Jimmy Choo Shoes and Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale

Jimmy Choo Shoes … Need I say more. Of course I do. There’s also a to-die-for … well (maybe not to-die-for,_5733533 but to get-really,-really-sick-for) handbags and shoes. Here are my fav’s from the Jimmy Choo China Strappy Sandals 2009 collection. Omy.

I could never actually wear these strappy sandals but I could have them displayed on my fireplace mantel. Well for Pete’s sake they’re $1,125- a pair. But well worth it don’t you think? I’m already thinking about the deluges of rain that are coming and the warm, tropical destinations where these sandals would be the hit. Check out the heels.

Jimmy Choo Pisa Pixelated leather shoe

These Jimmy Choo shoes are so very cool. I like the shimmery, pixelated flowery print leather, but it’s the fabulous Mondrian heel that makes these shoes. Even more interesting is the thumb tack encapsulated within the heel. It provides an unexpected and unusual detail that makes the rear view the focal point of the shoe. This shoe has a 4.5 inch heel. Available at JimmyChoo.com, $895.
And one of Jimmy choo bag has this style too.

One of Jimmy Choo Shoes that I love

I am not one to follow labels, or buy garments because its from a label. But a few weeks ago while working at a retail store in Paddington, a customer came in and tried on a dress with a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes she just bought on sale at David Jones. I fell instantly in love with them, and they left a last impression on me that I had to post about it, and have some pictures that I can at least ease a bit of my jealousy off.

One of the girls that I used to work with at the retail store, was a buyer in her Norwegian homeland. She said that she used to literally get pairs of expensive shoes given to her so that she would stock those brands at the shop. Well anyways, she accumulated hundreds of shoes and when she moved to Australia, she ended up giving lucious pairs of Jimmy Choo Shoes to her friends. Oh what an indulgence!

Boots Trend for 2008 – Wear them Off!

Remember how crazy Madonna drives us with her long laced boots? Well, I might have been on the verge of making a very important discovery here…

You see, these days, when one pops up more than 4 covers consecutively in 2 moths, one consider at least a change of style from one photo shoot to another, not to mention changing shoes! Well, not her Madgesty! She’s sticking to her laced CL boots like her life depends on it! Now, when changing season, one changes clothes also. This would be the case for a travelling Kate Moss – today in rainy London, tomorrow on sunny US beaches. But not La Moss, no! She’s sticking to her boots like her life too is depending on them!

Oh Snap: Posh’s Implants Live on Air

Radio 1’s Chris Moyles took it there with Victoria Beckham, live on air in an interview. He blatantly asked her about her implants, catching Victoria completely off guard.

We have no proof at this stage if he is still drawing breath or if he has been the victim of a Louboutin shoes to the jugular.

Chris Moyles, as we’ve mentioned before, is not one of our favourite radio personalities, but we give him full props for asking questions that are none of his bid-niz.
