Whoever said that writing the desires of your heart holds power is right. I've been quite lucky in the shopping forefront recently with the streak beginning from the white sneakers I got from Ralph Lauren, THE Breton top from Muji and the latest acquisition to join my shoe family, these Chelsea boots from United Arrows. United Arrows has got to be one of my favourite specialty stores in Japan. They carry different international brands as well as their own labels like Odette e Odile, Green Label and BEAUTY&YOUTH. They are a bit on the expensive side but only parallel to the quality they promise. If I could marry myself and get a wedding registry, it would be there.
I got the boots as a gift from me to me (among a few other things) with zero hesitation after almost a month of cyber and in-store stalking. They're gonna take some more breaking into but with the amount of walking that I do and the warm leathery comfort that they give, consider it handled (as Olivia Pope would say).
Quality shoes are always worth the splurge but thank goodness the whole birthday frenzy in my head has died down. Time to double up on the savings because I hear sleigh bells ringing whenever I walk around Sakae and whenever I see Takashimaya adorned with faux poinsettias and bright yellow fairy lights.
