Shoe Embassy, I'm your Belgian Ambassador!

When I visited London this fall, I discovered a new shoe brand at the heart of Camden Town.
I had been looking for the perfect oxfords for over a year, but couldn't find that one pair I really wanted. When I walked into the Shoe Embassy store at Camden Town, my heart skipped a beat! The most beautiful full leather pair of oxfords were screaming "Take me home with you...?!". I tried them on and, my gosh, they fit like a glove! But I just couldn't fit them into my suitcase anymore, what a disaster! The shop assistant saw that I was drooling over them and felt bad I couldn't take them, so she offered me a voucher to win back the delivery costs when I bought them at the online store. Guess what I did as soon as I got home? I ordered them, DUH!

Shoe Embassy totally stole my heart! I just love their whole collection (check out the men's as well!), their service and even the way they packed my order. As a marketing assistant, I'm a fool for little details, like when you order, you receive a lovely guide about how to treat your beloved shoes nicely. 

I haven't regretted my purchase and these Brick Lane shoes are the best buy ever! 
I have never bought such excellent quality and comfort for my feet for sooo little money. To my opinion, they should increase their prices to measure up with the quality they offer. 
I don't think there's a way to find them at a Belgian shop yet. Too bad, but you can always order online :-) at www.shoeembassy.com . They don't fit wide or small, they fit like they should to your true size.

I will definitely buy another pair soon, but first I put these on my Christmas list: the King's Road Chocolate Chip Low Ankle Boots for though cookies like me! Finger's crossed my boyfriend will get the hint...

Men are Easy

Men are sooooo easy to dress. They come in, say what they want and won't leave without it, because they HATE shopping. I love them, they make my day!

Bangkok: Shopping City

Day 23
I love Thai fashion!
We went shopping today. You can find things that are in style back home, but with a Thai twist. Very unique stuff too.
I bought a very nice shirt and saw a few dresses and blouses, but was on a tight budget. I also bought two amazing handmade pillows for our sofa for 900 Baht (around 20 euros).
Fashion shopping? Siam Center is the way to go! Prices from 20 to 150 euros a piece. Mix of small shops from young designers and bigger Thai clothing & accessory stores. You will not find H&M and Zara here, but why the hell would you want to shop here if you have the store at home???!!!
For electronics, MBK Center should be walhalla. We thought so too, but it was very dissapointing. Prices aren't that much cheaper than back home, so it would be much smarter to buy your device at your local store if you want warrenty :-)!

Barcelona Quick Shop Stop

As I have told you, I could sneak out to the nearby shopping center between office closing hours and our appointment with the Barcelona colleagues to go out for some food.

One of my colleagues told me about the accessory store 'Misako' a while ago. I was totally in love with multiple bags from the website, but it was 15 euros for delivery costs. I waited my time until we got our trip to Barcelona and I went to the shopping center in hope to find a Misako store there. I immediately walked over to the ground plan and I found the store. I almost ran to it, because I was in little time and I wanted to visit some other shops too. 
I found the perfect bag I was looking for and an extra belt with a nice flower buckle. I also bought some bracelets in sale to cheer up my colleague. She had been lying in bed all day at the hotel, because she was feeling really sick.
As I was walking around at the store, I bumped into the coolest hand luggage trolley ever! 
I lend the trolley I was using for this trip from a friend, because I didn't have one. So, I needed one, but unfortunately I couldn't take it with me. I would have checked it in as luggage, because I already had a trolley with me :-(. You all know I'm a true cat fan and so you will understand how disappointed I was because I couldn't take it with me.
I will buy it, someday! It's not on their website yet, but it will... Soon... And then it will be mine!

I'm super happy with my new bag though, because it has the perfect size. It's not too big and not too small, because everything I need fits right in. 
You really have to check the website and let me know if you want to order something. Maybe we can order together so we can split the shipping costs ;-) !

Late Birthday Present

I went to Antwerp with a few of my old classmates today. Because my birthday is right before exams, we always get together during summer. First we went shopping and in the evening we went to diner. I found a cardigan and a dress in sale and a blouse from the new CKS collection. I love this brand!

A fun day and evening! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so we had lots to talk about!

As a late birthday present I got a travel diary and a voucher to get a backpack or something else 'adventurous'! I love these guys!

Birthday Shopping

It was pouring rain today! Awful weather, but my mom and my sister still wanted to go shopping at Maasmechelen for my birthday... Crazy women! They had to drag me to the car.
I didn't feel like shopping at all, but I managed to finally find the shoes I was looking for for my self made dress!
I also bought a sequin vest, a pair of UGG wedges and CK underpants.
My dad, mom and sister bought some stuff too. Our trunk is overloaded!

God didn't approve, us spending money, so he thought: "Why not sabotage their car?"
We started the car to go home and he started to shake badly! We can only reach 70km/h!
Flashback! I did this once before with my boyfriend's uncle's truck!
We panicked at first, because we were worried we wouldn't get home... But we could laugh about it. We couldn't take the speedway, so we're now driving secondary roads home!
We ordered sushi's... I hope we get back in time to pick them up.
Funny day!
