Shopping: Summer Shoes

Summer is the best season to visit your most beloved nail salon.. where you pamper your fugly toes and get them ready to flaunt in the street, beach, amusement park, or wherever your summer getaway is.

If you have boat/deck shoes, sandals, espadrille, wedges...this is the time to bring them out!

H&M is one of the best choice if you're out of the budget and still want to look stylish this season.

While ZARA on the other hand have massive choices and yet not damaging your wallet

Band of Outsider x Sperry boat shoe

Sebago boat shoe

Crocs boat shoe

If boat shoes we're talking about... well I really like the collaboration of Band of Outsiders with Sperry, Sebago, and you wouldn't believe that Crocs designed good looking boat shoes!

while I'm in Hong Kong last week... I found these gorgeous colorful shoes from Kapok in K-11 Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui

If you have lots and lots of budget then choose Louis Vuitton
