sydney, it was retailed for AUD395, I'm sure a lot less here in US. But with what I paid, I'm not complaining.
