If the Internet was my closet - so-bad-they're-good-shoes - Dolce&Gabbana, Miu Miu, Simone Rocha

SANAYI 313
I was perusing the Matches fashion sale (as you do) and I couldn't help but notice the trend for super ugly but strangely compelling footwear...
Mongolian sherling covered vamp anyone?
BROTHER VELLIES
Look at these glittery - Miu Miu - BEAUTIES
Well these look comfortable at least...
SIMONE ROCHA
These I actually want pretty bad.... DOLCE & GABBANA

And my own contribution to the so-ugly-they're-awesome shoe trend
My ASOS silver pointy heels with pastel pink pom poms :-)

This post wasn't sponsored by matches, I just happened to be scrolling through their sale and had to share with you! I think I'll save my money.

What about you guys? Anything grab your fancy?

Travel - Wellington Jazz Festival 2017 - Interior Decor, Street art, Fooood... taxidermy?



Flight in - Flight Out.
Wellington is hilly!


First Day we walked around the Waterfront
Oriental Parade, passed the boat sheds.


Had some delicious Spicy Popcorn Chicken from Kangsta
Korean Street food Vendor in Capital Market


Caught a ridiculously funky experimental Jazz band - Love Love - at Caroline


Caroline's Interior Decoration was different...

 
Sunset - No filter!


On the last day we went to the Market along the harbour.
  • There was this cute marionette lady painting a young girls portrait - so talented!
  • I bought some lolly cake (kiwi classic) and we had a coffee at the Mac's Bar - I love the upside down lampshades they use as lighting fixtures.

We had a fantastic action-packed 4 nights in our nations capital!

Let us end on some street art!
