About Ipanema sandals again!

April 12, 2008 Paris B 15 Comments

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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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 😛

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
