The Look for Less (Louboutin Praia)

     I fell in love with Louboutin's wedge platform espadrille, Praia, the first time I laid eyes on it last year. I even wanted to have it custom-made locally since I wouldn't be able to afford the real thing but never got to.

     I got the chance to go window shopping a while ago and I saw this! A replica from Australian.  Infairness, they were really able to get a similar espadrille sole.  The buckles are not so nice though. I tried them on and they were pretty comfy. I think it's because of the "padding" they used on the part where you step on. Not bad eh?

Australian Platform Wedge Espadrille at P1,800. A bit too pricey for the brand if you ask me

Here's another version w/ ribbon and ankle straps.

Comfort and Fashion

     Why can't all shoes be soft and comfortable? The kind that will make you not want to remove it even after a long day.  The one that you can walk around with from dusk til dawn.  Why can't it be comfortable and fashionable at the same time... all the time.  I know for a fact that most girls endure the pain of wearing uber nice shoes but really are already killing their feet. It's a price girls have to pay for fashion.

     I was in Trinoma last night and got to check out The Landmark Department Store for some nice shoes. I didn't plan to buy anything but was so tempted to get some pairs because of how comfortable they are. I'm sharing some of the pairs I wanted.

New Arrivals from CARMELLETES

Garterized Strappy Heels and Laced-Up Flats

Both shoes have "cushioned-soles". It feels like you're stepping on mini pillows.
I'm pretty sure you can walk with these pairs all day or party all night without the ball part of your feet having that burning feeling.

Round Toe and Peep Toe flats from PRIMADONA

These pairs are made of soft leather. It felt like cloth. Perfect for everyday wearing.

Strappy Flat Sandals from AUSTRALIAN

The straps are made of smooth materials (they're not stiff)

I wanted this style before so I bought a similar one which i posted BEFORE . Now they're everywhere with better quality.  Alot of brands in the department store have this style. Pfft!
