I love my designer shoes and boots as much as the next girl, but with the economy closing in, it’s sometimes hard to justify (to the bank manager) why I’ve spent my monthly allowance on a pair of shoes.
They don’t seem to understand that girls need these as much as the human race needs water (well slight exaggeration there) do they?
However, I’ve come to realise that high street retailers do have similar ranges to that of designers and these boots by Cat footwear are a perfect example.
Priced at £94.99 they are a much better price than these £695 Jimmy Choo boots (pictured below) and almost identical.

There isn’t a more iconic pair of shoes in American history than Dorothy’s ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz.”
And now, the most iconic shoe designers from around the world are going to show us their spin on the ultimate sparkly pumps.
For the 70th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz” Warner Bros. and Swarovski have selected 19 designers to create their interpretations of Dorothy’s slippers to commemorate the event.

Jimmy Choo seems to have updated their Romona leather ring bags to incorporate the oversized clutch trend for spring. This convertible patent clutch, $1,396, uses the same weaving technique with leather strips through rings, in a new, modern silhouette. As I think that all clutches should have a convertible option, I like the chain strap that can be tucked inside. I wonder if the verticle belt can be unstrapped for a different look?

We love these Jimmy Choo Watson flats for their holiday flair and ability to live on in style throughout the year. The square toe is modern and not too angular, with dark faceted jewel accents. They almost look like rock ‘n’ roll studs. Plus, they’re only $340. That’s not bad at all for Choos. We wonder if anyone picked up a pair as a last minute Christmas present at the new Rodeo Drive flagship store that opened on Monday. West Coasters can look for more Choo stores through 2009 in locations like San Diego, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, and Seattle.

Sometime during her Sex and the City costume designer years, Patricial Field’s name became forever linked with Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo in the footwear category. And now you can get her high-fashion, Emmy-award winning, Sarah Jessica Parker-approved style at Payless – who would have predicted? Our bargain pick of the week is her Tempura platform, $40, actually the only pump in her limited edition holiday collection. There’s also a chic boot and a clutch, but we feel the platform is the most Patricia.

Nonprescription sunglasses sales totalled $2.12 billion last year with 112 million pairs sold, but they’re largely a very small, very plastic accessory. While the vast majority of sunglasses sold cost less than $30, the remaining 11 million pairs make up more than half of the business. I doubt anyone’s surprised, having seen price tags like the one on the Bulgari pair at left which retail for $650. But what’s the deal?

We’ve languished over the fact that we rarely have anywhere resorty to go that would require any sort of resort wardrobe, but now we’re getting over it and making the best. We’ve chosen the top 10 resort pieces to wear right where you live – to work, to parties, out on the town. We’ve even found some pieces that will help you keep cozy in colder climes. I’m sure somewhere a doyenne on the upper east side is rolling her eyes that we would concieve wearing resort fashions anywhere other than Biarritz, but so be it.
We love this Prada bag for anywhere any time of year. The leather tote, available at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, could double as a carry on if you like to look chic in-flight or on the road, and has just enough structure to pull off at the office. We adore the green, but if we were going to spend $1,495, we’d want it in black.

Jimmy Choo is one designer that will be by our sides through every fashion season, proving to the world that it is indeed the handbag or shoe that maketh a style maven. This season, the designer brings us a fresh roundup of clutches that are an easy choice for those party days ahead. Here’s a sampling of just a few delightful gems (ready for your wishlist) from the fall and winter collection.
The Jimmy Choo Carina Metallic Clutch, 4775, is a unique shell-shaped miniature, made with metallic suede and a rich gold clasp accent. Another unique feature is the beaded trim and gold loop; the perfect finish for a minidress or basic black outfit for the evening.
