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!

April 13, 2008 at 3:40 amha 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!

April 14, 2008 at 11:10 amI 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!

April 21, 2008 at 5:35 pmMy 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…

But I’ve bought another pair of non-Giseles this past weekend… I should stop 😛
