Over a lunch conversation last week, I realized that for the
past 5 months I have been on a shoe diet! Yup, as shoeholic as I am, I have successfully
managed to avoid adding a single pair of shoes to my collection!
Apart from the bright colour-blocking (you know it’s my favourite trend by far!), the unusual even shape of these platforms makes them really stand out. I’ve seen this kind of platforms (especially from Asian labels and blogshops) before but these are much more interesting, fashion forward and are handmade of a much better quality. They are edgy, bold, fun and would make a great addition to brighten up any dull outfit this spring.
Although I always see cool stuff here and there, I have decided
that unless it is something different from anything I have, cooler
or bolder I’m not buying it.
With my avant-garde heelless Marc Jacobs, blinding neon
yellow platforms and edgy (and practically un-wearable) McQueens, I doubted I
would find a pair which is any bolder – that is until I stumbled over these Moccasin
platforms from Malaysian-based label Chic Yamada. Foot candy at its best!

How to wear them? Just keep the rest of the outfit simple
and let them stand out! I would mix them with a faded cut-out denim or shorts
and a simple pattern tee (striped or polka-dot) for a cool combination or just a plain tank and
some chunky colourful jewellery.

If high platforms and colour blocking is too much for you to take in
one pair, there are the Mary Jane platforms which are as unique and bright yet less ‘out
there’.
Another reason why I love these beauties? Well, they add
inches to your height without the pain!!! What else could you ask for?
Chic Yamada Moccasin and Mary Jane platforms cost S$119
and are available on Asia Fashion Inc.
