I hate shoes

The title is not a typo.  


I hate how they make me uncomfortable. I hate how they feel. 
I guess most of all, I hate that my feet hate shoes. 


I was doing some blog browsing and I came across these shoes that do nothing feed the non-existent foot-coveirng fetish of mine, but do feed the artistic longings of the non-artistic person I am. 











I also do know my opinion of shoes goes against the norm. So go ahead and feed at Anastasia Radevich.

L'Odyssée de Cartier

Hello. It's been a while. 


I've been reading fashion posts non-stop to gain inspiration for a fashion writeup job. It tickled me so much I needed to share some of the gorgeous stuff I chanced upon. 


Like this bordering wonderous ad for Cartier. 




I recently went to the Cartier showcase in the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands. 


The ArtsScience Museum itself is a waste of time. Two rooms showcasing almost nothing. But the special exhibitions were wondrous. The Titanic presentation brought tears. The Cartier pieces sparkled. 


Honestly, I'm not tickled by the Cartier pieces enough to want to buy them. I guess because my fashion sense is more... high fashion, dare I say? Point is, I love black pieces that have straight but interesting cuts. Classic jewelry is not really my thing. 


But there was this one pure white room filled with long white straws in the Cartier exhibition that made me sit and stare so long, the suited in black security guard felt the need to warily watch over me the entire duration. It was strangely comforting to have his presence to pull me back while I was drawn inexplicitly into the nothingness of the bright white space that only held one magnifying glass over a classic Cartier timepiece that I hardly remember now. 


The same way I am fascinated by this luxuriously nonsensical advert by Cartier. I love the almost cliche yet beautiful way the diamonds blew up in the air when the leopard turned to life. The roomful of animal jewels that were alive. And who could forget that gorgeous red dress and the timepiece the leopard represented.
