Only just a few days ago I posted a blog about heels lighting up. Well, Jimmy Choo has incorporated the idea already in the sky high 5.1 inch (13 cm) heel of the upcoming Zap sandal. With it’s neon colors and trendy platform it’s all eighties again.

The price however is also sky high: € 1745!

Or a Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Dior, etc…

You know, I love shoes very much. I am a huge fan of Jimmy Choo, despite the recent couple of not-so-wonderfull shoe ideas. Other great designers like Louboutin and Alexander McQueen have of course also designed a huge collection of beauties. But, like most women, my budget does not allow me to just buy every designer shoe I want. Still, I would love, like most women, to have a pair of Louboutins on my feet. So, how can that be arranged? Renting the shoes might be a good answer to that question.

The idea is not new. After nine months however, it seems LXP did not really expand the collection. Cinderella-Me starts with a much bigger and richer collection. I admit it’s not having the shoes, but it comes quite close. A big concern would be smell and hygiene. But they have thought about that. Every shoe is blasted with bacteria-killing UV light and steam before sent out to the customer.

Too bad, it seems they don’t ship international. If they did, I probably would have tried it out. Would you?

I did already tweeted this. But is this scary or what? Jimmy Choo and Ugg have teamed up on a limited edition collection of five different styles to be released in October of this year. The boots will be available exclusive at  Jimmy Choo and Ugg stores in a price range of € 450 – € 600. That’s a lot of money!

I’m wondering how this will turn out. Let’s just wait for (leaked) photo’s.

Just the same as the Hale Bob Westridge pumps I wrote about a couple of days ago: “When you’re not sure animal print is something for you, this might be a nice alternative“.

The Jimmy Choo Nicci peep toe pump has a small panel with a zebra print. But there is more. A silver glitter panel around the toe and a metallic fuchsia zig-zag pattern at the heel. The heelheight measures 4 inch (10 cm).

Too bad this one is not part of the upcoming H&M collection next Saturday. You can get it at Net-A-Porter for €585.

The online competition is over. Yesterday evening project PEP was launched at Selfridres which includes a limited edition collection of Jimmy Choo scarfs, bags and -of course- shoes. For 72 hours the collection is exclusively sold by Selfridges. Starting November 2 the collection is also made available in the UK Jimmy Choo stores. Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of the net sales from Project PEP to the Elton John Aids Foundation.

Here are the shoes from the PEP collection.
