Feminine Cafe - what's in the box ?

Are they macaroons ?  Cake perhaps ?

Well hurry up and open the box will you ?

Tadaaaaa....

shoes ! Chunky denim criss cross platform shoes to be exact .

Am I boring you ? Lol ...too bad .

For those faintly interested , Feminine Cafe is a Japanese brand with a real brick and mortar presence in the Land of the Rising Sun . Their autumn booties are the most popular product rather than the platform shoes below . While I did try the booties out , I found that they did not suit my age , ( it'll look great on a young girl in her 20s but I'm fast approaching 50 ) so I settled for this .

Every single one of their designs are as cute and sexy as they claim to be . When I first spotted them , I let out a gasp because well , you know how impossible it is to shop without a care in the world in Japan , unless your name is Chryseis Tan you know ? 

Um , now you can ....just look for the nearest Feminine Cafe store while you are there as the shoes are priced quite reasonably .

These eye popping swathes cost 

MYR 119 btw. 

Not to worry , the chunky heels are not made from real wood 

but some kind of plastic material made to look like an over the top clog .

Probably the chunkiest pair of heels I have to date , the effect slims down my legs instantly .

Seems pretty stable , and yeah , the super chunky size , got my legs stared at A LOT by other women because these are not something everyone can walk around in without tipping over and yet I toddled all over the place in short pants . Quite sure you can find such heels in Prangin Mall , but I'm also positive that you risk breaking an ankle if you so much as sneeze while standing on just polished tiles .

One thing I like about this brand is the movable button . You can shift it from one strap to the other , also comes with an extension clasp , which is fantastic news for ladies with bigger ankles like me .

Just how chunky is it ?

There , take a good look at the base . 

Wonder how long the rubber will last before it wears out though .

If you're intrigued , or are into Japanese fashion , you can search for their designs on instagram with a #femininecafe hashtag , go to their website via  http://www.femininecafe.jp/sp/

 or buy them online via Rakuten .
