As if it couldn’t be more of a girl’s wonderland, the Giuseppe boutique at Palais Renaissance was littered with giant lollies and candied biscuits in bright cheery hues. But, the real bonbons in view were the Spring Summer 2009 sandals and heels.
Models with to-die-for gams trooped out in cut-out booties, and killer heels embellished with crystals. The people were fabulous and beautiful, the vibe was buzzing, we got style advice based on our shoe personalities. It was of course, another gorgeously put together Harper Bazaar’s event.
What in the world was I thinking not to have snapped a few pictures? It was probably the pretty heels at the corner, calling out to me. And so I brought it home! What’s a girl to do?
Show you tomorrow.

The braided flats I had been coveting for quite some time even before it reached the SG boutique had run out of my size, naturally. The boutique stocks only one pair per size, a smart strategy to ensure that you will rarely run into someone sporting the same pair of lovelies.
My plus-one had bailed last minute so I plenty of time to kill. The Giuseppe marketing lady asked me if I would like to take a polaroid with one of the SS09 pairs on. Of course! The nice SA serving me promptly produce a tan pair of flats with crystal embellishments. Very pretty. Ms. Shabnam very politely commented that it is a match made for my gold B. But to be honest, I only had eyes for this beauty:
Everyone also walked away with a free bottle of candy pink nail polish and a free Shape and Polish session at The Nail Room, Chip Bee Gardens. And a Giuseppe crystal-encrusted skull phone accessory (no way I can capture that nicely on my basic mobile phone camera).
All in all, a great night.
