Park Jin-Hee/Lee Shin-Young wears Ash Pink Ankle Booties in The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry

So, I've been trying to figure out who these...

... are. I also left in a view of the candles just so we can all muse together on how much of a fire hazard romance can be ;P.

But after a few days of googling and getting creative on how a retailer/designer would describe these, I found them today, naturally on a bootleg website. All the same, finding the bootleg helped lead me to the original which... is wildly out of stock everywhere. I'm kidding. But this particular version...

...is very likely from a few seasons ago. The drama itself came out in 2010 and you know how quickly fashion moves. What? Season's over? Okay, no one will want to buy this anymore. Toss! -_-

You can however buy this one...

 

Ash Pink Ankle Boots - $130

The studs are flatter in the original and silver whereas in the current version, well not current since these are also out of stock in a lot of places, you can only get silver on the other colors. Still they're pretty cool (even if they're not in my size D: small feet, pout). I'm going to search around for more places you can get them. It's reminding me of when I was searching for those Adidas sneakers earlier last year.

Oh right, Park Jin-Hee wore these in a lot of episodes of The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. I understand why, it's a very good choice for an everyday shoe. It's casual but edgy and different yet you don't compromise the heel. 

The title's kind of funny, eh? I wasn't going to watch it because I was thinking it'd be typical and there'd be all this irritating judgemental crap going on but I decided to give it a go and I was delightfully wrong. It wasn't typical and it addressed a lot of issues that people go through in the whole life partner game. So the irritating judgemental crap was there but it was discussed not thrown in completely for drama purposes. I recommend.

Oxford Booties? Yes, Ma'am

Wanted Maggie Ice Menswear Lace Up Ankle Booties - $58
I've been meaning to add a pair of shoes like these to my wardrobe for a while. But as I've learned with my Aldo booties, it's prudent to invest in Foot Petals Sole Stoppers. Prevents unintended ice skating adventures.

Lulu's: My new favorite E-store

So... I was continuing that many year old search for the perfect pumps on polyvore (<3) and I happened upon Lulu's. OMG.

Mixx Fiona 01 Black Kid Suede Satin Bow Backs Pumps - $36
I bought these. They arrived wrapped in pretty Lulu's tape and tissue paper. The box is currently under my couch until I reorganize my closet. But they are WONDERFUL. And have a four inch heel. Don't worry, I'm still figuring that part out.

Go Max Ashland 13 Natural Patent Pumps - $31
Next on the shopping list. This is the shape I wanted in black for my perfect pair of pumps but they only have natural and a gray color. I think there's a pastel green too. But I like the shape of the ones I got in black. These are sweet in natural so it all works out.

Go-To Glitter Grey Blazer - $82
I can definitely get behind this. It has a sophisticated cut but the "crystal appliqués" on the lapels make it versatile.

Chocolate Macadamia Nut White and Brown Dress - $45
I love this dress. It's cutesy but sleek. And as the name may suggest, it really does remind me of food. But more of coffee shops than anything else. I really like the hint of brown that the site describes as "cap sleeves". Not sure about that but very cute.

Swing, Swing, Swing Pleated Grey Skirt - $24
I had wanted a skirt like this back in high school. I like this cut better than the one I had tried on then though. In junior high, my friends and I would have called it a "swishy skirt".

Ravishing Roamer Camel Backpack - $43
Don't worry, it's vegan friendly. I've been fond of these kinds of colors for a while but I didn't grow the guts to wear them until that weekend after Christmas when I went to Jersey Gardens with my family. Actually, I probably grew the guts sometime earlier last year and just didn't happen upon the right bag :D But I'm going to do a (WAY TOO MUCH) Shopping post later in which I'll elaborate. But the color plus the bucket shape makes me all kinds of happy. It's not a backpack though you can wear it as one, and it's not a tote though you can wear it as one, but what it is, is awesome. I can just imagine rummaging through it for something that naturally traveled to the bottom. It may seem crazy but that makes me so happy. To me, the clothes that you like because of the way they make you feel are the best.

Carousel Belle Strapless Black Dress - $78
It's interesting that they have the model's hair in a ballerina bun since that's the vibe I get from the dress. I love dresses like this. The tulle skirt is high and full. It's a very dainty effect.

Side of Sly Grey Skirt - $22
I'm a sucker for asymmetrical. And skirts like this make your legs look cute.

 

Qupid Raggae 01 Buckled Motorcycle Mid Calf Boots - $49
The link is for the brown though they have both. I like the use of thick buckles in place of the typical laces.

 

Qupid Politic 109 Taupe Suede Two Tone Laced Booties - $36
A little Victorian, a lot of cute. I can't escape suede. I was trying to stay away from suede because it gets wrecked but Lulu's brought me back. Well... it's not like I'd be wearing the pumps in the rain and snow.
More awaits!

Spotted @ H&M: Booties

I think they're around 39 bucks, can't remember and their online site isn't in languages I understand. Actually this picture isn't all that great either. They look better in person (heh).

I also spotted an ad in which the model was wearing a dress with a very similar print to the Motel Belinda dress I blogged about yesterday/earlier today. It looked identical to me but I'm not going to say it definitely was because I didn't take a picture of it to compare.
