Gladiator in Ballerina by Vivienne Westwood




My Italian teacher Vieri Simoni, (Ah! Yes! it is his birthday tomorrow. I should not forget to wish him Happy Birthday) By the way, he used to tell me that it is very normal in Italy that Italian men tend to look at the girls from head to toe so obivously and so amazingly. HaHaHa! I was not used to the way they look at me and my friends. But Vieri continues, "You will feel ugly when you go back to Jakarta or Shanghai when no one is staring at you like that anymore." I was laughing so hard, so do my friends.

Now that I am already in Shanghai..... I thought again of what he said... He is right! No one here in China looking at me like how the Italian men did. Yea...he is right I feel ugly, especially when it rains almost everyday here in Shanghai. The rain ruins your hair you know that! Anyway... as I said, I feel ugly everyday BUT not today! As I walk to campus, I see some girls and women were staring at my feet then they go to my upper body then making an eye contact with me. At first I didn't notice until a woman poked my shoulder and she spoke Chinese with me "Ni zai na li mai ni de xie zi?(where did you get your shoes?)" and I replied "What!!! ah! shen me?!" SO......... It was my shoes that all the girls were staring at! Ah obviously these shoes are adorable aren't they?

As I entered the class, 4 classmates (Jessica, Effie, Zoe, and Tina) were asking about my shoes. I think they like them too.

These shoes are rubber made, it is very strong plus comfortable plus very pretty! =) And perfect for this raining weather and it is very easy to clean! Only 1 thing is not so good about this pair of shoes... they are rubber therefore no air ventilation. However you still can wear an underneath socks for flat shoes. You can get these pair of shoes at Vivienne Westwood called the Ballerina. They come in beige, red, black, silver, green, yellow, and blue.
