Gucci Brown Leather Thong Sandals
This ranks top on my favourites of my shoe collection. I have worn these comfortable sandals so many times as not only does it fit a lot of looks (especially short shorts and my python Gucci bag!), it is practical for singapore's hot weather. Strutting down orchard road with these sandals also gives off the holiday vibe, like I am vacationing in St. Tropez:-P (My dream holiday destination!)
The design of the sandal is simple and yet classy. Several thin leather straps are held together by a burnished metal ring with a leather and wood sole. A toe ring allows your toe to slip in, and a buckled heel strap holds the sandals comfortably in place. Reminds me of ancient 'roman' footwear design yet it is contemporary and relevant now. Usage of thin leather straps makes the sandals look light and sophisticated. Having worn these for a while now, I begin to fear I will expend the lifespan of this sandal soon. Last weekend's wet weather had it all soaked and the sole went soft...I had to run home to dry it immediately to avoid breaking the sole in two. Yikes, what a close call.
Now I will be taking good care of this pair of sandals so I get to enjoy it for a long long while.:-) Frida Gianini did an amazing job for her first Gucci menswear collection. It was my favourite mens collection so far. There are just too many things that I 'lust' and also own from this collection.:-P
Retail price: SGD $710. Where to buy: Gucci Boutique at Paragon

I found your site and had to stop and drool. I've now been all the way through it, and oh lovely...
I found your blog because I was trying to find a picture of a Gucci bag (brown suede, saddle bag shaped) which I saw in Siam Paragon today (Bangkok). I couldn't find it on your blog, but OMG I have to have that orange suede Philip Lim bag.
The Gucci was for my husband, but when he heard it was suede, he worried it might be a step too far from his comfort zone! I don't think so.
Anyway, I'm linking your blog to my blog because being the bag slut I am, I WILL BE BACK.

Hi JJ, I think I sought of know which gucci bag you are talking about. If you check my blog, there is a python skin gucci bag that I have...are you referring to this design but in brown suede? I have seen that before, it was in the stores here in Singapore and a while ago, on sale on gucci.com. check www.men.style.com and look for the fashion runway pictures. They have pics there!
