“Too much is not enough”
When comes to shoes – Indeed…TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH! And that is the slogan of Beverly Feldman renowned for its distinctive blings blings or bold animal prints or classy dinner heels that woman will turn weak at sight! And I am proud to declare I have two pairs of Beverly Feldman although if given a choice, Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboulin will be god sent. 
I started my shoe-buying habit in 2001 when I stepped into the commercial world. The humble beginning were made of Vincci, unknown spots-on brands during my retail retreats and X:odus which was a hit in Singapore then. And as I progressed, my collection rose to higher quality and ‘uncommon’ shoes from the international designer’s corner of C.K Tangs, Hue which houses the best brands of all excellent designs/quality of which Pura Lopez my Achilles’ heel and Pedder Red for it’s quirky style. To date, my expensive collections are still in good condition that has lasted me as I aged.
My early days of my shoes collection consisted mainly slips-in and flats only. Of which most of them were pointy…I lourve pointy…for no particular reason, and it is still today! The only change I have seen was that I am beginning to embrace the heels which I thought I could not handle them gracefully and my shoes collection are now made up by Charles & Keith which was such a common sight at street. Being peeve spotted on the street with the same pair of C&K shoes, but I still cannot help not buying…they cost a quarter compared to my usual pair, can you say No???
Stock-taking my count of shoes, I have closed to 150 pairs! Opps, I am not contesting against Imelda Marcoses. I am still figuring out how to tidy my powerpoint shoes presentation which I proudly showcase my collection and it also serves as a reminiscent of my past and present – The indulgent big spender, the sentimental and insane collector.

And here’s a glimpse of a quarter of my collection which was taken recently as I tidy the shoe rag in my living room.
There other precious babies are hidden in my room! I am looking forward to a family portrait soon. And yes, I am aiming for a pair of Asics Onitsuka Tigers to be added on the list…
