What do you think about it?

You can't go wrong with this pair of shoes!

I found these yellow pastel heels by Mellow Yellow on hayatouki's spring shoes selection.

..Which got me to dig a bit more into the Mellow Yellow brand launched in 2003 in Paris by Bruno Van Gaver; his brand signature is about light and fresh designs, inspired by the 70's.

 Mellow Yellow is trendiness made affordable.

This pair of shoes is available on their e-shop here, at 139 EUR. Only few pieces of size 38 are left!

Tip: Match it with tight ankle blue jeans and a light colored top

I just can't get enough of this song: My heart skips, skips a beat!

So come on, spin me around

I don't wanna go home

Cause when you hold me like this

You know my heart skips, skips a beat

I know I should, but I can't leave it alone

And when you hold me like this

That's when my heart skips, skips a beat

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh! oh oh oh!
