ferocious boots / this young lady had the cutest English accent

 and she really made a conscious effort to buy these boots because she just love them = $60

just found out that she is Susanna Lau, a 26-year old fashion blogger from London, the creator behind ( style bubble  ).  She was given front row seat star treatment at  Gucci’s benefit show in New York. in this picture she is modeling the boots in her blog. work it girl!!

below is her blog article about the visit 

I had a spent a good chunk of time at this stal, Nenenn 155.  They sell a really good selection of vintage shoes and bags and I devoted quite a bit of time to trying on these Michael Kors shearling camel leather boots that were going for $80 (I got them down to $60...) because they had some kind of an internal fleecy sock inside that's supposed to help you get your feet in but actually made things more tricky.  Good thing I did spend some time there as I had a good bit of banter with the owners who kept on insisting "I like you!  You're smart!  I like that".  Yes, I know it's probably the English accent that threw them but I'm such a sucker for the 'smart' compliment.  Jeers of "Hey Leng Lui (pretty girl in Cantonese)" in a Hong Kong street market don't really do it for me.  Call me 'smart' however and I'll be handing over some cash.  Idiotic, yes.  I know it's about to be sweltering and having my legs being encased in a pair of shearling boots isn't exactly on the summer agenda but I thought I'd be smart about the whole boot-buying situation and just pick up these fairly affordable ones to get the ball rolling.  The skies will probably send down some freak heat-wave during winter, won't they?

I also loved that the owners were bloggers too and the photo to the left is actually their Photoshop handiwork that they put on their blog illustrating customers' buys.  So I didn't have to hide my somewhat sneaky/suspicious-looking picture taking... imagine the day when blogging is universally understood and I'll be pondering a similar question to the Google/mobile thing... "What did we do before everyone was down with blogging?"
