Meet my newest pair of shoes.
If you’re a non-Twilighter (and probably wondering about the basis of the design), that’s a consolidated artwork based on the cover of four books comprising the Twilight Saga. That was handpainted by the very talented Dr. Nanette Catigbe from Cagayan De Oro, a fellow Twilighter. The pair is so amiable! If you meet her in person, she actually shimmers, and so comfy.
My heart literally jumped when I opened the package last night. I didn’t have the chance to change into a denim or more appropriate wear and immediately tried it and took photos. I’m so excited for weekend. If only my office would allow me to come in a corporate suit with this slip ons, I’d do. Can I just say that I felt I was smiling while sleeping last night?

Can’t wait to use it for long walks.

Nice shoes
But I don’t think I’ll ever understand the obsession of Twilight.

Heehee, unbelievable but yes. It’s a sweet virus to some/many. Gladly I’m in a more manageable phase now.

I love that reaction! I was like that when my friend showed me the photo of her own version of Twilight slip on. And I couldn’t help to have one as well. We’ll wear our pairs when we meet this December. Hahaha.

It would be shown on November 21. You may check from Twilight site the playdate for Singapore. Ack! I’m so behind heroes. I have not even watched 25% of the first season.

She’s really, really good. A lady doctor, an artist, and a Twilight angel. She makes artwork for different stuff, not just Twilight merchandise. Let me know if you’re interested.

This and the other items being made by Dr. Nanette are reasonably priced.

Artwork from Dr. Nanette (based in Cagayan De Oro). A close friend based in Makati ordered Twilight slip on and bags from her. I saw the photos and wanted to get slip on also. The other items are amazing.

Oh, how lovely! I have a thing for mismatched earrings, and lately I’ve been fancying mismatched shoes.

Sometimes mismatching is cool.
The pair was intentionally mismatched to accommodate my request to incorporate the designs from all the 4 books (cover).
kayni 10.29.08 at 2:05 pm
all i can say is “wow.” that’s a pretty neat pair of shoes. it would be interesting to see you wearing that with your work suit…lol.

I am so tempted to bring these to the office and at least wear it when I’m at my work station/cube. Heehee. I actually have a photo of me wearing this pair with my suit. It’s coooool.
Rach (Heart of Rachel) 10.29.08 at 2:19 pm
Those are cool sneakers. I’ve heard so much about the series but have not read a single one. I’m looking forward to the movie.
