How do you stop a female from buying shoes?

Was just going through my old post, realised that I didn't blog much in 2007. Anyway, saw the post that had me lamenting how to bring back to SG (from UK) - 24 pairs of shoes. This post got me chuckling, as when I was packing to leave HK for SG & was sorting out my shoes - I counted 100 pairs!

I did throw/give away some... but I don't actually know how many pairs I finally shipped back!
Will update the final 'count' when I actually find some space/time to unpack the 6 boxes.

Meanwhile, I am still dreaming of my $700 pair of stilettos...
