A couple of days after I got back, I fell sick with the flu! This means I still have not made it to work and most of my days are spent in bed sleeping. Obviously this is not conducive to fashion blogging seeing as nobody really wants to see me in my pajamas and glasses. Meanwhile, here are some of the beautiful things I picked up on my travels and handcarried with me through various airports. On another note, does anyone have any tricks for making shoes which are one size too big fit? I've been using all sorts of gel liners from the Party Feet range but it's just not working. Shall I give it up?
A pair of colourful bowls from Hong Kong
Ube (purple yam) hopia from Sorsogon, Philippines
Lotus Seed mooncakes from Hong Kong
Flowering tea from Hong Kong
Capiz shell tealight holders from Manila, Philippines
Pretty embroidered compacts from Hong Kong
Three-tiered beaded necklace from Manila, Philippines
Notepad, postcards and notecards from Manila, Philippines

oh wow, you found some amazing items! as far as big shoes go, my only suggestion is to find a cobbler and see if they can put something permanent in there for you (a good shoe maker should have suggestions). i had a similar issue w/the fantastic frye ankle boots i bought last winter and i only wore them like 3 times b/c they were too big! i couldn't find a solution and had to sell them :(
ReplyDeleteI love the bowls and the necklace!
ReplyDeleteI love all this little treasures! They are lovely and I'm sure they help you remember the great things you have seen in those amazing places!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you brought back some amazing things! I hope you're feeling better soon. I can't think of any way to make bigger shoes fit... Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHi, get well soon :)
ReplyDeleteIn shoe shops you can buy soles. You put them inside the shoe. You've got leather ons, they are really comfy to wear them in your shoes. Good luck!
And I love your purchases!
Mooncakes are yummy!

Are they closed toe shoes? Because at the store I used to work at what we used to suggest for people buying kids shoes - buying them big before they've grown into them - is that you stuff them with cotton in the toe, it should mould round your toes and stuff too. Just remember to change it once in a while lol.
ReplyDeletethose colorful bowls and floral plate is so pretty and nice! i also have one like that as my jewelry pot.
ReplyDeleteby the way that ube hopia looks yummy! i love hopia, esp mongo hopia hehe. my mom gave me a compact one like that too, the embroidered pattern is my fave about them. and that beaded necklace is very Pinoy! i love it! :)
