A Woman's Persiut of thy coveted Shoe!

Jimmy Choo Ad Campaign with Heather Marks



Sex and the City Urban Shoe Myth

Whilst admiring the hundreds of designer shoes at the new and improved shoe department at David Jones in the city, my friend L and I were discussing how wonderful it would be to be rich. A little on the obvious side I know but more specifically what it will be like when we get our first real big pay check and more importantly what we'll spend it on. L, like many girls will be spending hers on herself because after all she deserves it. But whilst we were admiring the beautiful shoes at the Miu Miu and Jimmy Choo sections L told me that she had already decided what to spend hers on (now that's forward planning for you).

L, when she gets her first big one is heading straight to the counter for an amazingly high, killer pair of the luxurious and world famous, Jimmy Choos. Jimmy's shoes are the shoe choice of Hollywood glamazons like, Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johanssen, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce and Katherine Heigl. You name the celebrity and you can bet they have a couple of pairs in the closet(walk in of course).

So what is it that allures so many girls to flash their credit cards (or first big pay checks) for one of these big name shoes? Are they any more comfortable than the back breaking ones by other lesser brands? According to Carrie Bradshaw, Manolo Blahnik's no.1 fan, yes they are. And not only are you paying for a little more comfort, in the product that is made to be uncomfortable, but these bigger name brands also promise hand made quality, exclusivity (due to the larger prices) and of course exceptional design ahead of the trends.

As L and I were forced to leave the mecca of all shoe departments, we said our goodbyes and promised that we'd visit soon, except that next time we vowed to unleash them from their dreary boxes to let them do what they were made for, walkin. (Jessica Simpson reference here in case you missed it)

Goddess of Fashion is coming to Brisbane- Patricia Field!

OMFG PATRICIA FIELD IS COMING TO BRISBANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any fashionista worth her Manalo's would know that Patricia Field is the goddess and personification of Style! Her outrageously red hair and uncanny fashion style can be seen from a mile away but if you are in brisbane on the 24th of May (Saturday week) you better get your true religion clad ass down to Myer (in the city) to get a glimpse of the New York stylist in action in the stores display window. Patricia is the genius behind the up and coming Sex and the City Movie which will be in cinemas on the 5th of May and was also behind the hugely popular television series. She is also styling the book-come-movie, Confessions of a Shopoholic and was the stylist behind the wardrobe in the American TV series, Cashmere Mafia. Notice a trend yet? All of these movies and shows are largely based around the clothes.....der. I mean if I was making a movie about fashion, Patricia is basically the only girl I'd trust because after all she is the woman that's made New York fashion the way it is today because that's her territory!!!

Hope to see you all there, but just make sure its not my toe that your stepping on to catch a glimpse of this fashion God!!!

Love Always xoxo

Sex and the City Fashion Feast

Bag: Timmy Woods, Shoes:Dior

Photos: Unknown numerous sources none of which are my own.

Lately I have become OBSESSED! After months of waiting for the Sex and the City movie to debut, we fashionistas have been blessed by the paparazzi who have been busy snapping away at the brand new outfits that our girls are wearing on set. The amazing outfits that these lucky girls get to parade around in are the creation of talented and notable designers with the likes of Manolo Blahnik -made famous by the girls-, Dolce and Gabbana, Zac Posen, Prada, Blumarine, Chanel, Roberto Cavalli and an enviable pair of Dior shoes worn through out the movie (and I can even show you where to get these beauties at a fraction of the Dior price tag). Of course none of these designers clothes would look as stylish together if the amazing Patricia Field had not created such great silhouettes and unthinkable yet genius and kooky combinations of outfits. Patricia Field constructed the wardrobe for the award wining series and has, as is expected,continued on for the movie. Patricia also created the wardrobe for "The Devil Wears Prada" which was nominated for an Oscar and BAFTA Flim Award and is currently collaborating for the movie, "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Undoubtedly the awards will begin to flow in after the movie is released next month on the 30th. Sadly the movie doesn't come out in Australia till the 5th of June but if you want a sneak preview of some of the outfits used in the movie the ones above should satisfy.

Stay tuned cause tomorrow I'll be telling you how you can achieve a couple of the looks featured without the featuring price tag!!

P.S. The pictures featured are about 1/100th of the amount of my entire collection from the movie so I'll be featuring some new ones tomorrow.

Love Always xoxo
