Gloomy weather, Mac coat and the plaid umbrella

It was a gloomy day today. Thick clouds and, rain pouring from the afternoon. I used to feel the rain was intolerable, well, before I heard this phrase "Everyone hates the rain but, think of it this way. You can only enjoy the puddle of water or the sound of rain hitting your umbrella on rainy days. Its just how you see things and interpret it." Quote from the famous Japanese anime Evangeline. I guess there is a lessen behind this and, ever since, I enjoy the rain. I mean, when can a mac-coat do its job at fullest? or When's the time when your favorite umbrella shows its beauty?

So, I headed out to pick up my boots from my favorite shoe store. I think, everyone who loves fashion or is fascinated by the aesthetics of fashion has essentials they cannot live without. A good shoe shop is definitely on that list. My favorite shoe store, Union-Works, has few outlets in the Kanto region of Japan. Aoyama, Shibuya and Mizono-kuchi. (I always head to the one in Mizono-kuchi, the closest one around my place) What's great about this store is, not only its artisan spirit and technique, but the fact you can customize any type of shoe, boot and heels as you wish. For, instance did you ever want a shoe to have be-spoke details like pitched heels and bevelled waists? or your favorite heels or boots to have a higher heel? Well, I think this is your place. Union-Works definitely will serve you well. There just great with shoes. I think they are the most prestige and well know shoe store around.

Oh yeah, Im so excited because Im finally going to watch A Single Man filmed by Tom Ford. Also, the fact that I found a person to go watch it with me excites me. Not many people around me showed interest in the film!
