Shoes of Prey

Have you heard of Shoes of Prey?  Its a website that lets you design a shoe and then purchase it.
Prices are in Austrailian dollars.  It looks like fun; I've started a shoe.

You choose the heel, toe, fabric, colour and embellishments. Then expert craftsmen make your shoes to measure, swaddle them in a soft dust bag and crisp new box, and ship them straight to your waiting feet.
If you order a pair let me know! I'm very curious to see what the shoes are like and if they fit well. After seeing the movie P.S. I Love You (Hillary Swank)  I've been enchanted with being a shoe designer!

Will You Try to Get H&M Jimmy Choos?

I had really been excited for November 14th! One more week!  Why, you might be asking?



"JIMMY CHOO BRINGS GLAMOUR to H&M in the  Fall !!!  British accessory brand Jimmy Choo will bring its shoes and bags to selected H&M stores. The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world. It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories. Further exciting news is that this collaboration includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories..."

I went onto the website and it does NOT look like we will be able to shop on line...if I've misread this, PLEASE let me know! (I so hope that I'm wrong here, someone prove me wrong!) The website indicates that there will be lines, and that the store personnel will be handing out bracelets to get in.  Wow, Kind of like buying property a few years ago...

I just checked for the shoe that I'm interested in and both stores are semi-far from my home: 60 miles and about 100 respectively.  Unless I were going to leave at about 4:00am, I don't think I would have a chance to buy them.  Both cities will be crowded, no doubt (Los Angeles and South Coast Plaza).  The San Diego or Mission Viejo stores do not appear to be part of this roll-out.

Is anyone else going to try to buy a pair of Jimmy Choos next Saturday?
