If I can’t look like Gisele Bundchen or make it to Ipanema, Brazil, at least I’ll have her sandals!
Joining the ranks of Kimberly, Tine and a whole host of women worldwide, I present my latest acquisition – Gisele Bundchen Ipanema sandals. Yes, I capitulated to the hype.
Why not, when I picked them up for RM56.90? :)
Spotted these at a store called Novo in Bangsar Village II and decided I’d get them because they are cheaper than RM69.90 which is the going price at Studio R and Royal Sporting House stores. Yes my mind works in strange wonderful ways. I reckon this is an older designs but I like the colour because it won’t show up dirt so easily!
Thus far, they are comfy on the feet but pinch a little between the toes. What I like is that they are noiseless, so I can creep around without making a sound. I don’t like flip flops because of erm… the flip flopping sound it makes so I prefer to wear sandals to slippers.
For the price I paid, they’d better last me longer than a year!
aiyo…i think all us fashionbeauty bloggers are going to own the same stuffs if we keep on influencing each other like this!! haha…..i’m trying my hardest to stay away from checking them out for fear that i too will succumb!
Erm, congratulations? :S
ha you caved in! well, that’s actually not expensive for sandals… I can’t wear such sandles as they’d kill my toe, especially the 2 biggest ones. also, there is not enough cusion for my easily cracked feet. pretty though. what a pity!
i hope the sandals last for you!
*chants to self* not going to give in, not going to give in, not going to give in, not going to give in. :P
I look at it from a logical point of view. It’s the middle of fall now, I don’t get a chance to wear them much.
Besides, I need new makeup brushes! Yah, those are more important than summery footwear!
*chants to self* not going to give in, not going to give in, not going to give in, not going to give in. :P
hehehe it looks great! Mine is in brown (the brown gold combi) and I’ve been using it for a year plus now! It’s so worth it as its super comfortable and it lasts! :)
Ah-hah! You caved! Very similar to mine; mine’s lighter brown.
Yay yay, join the club! Geekchic, quick, give in! Hahaha :D
EEyer, those are REALLY nice–yes, indeed, I would consider it a “savings”. HAHA!
I KNOW you are gonna cave in eventually … Those are so cute! You two are going to be so happy together! Hahaha!
*Giggles* Thanks girls. I guess we all knew it was coming wasn’t it? ;)
I can’t give in! Mustn’t give in! Shouldn’t give in! Erm. Maybe I can get a pair and fudge it as a necessity? LOL.
But with all the bloggers I’m reading touting the wonders of the Ipanema, I am so sorely tempted to get myself a pair too!
I love those sandals but on green or orange :-)
grrrreetings from Kansas!
Hi, i stumbled upon ur blog while googling for the Ipanema sandals. Im actually looking for the sandal like your design. Im just wondering wen did u buy it and do u tink Novo still have the design?? I practically called all the Studio R, RHS and Novo in KL and they told me its not available anymore. TQ!!
My sandals are begging to be replaced too…should I succumb? You know the Ipanema sandals are being sold at a good cause too. RM3 goes to charity or something…
I’ve seen more designs of the Gisele Ipanemas at RSH in KLCC.
But I’ve bought another pair of non-Giseles this past weekend… I should stop :P
