Jelly Gladiator

I am personally not a fan of the ballet jelly-shoe craze! Manila has been literally jelly shoe-hounded with that ballerina jelly shoe that everyone seems to own, from the sidewalk version to the the Gucci, Melissa's & Marc's. I admit I find it cute, but adding myself to the jelly population is already too much. But with the Jelly Gladiator, I cringe and prayed very hard to resist this temptation. I had this in my mind for over a week.

I know the the gladiator sandals has been around for god knows how long. Im sure fashion gurus are already vomiting, but surprisingly, this is continously being revolutionized, from the sky high, to the ankle-high, 1,2,3... straps, studded, and now the Jelly gladiators!

I'm sure the whole fashion scene is already evading this overkill. But just like everyone else, I find it insanely ridiculous how the gladiators look good in almost everything! I like it's tough exterior with all the straps and studs and how it cages one's foot no matter how ugly it is. I had to subscribe to this most especially, since summer is almost over and the heavy rains are about to come. This is the perfect "rainy-day shoes" without having my shoes soaked in water (which happened to my poor Zara flats, now quietly buried in my closet).

The Givenchy Lace up sandals (dream)...
