19 Weeks: Play Date then Day to Night

Christopher Kane x Topshop dress, Birkenstocks

Audrey & I organized a play date for Berry, Gia & Georgia last week at their home - they had a "nail polish play date" and had a manicure/pedicure session with Hopscotch Kids, heehee. Even 6 month old Georgia put polish on her toes - it's water based naman! Adorbs! I wore this Christopher Kane x Topshop dress - it's comfy with a pambahay feel, but still cool enough to be worn out. AJ, their daddy aka The Graphic Designer, automatically recognized Christopher Kane's work! Galing! Had to clarify though, "Topshop lang ito!" Hahaha!

That same week, I hied off to Anthem in Rockwell to check out Anthology's new Hudson wedges. Angganda! Pregnancy friendly too ha! It's so light and so comfy! I like the grey ones the best, because it has that  nude effect, doesn't look chunky at all and just blends with the skin.

It comes in these 3 colors, and I would so get this in black too when they have it out. Soon please!

I was actually in Rockwell for a lunch meeting with Oliver of AVA (btw, thanks to everyone who supported the FEED sale on AVA! Almost sold out again as of week 1!) but I also had dinner that same evening with Dada and friends - Karrots, Chico, Jacob and Kaye, so this was my attempt at day to night dressing:

jeweled flats from Miu Miu, a dress from Hong Kong, Kenneth Jay Lane necklace, Fenton/Fallon cuff

day to night flats diba?

Hay Anthology! No thanks to you, this Brogues & Oxfords Obsession? It just never ends. Look at what Anthology came up with this time. The Shibuya in all its two tone, colorful gum sole glory.

Nice no? Here's one more to make your heart ache. The Shibuya in midnight blue kid suede with a, can I say ugh!, heart wrenchingly adorbs green gum sole!

I have a black & white cap toe oxford from Rag & Bone but I still want the Shibuya in black & white. And since I also don't have dark blue brogues, with colorful contrast soles, I think I want that too. So hard to choose! I swear, these Shibuyas will make your wallet want to commit harakiri!

Available for Php4,595 and exclusively at Anthem Greenbelt 5 and Anthem Rockwell. To reserve or inquire call 0917 89 ANTHO (26846) or email info@anthologyshoes.com

Ano, harakiri, este, hala bira na ba?!

Shanghai-ed

In a good way! Don't you just feel compelled to buy this shoe? Doesn't this blog post induce feelings of want? Anthology is on a roll! This shoe, called "Shanghai" looks like it could be your go-to shoe if you're looking for something different. Part loafer, part ballet flat and seemingly inspired by NewbarK (“an English men’s slipper meets a Moroccan babouche meets something you might find at a Japanese spa" according to Maryam Malakpour as told to Vogue), except this looks a lot more sturdy and can withstand a lot of walking around, I can so see myself wearing this with skirts, shorts, slouchy grey sweatpants or harem trousers for that chill, effortless vibe!

These shoes aren't up on the website yet, but already available in all Anthem stores for Php2,795! Comes in gold, silver and black patent with rubber soles! Go get one, na!

Incidentally, you can still join Anthology's Free Pair of Neons Promotion! Ends June 18, 2010, winner to be announced on June 19!
