The Day Your Love Went Away

The day was Sunday It was so bright yet so grey You came into the room like a stranger With wild eyes, it lingered You opened your mouth and spoke So softly as if you'd choke Then came the news so grim You're leaving me, not him The morning it happened You look casually dampened Your loveless glare Made me truly aware Like a dry, withering clove I have lost your love Your touch was stiff Your mind was adrift Your senses were absent And my heart was in fragments Seven years, wasted Seven years, annihilated I would never forget The day your love went away Like a painful, losing bet This day will always stay -K 19 August 2014 Bangkok juicyword@gmail.com Instagram: @kby87

Giuseppe Zanotti Summer 2013 Sneakers

This pair was bought almost two months back and I had completely forgotten about posting them here.  Thought I'd share with all of you this camo London sneakers by Giuseppe Zanotti for their Spring/Summer 2013 collection - because they are ridiculously sick! I had my eyes on a similar pair without the metal studs but with Zanotti's signature metal Velcro strap. Sadly, that particular pair didn't make it to our shore.... but this one does!  This pair comes in camo-print suede leather with metallic gold leather trimmings and matching gold zippers and metal studs on the sides. The shoe laces are black and so does the rubber sole. The asking price for these sneakers are listed on its website at US$825 or so, but it was sold for twice the price in Giuseppe Zanotti boutique here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  That pretty much answers why people shop overseas. Only 6 of these babies are available in Malaysia and happy to say, I snagged the first o...

Prada Levitate Brogues

Prada 'Levitate' brogues in grey/silver I figured, my humble shoes collection wouldn't be complete without a pair (or two) from Prada. Coincidentally, there's a particular pair that I really, really liked this season.  So, I gathered this was a sign from the universe for me to walk into Prada store and get one of its shoes. Introducing the Levitate brogues from the Spring/Summer 2013 men's runway collection. It's a no-brainer how these brogues got its name. The thick, clear plastic sole makes it seems, well, levitating.  Made of brushed calf leather with perforated wingtip design, it comes in four colours: black, white, brown and this, greyish silver with matching shoe laces.  I always wear shoes in 42.5 or 43. However, I can fit in nicely into size 41 of this without any discomfort or pain. That's something, isn't it? I hereby embed an unboxing video I had made for this pair a couple of weeks ago so you can get a better pic...

B.C.: Before Carrie

Just when you thought you've known everything about Carrie Bradshaw, her three besties and everything in between about their lives, here comes another pre-instalment of the famous Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell.  Because, why not? Milk all you can out of the famous book/TV-series/movies while you still can.  Normally, I don't read chick-lits. I found these books, ' Carrie Diaries ' and its sequel ' Summer and the City ' during the Big Bad Wolf sale last year and decided - hey, why not since I was already a huge fan of the series and the movies.  Plus, they were only at RM8 each. Hardcover too.  The book brings us back to 1980s when Carrie Bradshaw was a 17-year-old high school student aspiring to be a writer and get accepted into Brown. At the same time, having a love-hate relationship with the new boy in school, Sebastian Kydd whilst maintaining friendship with her three best friends, Maggie, Mouse and Walt.  The firs...

Go Crazy or Go Home

I was totally in love with these JS Instinct the moment I saw Nicki Minaj wore them couple of months back. I think they're really cute - in crazy cute kinda way.  I'm starting to like JS Instinct even more now after buying the first pair because THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE. You can imagine what they do to your feet just by looking at those thick cushioning and extra large tongue.  Simply comfortable - like wrapping hotel pillows to your feet.  So, as you can see from the pictures, the right and the left one aren't really identical to one another but the color combo are (so that onlookers and passers-by know that you're actually wearing the correct pair). While some might think it's tad too much to wear crazy sneakers like this, I actually like them for this because they are SO CRAZY! Jeremy Scott has never failed to impress me. Never .  juicyword@gmail.com Twitter: @kyeberry

Kenzo Kenzo Kenzo!

I dedicate this post to everyone who still thinks Kenzo only makes perfume (Yep, I'm talking to you). Fellow readers, meet Kenzo 'Kenyon' sneakers in burgundy.  We were passing by a Kenzo boutique here in Kuala Lumpur when we saw this pair on display (along side another one in black with the same yellow logo-stitched felt tongue). It was reasonably priced (under RM2k) with 30% off. I don't know about you but for us, these are all the signs for us to buy the shoes. Like, right there ASAP. This pair is in burgundy nappa leather with thick white rubber sole and velcro strap. Is it comfortable? Very much.  I really love this whole new fresh look of Kenzo (since they got themselves new designers - the dynamic duo of Opening Ceremony). The box, the tissue wrapper and the upbeat, younger look of Kenzo are really growing on us. Plus, it's not ridiculously-priced as any other luxury fashion house. You can get their shoes (like this one) for under R...
