It's official - I'm a shoe fanatic! Four hundred pairs and more! I do not care much for "it" bags and I wear a leather fringed bag, which was a display piece in a jewelry store that has become mine through my soft powers of persuasion and a little harangue. The bag is now beaten down and beaten, but always receives compliments! Who needs an "it" bag?
But shoes, they are a different story. I have been known to live on rice and beans, while using Machiavellian tactics just to own a pair of shoes! And the usual line after the mission is accomplished, "Oh, they had them for centuries" There is something seductively something rewarding when you slip on a pair of towering heels. Sexy swagger ramp switch and nothing can stand in the way of getting what you want!
being in Jakarta (or Jaks as I know), it came to my attention that shoes can be hard to find when you Tired clogs as I do. I will not tell you my size, but suffice it to say "ugly sisters" in Cinderella comes to mind when I was desperately trying to push my feet in the largest size they have! I'll just have to order in my size.
Strolling in malls in Jaks, I discovered the Sergio Rossi shoe boutique, shoe-be-do-manna filled with beauty shoes. The shop is chic personified boudoirs and Sergio, can I please move?
I remember with great fondness, the first pair of Sergio Rossi shoes I bought in London. Beans and flatulence accompanying program were set in motion and, as a pregnant woman waiting for her new arrival, I realize my ritual shoes window shopping until they were mine.
When it was time, I slipped into the shop and pretending to go, I 'happened' to notice the shoes! Shallow, I know, but he made the purchase spontaneous look. Sometimes sellers can be quite pretentious, so you would not want them to know that you had to do the "program" before a purchase.
Fast forward a few years and both Spring / Summer2014 Sergio Rossi and Pre-Fall 2014 does not disappoint. I'm in love; both collections are also attractive lascivious, but lovely with a deliciously sublime way with a hint of rustling thrown A girl can never have enough shoes ever -. if you're one of the lucky few to own an American Express Centurion card, so each pair can be yours! Visit SR in Senayan City and be dazzled. The opulence of the store can be compared to a modern day Gardens of Babylon Hanging where shoes precariously on Plexiglas stands mystically serene and look as if suspended in the ether. Some of the shoes are in cages in gilt gold, and did I mention the air, evoking the Oud most extravagant? This is the account of a shoeholic to obtain a hotfix

Wear it with the shorter black dress or nothing. last but not least, the piece de resistance collections is FILIGREE sought and if Versailles was a shoe, this would be it.
Imagine this on your manicured hooves. Their exquisite charm colorful persona makes strikingly attractive. the laminate gold butterfly effect both black satin sandal and sandal T-bar is inconceivably beautiful and mesmerizing! If you are lucky to own a pair, only a glass box on your incredibly large marble table on a sphinx in the middle of your three hundred square feet room remains for all to see is their only befitting home!
