I learnt something new about the tradition of my hometown yesterday when I was out with my sis and a close friend shopping. The shopping trip was meant to help the bride (who is our friend) to get a few more things for her wedding which will happen in March next year. We had to find a perfect pair of white shoes for the big day. Pardon my ignorance but I really just found out that a pair of white shoes for a wedding actually ranks among the top of must-have list and hence we took the business pretty seriously.
So the conquest began. Naturally we made Louboutin our first stop and found a beautiful pair of satin bow shoes that made it to the list. Then we moved to Gucci and Jimmy Choo and found nothing. The next stop was Dior where we found a beautiful pair of Cannage in white but not the right size. Our last stop was Fendi and Chanel and in Chanel, she bought a red wallet instead before we set off to catch our movie (okay, maybe we had not taken it really that seriously after all). I just realized another thing – finding a pair of white shoes for a girl is not as easy as I had always thought. I wonder who came up with this tradition.
By the way, the Louboutin pair costs SGD1,280. I think with time, we could find better shoes with better price out there. Look at what I found from Nordstrom (could be shipped directly to Singapore):
Cole Haan Ceci Air Rose Sling Back (SGD617.59), Stuart Weitzman Jardin T-Strap Sandal (SGD569.97)
Also, I made a purchase myself yesterday. It is something I have been contemplating since July and finally succumbed to it. If you remembered something I had mentioned I liked back then (hint hint: Referred by Christian Dior as “The Master of us all”), you would have known. Will showcase it in a few days’ time.

Seriously… WTF?? I know some Gothic thingy could be fun and cool sometimes but this is like a Durian. I will just call this a Durian bag and it is not a pretty Christian Louboutin. I think this should be categorized as a hazard or a weapon and should not be allowed on a flight. Worst is it costs USD2,995. There is only one way a lady should carry this bag: when on the way to catch the husband cheating. If you happen to be one, I am sorry, it is available at Bergdorf for pre-order.

Now: Carrie and Charlotte in Louboutin shoes and Charlotte with a Dior handbag
While the plot of the story is still mainly kept tightly under wrap, when the filming takes place in New York, things had to slowly emerge. It seems like part of the story will revisit the quartet’s lives back in the 80s and probably how they met and became friends. While the fashion of Sex and the City as we know it has influenced many women around the world to dress up, it is a relief to know that Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha once committed major fasion faux-pas like normal women to begin with. Anyway, I hope The Sex part two is not disappointing when it finally opens in May 2010. From what we have seen and heard so far, it is going to be pretty exciting. Rumour also has it that we will finally get to see Carrie’s mom (played by Bette Midler who was spotted at the set with a Bottega Cabat tote).
What the hell happened to Miranda back then?
Some things just don’t change. Luckily it looks better as time passes by.
And here comes the mom…
