Replies

diindiin (via contact form): I think Daikanyama 代官山 is nice and relaxed. If you wait a bit, I should get Lo-Fi Tokyo up before you go.

mariana (via contact form): Has Madeira changed since you went there? I’d like to visit again soon too.

Rosalind (via contact form): I made a mistake in the coding but it’s fixed now. Thank you for pointing it out.

gor (via contact form): Hello, it must be busy being a new mum. I live and work in London since I moved here a few years ago and now I’m married. Hong Kong’s weather sounds so strange.

KD: It’s actually an embroidery of a rose. I’m looking forward to wearing them with the leopard coat.

Graziella, barbara evina, read me…, Apple, louise: It’s hard for me to pick a favourite. The first pair I bought was the plaid ones though and the last are the velvet slippers but I wear the gold/silver brogues most often.

yuko: I don’t know if I’m a socks person since I’m without them 50% of the time! Maybe it’s the shoes I usually wear…

rollergirl: The plaid ones are from SS08. They were not stocked in London so I had to get them from Milan. Very comfortable indeed, I think they’re a great fit for my feet. They must be for yours too.

clairegrenade: I have to admit, it’ll be hard for me to live with just five pairs of shoes though…

MJ: Buy! Buy! Buy!

Viv: I think price points are around £160 – £200 for the lace-up oxford styles, lower for the loafer styles and higher for boots. They are made in Italy, not England like the men’s shoes. I like Tod’s styles too and may get a pair when the weather turns warmer. I hope it wasn’t too distracting for your studies!

Asiye: Nice to hear from you!

Steve: Has Susie taken the plunge yet? A lot of the sizes were sold out very quickly in the sale.

Yen: Did I tell you I’ll be back in June?

melly: Psychic! Are they available in Singapore yet?

ellie king: I’m sure Prada will get there, eventually… They are concentrating on expanding in the UK and Europe at the moment.

may: Oh, back to reality…

gracia: I love it when people share my enthusiasm for objects.

Vicki: I’ll look forward to see which of the shoes will tempt you enough to get them!

xymon: Just regular, Church’s doesn’t seem to be offering a custom service unlike Trickers.

hannah: I was obsessed with them before I bought them.

Tricia: It’s wrapping tissue, I’m glad you noticed.

    great pictures!! what’s the name of the dish at the last picture? It looks so good!!
    Have a fun in Paris, Tommy!!

  2. Viv says:

    Oh, then Church’s aren’t as expensive as I had previously imagined (or was I thinking of bespoke men’s something or other?). I’m glad to hear that, although going to a store is still not possible at the moment.

    They *were* time consuming, but in a good way, since we had a long weekend anyhow. I got somewhere midway 2006, and exceeded the bandwith for a while! But it recovered.

    Last thing! That’s a neat dish rack! Where did it come from? Here in in the U.S. we only have the flat, tub-like kind, for the most part.

  3. graziella says:

    Have lotsa fun in Paris! the chocolate espresso fondant is making me so hungry right now. Cool outfit Tommy ! I love the whole look with the visvims and then your addition of red mittens.

  4. Jacqie says:

    speaking of random, i had a dream last night that you and i went shopping for shoes. i found these fantastic grey plaid repetto lace up shoes. i was lobbying hard for you to buy a pair of crazy trainers, but they ended up not being the right size. random, yes?

  8. Steve says:

    Not yet, her funds were obilterated by other purchases!

    What did you think of the Warhol exhibition? There was just so much to look at…a days worth of video footage…I left with a headache but was happy.
