Upstaged by the shoes!

This is so funny. Here I was all primped and feted, and all everyone wanted to know was where the shoes came from!! Seriously, you have no idea how many emails I got asking about those shoes. I should be offended! Heh.

Well, for the record dear readers, the shoes are Vialis, a brand from Barcelona. Gimme Shoes in San Francisco carries them. I have no idea about London, sorry. This is the link to the Vialis website. (Thanks Jonher for the pointer.)

They are not only cute but super comfortable, which is why I practically ruined them walking around Paris. I just got a new pair from the same brand, a cute red one to replace my other cute red pair of Camper, which, incidentally, was also ruined walking around Paris this last trip.

Also just so you know, the dress is Katayone Adeli, and the bag, Orla Kiely. I should get these people to pay me for ad space. ha ha.

P.S. And in case you're wondering if I was always this frivolous. Um, yes. I guess.

Sweetie, please replace "frivolous" with "fabulous" or "fashionable" in that last scentence. Thank you...

Hi
How can you pay so little attention to one of the oldest and most cultured cuisines; The Chinese. I live in Beijing where there are 40,000 or so restaurants and 15.000.000 or so potential customers. Compared to the French cuisine I think objectively the cuisine here is more advanced in cutting techniques, ingredients and preparations. Why do you think there are so many people here. Food is inherent to the Chinese culture and time spent preparing and nurturing food is much more in comparison to any other cuisine. Please come to Beijing and check it out. You might be suprised....

Johner: Thanks for the link.

Rod: That's pretty simple. I write about my experience and what I know. I simply don't know that much about Chinese cuisine, nor have I been to China since '95.

I eat a lot of Chinese food though. If you read that article on the Observer you'd see that more than half of the stuff I showed Jay in SF was Chinese.

cheers,
Pim

Where is the pic of the Alaia dress?! I would love to see it but can't find it anywhere!

Hi Pim - I must say I love your shoes, jeans, bag and more than anything, your beautiful ankles! I'm hoping to visit Barcelona soon, I'll definitely check this shop, thank you.
