Bling Bling~ Ivory white shoes
I wanted something simple and elegant, not too ‘kua zhang’ so that I can still use it for other occasions. I love crystals cos they look great under the spotlight. That why I bought Swaraski Crystals to DIY on the ankle strap to add more bling bling! Wahaha
From: Luceno Italy, Takashimaya
Damage: $119 but it comes with 10% discount!
Height: 3.5inches (I prefer shorter but they don’t have it)
Check out my super BIG lighter! Is really this big hahaa. These are my tools for DIY, is tedious and tiring for clumsy ppl like me. My hands are not stable enuff and end up dropping those crystals into the lighter hole haha. And the funny thing is, when I shake it out of the lighter, it doesn’t come off. -___- lighter with secret compartment ? can tell is not done up professionally, abit slanted here and there on close up wahaha !! but doesnt matter la, no one gona look at my shoes aniway. I like the “man zhu gan” feeling when i see my own work- shiock!

Close up of the crystals and NuBra
The crystals come in many sizes and color but I buy the small one so that I can paste 2rows on the ankle strips. All certified from Swaraski Crystal Australia, saw the cert and chop at the shop. Is selling at wholesale price, but need to buy in bulk la. Im thinking of DIY a gift for my Jiemei to wear. Like a top with wording “Bridemaid” using pink crystals. Provided I have the time to do and they wana wear la. Shall keep in view hehee
NuBra: there are many brands out there and we found one fake one from China WAAHAhaha I dont dare to buy, wait make my body out of shape ar, tts it! The original one is from USA, selling at $160 at suntec. CHOR… I dun feel is worth buying since im not gona use it after wedding oso. Found a cheaper alternative from Robinson Lingerie dept at only $69.90! save $100 hehee somemore i heard from my married friend, some gowns have padding in it so im not too sure how it works. Can share wif u girls after im back from Taiwan.
Dear picked up this without lace cos he find it troublesome to tie. hmm i prefer those with the strings cos they looks smarter to me. But most important of all, is he finds it comfy and he likes it la.
He has 2 sets of suits for PS, cos I wana see him in full white suit other than the typical black. He got the height and he’s slim, so I’m confident he can carry it well. I doubt he will wear full white in his entire life, in fact, i don’t think I have much chance to see him in suits also. Wedding is the only chance where he can wear and nobody is gona say he’s overdressed WAHAHA They have white shoes to lend him so let’s hope they have his size =P
