Jimmy Choo for H&M
As winter looms upon us, I am excitedly anticipating and counting down the days to the hottest collaboration of the year – Jimmy Choo for H&M.
Jimmy Choo is a staunch favourite among A-listers such as Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Cindy Crawford and Michelle Obama, with the average pair costing around £500.
But for a credit-crunch friendly £79.99, shoe-lovers can now bag a bargain courtesy of the high street chain, and just in time for the party season too.
The collection, announced earlier this year, hits shelves on November 14th (and includes clothes) and if past collaborations are anything to go by, queues – and mass hysteria – will promptly be forming around the corner. I have already got my re-enforcements ready to go ladies so I will see you all there.

Anna Sui Spring/Summer 2010 Shoe Collection
I absolutely love this collection. Anna Sui, fresh off her CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award and a collaboration with Target, is on point for the S/S 2010 season. The collection is fresh, airy, springy and very summery with loads of bright coloured sandals and patterned mini dresses.
Anna’s stellar circus-themed Spring fling had lots of references to the Pop sixties and you do feel the hippie vibe with all the head scarves, the flowery, butterfly, animal print patterns.
Majority of the shoes were a colour palette of bright colours. They included gladiator sandals, cut-out open-toed sandals with patterns of butterflies worn with cut-out knee socks and there were some platform wedged sandals too.

Marc Jacobs Spring/ Summer 2010 Shoe Collection
Newyork Fashion Week S/S 10 kicked off with an excitable crowd that turned out for the Marc Jacobs Spring/ Summer 2010 Collection. Among the crowd were Madonna plus toyboy and Lady Gaga who is Marc’s latest muse.
The clothes were brilliant but the shoes…..oh dear. Apart from one or two pairs, on the whole they were absolutely awful. Lots of flat and very open sandals.
I don’t know whether it was the model’s feet that made these sandals awful because if you look at the pictures, their feet look too big for the sandals or it could have been that the sandals were too small. Either way, they look ugly. Honestly, if you have big or wide feet, you would be screwed if you wore these. What do you think?

Camilla Skovgaard Flat Over the Knee Boots
Camilla Skovgaard Flat Over the Knee Boots, $965.00
Hello lover! How high do you dare to go? These Camilla Skovgaard pebbled leather over the knee boots certainly raise the room temperature. Statement-making boots are a hot trend for autumn/winter ’09; practical yet super-stylish. They feature a lace-up tie at the back, hidden zip closure at the side and stretch-leather inset at top. A great investment for the new season.

COMME DES GARÇONS Shoes
COMME DES GARÇONS Gold Toes Shoes, £457.75
I am so in love with these shoes from the Trompe l’oeil collection based on illusion by Comme Des Garçons.
I don’t know if many of you know this but the founder of Comme Des Garçons, designer Rei Kawakubo, is untrained as a fashion designer, but studied fine arts and literature at Tokyo’s prestigious Keio University. She has inspired many designers today, including Belgian Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulermeester as well as Austrian designer Helmut Lang.
COMME DES GARÇONS Black Leather Shoes, £470.58
I have absolutely gone gaga over these shoes and I am going to Dover Street Market to look for the gold pair. They are simple but I love the drawing on the outer of the shoes. Totally unique!!
