It’s a sign of the times. Although the $395 price tag says different. Here’s a pair of Choo’s that won’t break the bank. Jimmy Choo has teamed by with Hunter Wellington Boots to create this lux moc croc pair of “Wellies”. Hunter boots were originally designed for walking in Scotland’s rugged terrain and combating its unpredictable weather. Now ladies have another lux rainboot option for splashing around those big city puddles. With the state of today’s economy we’ll be seeing luxury brands offering up more mainstream and usable products. Luxury will become more practical…now that just almost doesn’t make sense…practical luxury? Times are tough and even the big guys have to roll with the punches. Get yours this June at Jimmy Choo stores, on-line and at select retailers.

The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies and I cannot wait to see this collection! I hope they make their way to San Francisco!

I would have a new pair of stilettos for every night out, from feather drenched or patent leather Louboutin’s to camouflage or zebra print Manolo Blahnik’s. These are the kind of shoes you build outfits around.
Oh, and bags! I never have enough, no matter how many I gather I always find more that I need. Each bag holds it’s own special place in my heart. My favorite styles are usually day totes and clutches - the ones pictured below would be an awesome edition to my ensemble any day of the week.
