Shoes for Spring

One of the reasons why I love Spring / Summer trends are the shoes.

I just realized that I've never done a post on my favourite style accessory before - footwear! I was checking out style.com one day and came across all these delicious shoes that I wished I owned. Some of the designers I have not even heard of before.

I usually look for unique details when it comes to buying shoes. I'm loving all these kitschy heels and sandals, and wishing money fall from trees so I can buy them all...

Flight of Fancy

Little perks of the job gave my colleagues and I a golden opportunity to visit the Cathay Pacific's Business & First Class Lounge at the KLIA Satellite Building. Sadly, we weren't flying to Hong Kong or anywhere in particular so it was only a drop-in, drop-out kinda visit. As usual, to head to the Satellite Building we had to take the Aerotrain, and it felt a bit odd not carrying any hand luggage...

I've never flew on First Class before, however, I did fly on Business Class to Singapore on Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Both Cathay Pacific and MAS' lounges present a vast difference, but I won't compare. Both are equally exclusive in their own rights. I'll let the pictures for Cathay Pacific's speak for themselves.

Weighing the Issue

It's been a little over a year since our wedding and naturally I've put back on all the weight that I specifically lost for the wedding, which is almost 5kg! I'm horrified to find that some of my clothes now have a snugger fit - oh the horrors!

Today I told myself that I will try to eat healthy, run (even if its just 10 minutes on weekends) and try to minimize snacking. The only snack that I allow are fruits so this morning before leaving for work I cut myself an apple for my teatime snack. Breakfast is maybe a sandwich or cornflakes with lowfat milk... it really depends on my tastebuds' preference.

Having typed all of the above, I'm not a person who's obsessed with weight. I think skinny people look malnourished. But I do know that some clothes look better on slim people - and notice that I used the word "slim", and not "skinny". We'll see how my mission ends.

Anyway, I think Katherine Heigl has the best shape. She always looks healthy and radiant. Her smile is infectious too. Agree?
