About.me

I found this marvellous website aplication About.Me a couple of weeks ago. Its basically the answer to lengthy email signatures. They help you to combine your multiple personalities aka profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Blogger, Tumblr, Flikr etc. Through a single webpage and url. Best of all, you get to display your creativity by designing your very own profile page. Some of the users simply have GORGEOUS pictures. Also, you will find some very inspirational characters from all over the world, immersing their lives in what they love.

Check out my profile at about.me/yvonne.han. Start creating your profile today and share with me!

P.S. All comments above is from my very honest review and in no way or other am I paid or reimbursed or remunerated or compensated for the above.

Ankle Boots

This is the result of online shopping & browsing! I found these GORGEOUS ankle boots. They give me a nostalgic feeling of winter, cold, leggings and opaque stockings. Sadly, I am in a see-no-buy position.

It's not intended that 3 out of 4 of 'em are suede. Personally, I am not a fan of Suede, especially when they come to shoes. Because there is a 9.9 out of 10 chance that they get ruined before the 25th day of purchase! In terms of pricing, unlike clothing, good shoes never come cheap. I would say these are considered to be 'affordable luxe'.



This pair of laced-up ankle boots looks very Alexander Wang: grunge but fashionable. Great for those days where you just want to slip on a pair of jeans and awesome fitting t-shirt! A hidden agenda of trying to dress down but looking awesome at the same time! 

This is definitely my personal favorite! The gold buckle gives the blue suede an added touch. And those flaps! Oh my gosh, don't even get me started.... I've even added this on my wallpaper. It looks simply regal when I unlock my Ipad and ta-da, it appears there! STARSSSSS for Alexander McQueen!

This pair of Herve Leger is another personal favourite of mine. Especially the cut-out, which definitely gives an added edge to the shoes. Minus point for me is the outer lining you see on the heels and sole. From my experience, this lining is most likely a paste-on & it will be torn, smudged and further torn the moment you start rubbing your shoes against those table or chair legs. Which, I always do.

This pair has an awesome sole! The military look! They have this in military green color too. But I'd prefer it in this beige color.
