Cinderella's glass slipper reimagined by Jimmy Choo

To celebrate the release of Disney's live-action Cinderella next month, some of the biggest names in shoe design have reimagined the princess' iconic glass slipper – Jimmy Choo, Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Stuart Weitzman, Salvatore Ferragamo and Paul Andrew to name a few. The results are as magical as you would expect and will be available to order soon from key stores around the world, including Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue. I assume the price tags will also be fit for a princess, but if you have a fairy godmother then it's time to start calling in the favours....




"I think every girl desires a Cinderella moment in their lives," says Sandra Choi, creative director of Jimmy Choo. "This story ignites a love affair and fascination with shoes that never dies. The power they have to transform is instilled from a young age and the fantasy remains alive forever. I wanted to create a shoe that felt magical, with alluring sparkle and a feminine, timeless silhouette evoking those childhood emotions."

The stunning design from Jimmy Choo has achieved exactly that, with a timeless shape and plenty of sparkle. You can see a few more of my favourite sketches below. I think Cinderella would have a tough time picking a winner...

Top 5 winter wishlist...

I must admit I've neglected the blog a bit lately. It's mostly because I've been a busy lady but perhaps it's just further proof that I get far more excited about Halloween than I ever do about Christmas!

Anyway I thought I'd put together a little Autumn/Winter fashion Top 5 with a few of the items I've been lusting after lately. (Santa if you are reading this, give the reindeer a break and let Net-A-Porter gift wrap and deliver it all for you...) As part of the Clueless generation I can't resist a tartan mini skirt, and seeing as the sun is currently shining those Ray–Ban's could be considered essential right?!



1. Rocket tartan mini skirt, £280 Vivienne Westwood Anglomania
2. 18-karat gold necklace, £1,110 Jennifer Meyer
3. Clubmaster D-frame sunglassess, £170 Ray-Ban
4. Lottie suede sandals, £450 Jimmy Choo
5. Embellished satin clutch, £2,380 Valentino

Regular blogging will now resume and I'll be back soon with reviews from Silverstein at Underworld and Tenacious D at Shepherd's Bush Empire.
