And The Pretty Problem

The title of my entry today is from one of my new favorite TV series' called "2 Broke Girls"! It stars Kat Dennings as Max, who comes from a poor working-class family, and Caroline played by Beth Behrs, who was born rich but is now down on her luck, working together at a Brooklyn restaurant. Each episode ends with a running tally of the money they earned out of the $250,000 they need to open a cupcake business.

Coincidentally, the title also is very apt for the trouble I went through earlier tonight while I was trying to pick out shoes from my forever favorite department store, SM. Haha. They had just recently released the fashion week collection and I rushed over before they ran out of stock (which is usually quick). I was leaning towards the Rajo Laurel collection, but decided not to purchase them because it wasn't really my style, however, it was NOT a disappointment at all! Rajo's work, like always, was spectacular :) Here are a couple of the stuff I purchased earlier :) Pardon the poor quality of the photos, I only had my phone with me and I'm really lazy to reshoot the products right now. :)


The perfect caption for this photo would really have to be "The Pretty Problem"! I really can't tell which one's prettier, so I picked out the dominantly grey one first then I'll probably come back for the other pair tomorrow. :)


The side view of the platforms. They look like their color palettes were just reversed, but actually the dominantly yellow one is yellow and silver not grey -- which I found to be a tad bit tacky, making it my 2nd choice :(

And the comparison... 


The lighting doesn't give justice to it's real color which is a pretty turquoise! My favorite :)


Better! Now you can clearly see the color :) The details are a pinkish orangish tone, I'm not sure if salmon or coral (my friend Cha would know cause she's obsessed with that color) haha :)


This beautiful floral dress caught my eye because of the vintage vibe you get from the print. But, the back part is what really got me!


Beautiful, right? :) I'm a sucker for unconventional back detailing!


I remember finding one like this in Topshop a couple of years back, but of course, I'm not one to spend anything more than 1000 for a dress. Luckily SM always comes up with cheaper, and in my opinion, better alternatives :)

Hope you guys enjoyed this entry! :) By the way, I'm trying to start up a make up portfolio or whatever you call it with me as the Make Up Artist :) Haha. If you'd like to be a model, or if you know someone who could potentially be a model, just tweet me @CarlieTops :) XO!
