Things That Caught my Eye at Charles and Keith

Things That Caught my Eye at Charles and Keith - Part 2: Shoe Spotlight

I went to Charles and Keith to look for shoes. True to form, C&K delivers sleek designs that balance comfort, modernity, and a touch of chic. Here are a few standouts that caught my eye:

Yara Patent Mary Jane Flats in Cream, Red & Black

Mary Janes are making a comeback, and C&K’s version feels grown-up yet playful. The square toe modernizes the look, while the bold red option adds just the right pop of color. I can see the cream pair for day events, the red for statement outfits, and the black as a versatile staple.

These won't suit my petite frame, though. 😁

Knotted Accent Slide Sandals in Black & White

These are the ones I actually brought home! 🤍🖤 The gold knot detail elevates the minimalist design, making them look far more expensive than their price tag. They’re perfect for quick errands, casual meetups, or even pairing with linen trousers for a polished weekend look.

This is the only pair I packed for Vigan! It's really versatile that it went nicely with all my outfits!

Lu Patent Leather Bow Slide Sandals in White & Burgundy

A bit more playful, these bow slides are for the days when you want your footwear to do the talking. The glossy finish makes them eye-catching, while the oversized bow detail feels feminine yet bold. I’d style these with a flowy skirt or crisp cropped jeans.

I also liked the strapped version of this, but they didn't have my size. Maybe I'll try the slides next time.

Block Heel Ankle-Strap Sandals

Simple but elegant, these ankle-strap sandals are the kind of shoe you reach for on repeat. The tan pair is casual yet polished, while the black can go from office to evening. These would look great with wide-leg trousers, summer dresses, or even tailored shorts.

I really like the tan pair. It would go nicely with my my bag that has the same exact colors!

Charles & Keith’s shoe collection proves that you don’t need to sacrifice comfort for style. Whether you’re after playful accents, everyday staples, or versatile classics, there’s something here to slip effortlessly into your wardrobe.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
