Crazy B'Day Kicks

This weekend just past I celebrated the very special milestone of turning 21!

Although I only had a small get-together with close family and friends, I wanted to be able to go all-out with my outfit for the occasion, so I decided on a 'Streets of Tokyo' theme and advised all of my guests to dress in their craziest Tokyo street style inspired outfits. 

Everyone looked hilariously great, and hopefully I'll have some party piccies up soon, but the real stars of my outfit were my ridiculous (but amazing) flatform sneakers. 

I spied them on Topshop a month or two ago and just couldn't help myself, they were too perfect to resist. I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled across these vibrant rainbow shoelaces in a box of my old stuff just a day before the party, it was the crazy combo of my dreams. 

As if one pair of crazy shoes wasn't enough for the night, my older brother gave me these amazing blue/green animal print flatform sandals by KENZO, which I had been lusting after forever - I'm kind of still pinching myself. 

MoonSpoon Saloon x Buffalo x Topshop polka dot flatform sneakers from Topshop.

Similar rainbow shoelaces (but with bonus leopard print!) available from Kawaii Kids.

Kenzo wild platform sandals (gifted by my generous brother) from Opening Ceremony.

Gifts from Afar.

While I was at home stressing over midsemester exams last week, my jet-setting parents were off living it up on a short trip to Tokyo! My parents usually don't dare attempt to buy me gifts while they're away, my taste is a complete mystery to them and it's usually better for everyone to just avoid the inevitable disappointment of giving/receiving a way off the mark present. But this time Mum was shopping with a group of other mothers who were all buying gifts to shower their daughters with so I guess she joined in to avoid the guilt, and I'm glad she did!

Tokyo is #1 on my list of places where I would like to spend all of my money. The infinite range of eclectic items practically has me drooling, and Mum did a pretty great job picking our some cute things for me. 

She nabbed me two pairs of super bright, cropped, printed pants from UNIQLO, and heaps of socks in adorable prints. The sheer ones with fruits and stars are my absolute favourites and I can't wait to take them for a test drive with my oxfords and jelly sandals!

Thanks Mum!

maow.
