one boy, two feet, three cities

greetings from taiwan! well it has been a three-month silence but the silence has not been without reason. the second half of 2013 has just been packed to the brim and thus it took time away from reading and more importantly, writing about fashion. well for the final post of 2013, i am going to tell you a story.

a boy was mindlessly surfing the internet one day and he came across a pair of gold-coloured shoes. it glittered and sparkled. that instant, he knew he had to get it so he went to the nearest flagship to enquire about it. however, the buyers didn't bring it in (at least according to the sales people) so he was left to dream about the glistering gold. 

months later, he went to another country. this time round, he was wandering around aimlessly and stumbled across the store. he walked in to ask about the pair of shoes but the people at the store seemed reluctant to serve him so he settled in his heart that the shoes were never meant to be.

another half a year later, he was shopping in a third city. a total stranger walked past him carrying a paper bag bearing the logo of the shoes that he so desired. so with a little tinge of hope, he walked into the store and saw the following:


no gold shoes... after chatting with the ladies at the store, (to cut the long story short)


so here are a few lessons that a boy with two feet learnt after searching through three cities:

1) never lose hope and have patience
2) the answer to our desires can be yes, no or not yet
3) always work hard so that you can afford that pair of dream shoes (i actually said i'll take the shoes before asking about the price tag)
4) i have an incurable love for shoes

i'm in bliss crossing from 2013 to 2014... i hope you are too! happy new year and lots of virtual hugz to you!

fash'on... BAM!
