THE 8 MUST HAVE PARTY SHOES

“A woman can carry a bag, but it is the shoe that carries the woman.” Christian Louboutin

Party season is upon us and there couldn’t be a better time to start planning your festive outfits. The looks, from bedazzled slip dresses to embellished maxi gowns, wouldn’t be complete without an equally shimmery pair of shoes. Since you’ll be stuck dancing in them all night long, might as well invest a little more and make it a showstopping one!

Whether you’re making an entrance at a glitzy soirée or dressing up at home just because, the midnight toast is reason enough to bring some glam back into your wardrobe.

Injecting the latest shoe trends into your wardrobe is an absolute must, read the post about my favourite festive shoes.

SHANGHAI CHRONICLES: 6 TOP THINGS TO SEE IN 3 DAYS

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience” Eleanor Roosevelt

Nestled along the banks of the Huangpu River, Shanghai stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of tradition and modernity. Join me as I unravel the enchanting tale of Shanghai – a city where history whispers through the streets and innovation propels it forward.

Shanghai is an alluring city of contrasts, where ancient temples stand in the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers, and where age-old traditions blend seamlessly with cutting-edge technology.

It’s a city where history whispers through the alleys, and where the future unfolds on every corner. Let Shanghai be a reminder that the past is never truly lost, but rather, it lives on in the beating heart of the present.
