imeldific : shoewhore strikes again

no thanks to christina, i walked into macys with the sole (get it, he-he) purpose of getting a wedding present for my friend. i walked out with two pairs of flip flops and 3 pairs of fabulous flats. a week before last, i went to palisades mall and scored two pairs of SJP's bitten shoes and rockin' pair of cooky, but very joffin shoes.; here they are shoewhores... i'm sharin the lurv.



i'm too lazy to take my own pics of this style, but i got two pairs of this style. one in purple, and one in olive green. each pair costs $8.98 -- yey steve and barry's.


from DSW, i got this really rockin' pair...



i love these with bootcut jeans, either with a blue or brown top. very cute. price : $18.00 - it was 50%.


our trip to macys gave me all these for a total of $71



this carlos santana blue patent flats looks cute with khakis and jeans. i can't wait to wear it in school. price : $20






these sam edelman shoes look good in white pants or black or jeans also. they're super soft and super cute! price : about $20



i can't find a better picture of this two-tone black bcbg flats online and this is the best that i have. super comfy pair and very classic. goes well with pants or skirt, leggings and jeans of course! original price = $89.99, sale price = $22.49. winner!




the two kenneth cole flipflops were a steal for less than $10 each. i'm all set for summer footwear.

hope you enjoy my new babies... until my next shoescapade. :)

back with a vengeance -- the return of the shoewhore

music : back on the chain gang by the pretenders

yesterday, armed with a medium cup of vanilla late from dunkin donuts, i braved the local streets of jersey to make my way to after christmas shopping. i have been good the past three months, with no money to spare and all, but i treated myself to new work shoes in celebration of my new job.( as if shoewhore needs any reason to buy a pair of fab shoes)

it saddens me that i no longer have benefits from a swanky shoe store, but there are still fab shoes everywhere. lookit my loot! i've been a bad girl, shoewhore took home three pairs yesterday ... enjoy!



this yummy number from report shoes, i got from macy's for $35. it's soft, comfy, and just the right height. perfect for dresses and slacks.





this flat number i got from steve madden. i really like gray shoes lately, and a nice flat pair is the ticket for jeans and black pants. i ended up paying $20 for this pair because it was buy one get one half off.

and this, fellow shoe lovers,is the crown jewel. a fabulous wedge in mustard. so cute!!! this was quite pricey for me,$80, but i gotta have it. it's super comfy and super cute on my negrita feet. great on dark wash bootcut jeans and chocolate brown chinos. i can't wait to wear it to school.





yun lang tengks.

i knew something's gonna happen when i exchange my running shoes for a size 6 1/2. the shoewhore had her way and this happened :



i know i shouldn't have bought another pair of shoes, but that's like telling an addict that he/she should not take drugs. dammit, but these shoes were calling my name!!!

they're cute, i love 'em and i can't wait to wear them. i would've this morning, only it was raining so i'll have to wait for a subbing assignment next week to take these chicks out for a walk.

noo-ni-noo-ni-noo.

(almost) ready to run

music : ready to run by the dixie chicks


i did not sleep saturday night. like a zombie i went through the motions of my morning ritual. i did what i usually do during most sleepless nights -- i burned the phone line a made a trail of calls to a few of my friends and my mom back in the philippines.

then in the morning i went to j's house to get my check, then went to the mall in search of the perfect running shoes. i looked at lady footlocker, modell's, finish line, sports authority but i did not find what i was looking for. my last resort was DSW, and ssssssccchhhhwwwwiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!!!

the shoewhore scores!





don't these tootsies scream all my names in them?! it's puuurrrrffffeeeecttt! and you know what? they are so light too, so comfy! the best part is, they were not that expensive either - $75 including tax. not bad at all.

so srew you nike shox. i still don't like you and your $120+ price tag.


but wait, not just yet. the shoes i got were a bit too big, so i have to go back there tomorrow to exchange it with a half size smaller. damn, it's true what they say then, when one gains weight, the shoe size changes as well, and the same goes when you lose weight. sigh, i'll assess the damage of this weight loss to my shoe collection. sniff, sniff.


anyway, i got great deals on running gear from the lady footlocker so i got a couple of running pants and sports tops. i also got a few pairs of long sleeved shirts to go with the pants. it's getting chilly in the mornings when i run.


i had wanted to run in full battle running gear regalia today but it'll have to wait 'til i get my shoes exchanged.

lubsi, you are so right, there are a lot of cute running gear out there. i'll definitely take you up on that offer for a run next time i drive down there. jock-jockan na itoh!!!

it's monday morning, and the shoewhore laments

i want to sock murphy and his law. so here i am awake and ready to take calls for a subbing job and my home phone is mute. oh well, i can always use a day off to work in the apartment.

so on saturday, i went to j's house for a round of exercise. we went to johnson field in her town to walk on the track, for olivia had a soccer game. it was a beautiful day for the outdoors anyway, so we'll save tae-bo for the colder weather. i attempted to jog one round around the track and i did it! it was a killer, but i think i can alternate it with brisk walking. i figured one round is probably half a mile, so maybe i can jog two miles for starters.

yey, aeus, i think i just might start running soon! forget my abnormal obssession with the way i run. i don't care anymore. you see, being sakang, i've been a bit conscious about the way i run. i think i look a bit retarded running. with soccer, it's okay, the ball is right in front of me. with basketball too. playing point guard didn't bother my consciousness about the way i run too. all i thought while dribbling the ball was bitches better get out of my way or they'd get fouled or i'd get an offensive foul myself. tough shit.


but as usual, i digress.

i went online a few minutes ago in search of a pair of running shoes. i figured my puma sneakers won't be good enough for running -- the cushion won't do. so surf the net i did, young padawan. the force was not with me. ugly running shoes, found i did. but the force eludes me in my quest.


the running shoes i saw were just plain fugly. the shoewhore is upset. but she knows that she better take care of her feet because her mom had issues with hers due to poor cushioning. we don't want that, do we?


i am a brand loyalist, so i would prefer to get a pair of puma running shoes, but now i don't know, running shoes look like freaking speedboats, or some kind of amphibious vehicle. (roll your eyes here now)


i used to be a nike fan, but i switched over to puma and i think i'm staying with puma. nike shoes are expensive and honestly they do not look flattering to me. the last pair i owned were a cool pair of camo green ACGs, but i think they stopped making those.

anyway....

so, i'll keep my eyes open for a pair of not so fugly running shoes. what do you think of this one? this is the only one i kinda like so far.

shoe whore cravings

i'm in a semi pissy mode. i finally realized that not only have i lost the pair of custom-made pearl earrings that my lola gave me, i also lost a pair of pumas from my trip to california earlier this year.

it sucks. i've only worn that pair all but twice. i know i have 6 excellent pairs of pumas left, but still. sigh.

i went to this snazzy site. pretty cool huh? you get to create your own puma sneakers! sweet. i designed my very own pair.





the cost of these babies is $130. kinda pricey for me, but since i "designed" it, i guess it's okay. hmmm, gotta save up for this pair for christmas. noo-ni-noo-ni-noo.

low batt morning

of all the days to feel blah, i choose today. and then i thin i just lost a pair of sneakers. argh. i particularly liked that pair because it had velcro strips instead of shoe laces.

hooray. some weekend.
more coffee?

shoe whore chronicles

when durga is a caffeinated wreck, lots of things can happen. she can, for instance, call up suzee, her shopping partner in crime and go to the mall to go shoe shopping.
tadaaa!!!!



durga is a happy girl. sleepless, but happy. noo-ni-noo-ni-noo.
