Because my bestfriend loves shoes

20 May 2011 4,303 views 13 Comments

My bestfriend loves shoes. It explains why she keeps (well, sort of) a shoe blog called Imeldific. It’s her way of sharing this love with the rest of the online world. Sure, she can afford to splurge on a pair or two (yes, the reach of her wallet can go that far, heh) but like any smart lady who also has a family budget, raising a kid and a household to manage, keeping an eye out for shoes she can get at a bargain is a practical work around in exercising the passion. Ah, women and their shoes, eh? Even I’m included. I love shoes, too!

When Mel read my post about the pink and cream flats I bought from Rubi a week or two ago, she didn’t hesitate to tell me she’s interested in getting a pair (or two) as well. Since I’m such a good friend (AHERM), I went back and *tried* to buy them in the colours she wanted. Tried, being the operative word, since I failed on the first trip since I didn’t see any that matched the ones she told me so I had to go back to her to let her know her only choices for colour.

True enough, I was able to get her a pair of Evie Flats in light brown (or what they at Rubi call Camel Fish) as agreed upon and since there was a 2 for AUD$30 deal going on (getting just one pair would’ve cost AUD$ 19.95 which is roughly around Php 894.00 see bargain price here), I was to get her another pair in Red BUT —

Eeep. I ended up getting one in Navy Microfibre instead. The red (Ruby Fish, most likely) had a the garter in black, which was something she mentioned she didn’t like. So, using common sense, I opted for the next best pair that she might like. Well, at least, I hope so! I threw in a cute eco-friendly shoe bag (proceeds of the sale of each bag goes to the Cotton On Foundation) for good measure (and, hopefully, to stay in her good graces).

Dear Mel,

I hope you’re not disappointed with these. I’m excited to see you wear them!
See you soon!

Love,
S

P.S. If you don’t like the navy flats, I’ll be happy to have them for myself! LOL.

    Pen, ones left for the Evie Flats are the ones with black garters (red and moss green) er, not unless you want a glossy black? There are more designs like pointy ones. Let me know if you’re interested and what colours you might like. :)

    Claire: I actually would’ve opted for the camel instead of the cream pair had I not wanted something closer to white. I esp like it because of the texture. :)

    [...] I originally wanted nude and green but according to Sasha, the green flats has a black garter which unlike the other ones has the same or close to the color shade of the shoes. So to end the debacle on the color, I just decided on getting a red pair, my fave color. Unfortunately, the red flats also has a black garter on it. To probably save (her) time, she decided on the color for me. I was actually wondering why she hasn’t called me about it. Then I saw her post. [...]
