It is with a not-so-heavy heart that I am finally parting ways with my comfy fitflops in all colors imaginable. 😛 Matagal-tagal na ring pinag-iinitan ng mga anak ko my choice of footwear, lol. So now, they are rejoicing with my decision & saying good riddance to my trusty pairs. But sorry, I’m holding on to my Birkinstocks for a while pa! Sandals, after all, are meant for our hot, humid, all-year round sunny weather.

As you know, I am blessed to have personal stylists at home. ;)) Having 2 fashionable girls mean never having to leave home looking matronly & dowdy hehe. At my ripe old age, they dress me up with a youthful vibe in various hip & fun clothing. And yup, lately even in footwear -sneakers to be exact, which is the trend now. Kaya goodbye fitflops!

We 3 gals have the same shoe size, so I get to borrow their precious loot from time to time. But my feet are wide, so not all footwear in their shoe cabinets I find comfy. I revel in their sneakers though as those give me the most comfort when walking long distance (5 meters long distance na para sa akin lol). I have taken to Ate’s Adidas Ultra Boost & she finally gave me her limited edition black pair, to keep in my own closet. Nasuya na yata sa kahihiram ko haha.

Men’s shoes are better suited for my wide feet. This ultra boost is SO lightweight, I swear! <3 I’m totes in love with it.

Not content with just the black, I asked my babyson to look for a solid white so I can bring at least 2 to our coming trip. Skimming over Ate’s itinerary, I am seeing lots & lots of walking. Never-ending! @_@ Mukhang hindi kakayanin ng powers ko if no ultra boost literally to help me get around. 😛

He had to search far & wide for this pair. White is so hard to find & sold out in all online & retail stores. My Babyson had to buy these from a reseller whom we visited all the way in his greenhills store! Nag-iisang pares na lang, at double the price huhu! Thank you for finding, my darling! :-*

A hearty lunch reward at Gloria Maris after for finding my much-coveted white ultraboosts! \m/

Hoping these can get me through everyday walking. Shoes, don’t fail me ok!

I have also decided to bring 2 lightweight bags to alternate instead of my heavier leather totes. Kawawa naman kasi si Kap my Kap if he has to lug my bag around on top of his own. So now I come prepared. Europe, bring it on!

I aim to travel light for the sake of my lower back & arthritic knees even if it kills me! 😛 Was able to buy my BAOBAO online & this lovely blush-pink Longchamp tote in Duty Free, on sale! \m/ What’s best is I don’t have to worry about keeping them clean all the time as they are both waterproof. Kaya pwede ilapag kahit saan, unlike my other bags na may sarili pang upuan.

Clothes, check. Shoes, check. Bags, check. Yep, I’m all set. 😉
