Wasting Money On Cheap Shoes (AKA The Bigger Fool)?

You know, if you have some patience and search a little, you can probably find a real pair of Jimmy Choo's on sale somewhere

Jimmy Choo for H&M shoes selling for double on eBay -marieclaire

Eager shoppers were out in force on Saturday morning, as Jimmy Choo's eagerly anticipated H&M collection hit the shelves, but for many, the collaboration presented a fashionable business opportunity>

Less than 24 hours after the pieces went on sale, hundreds have hit eBay selling for well-over the original high street price-tag.

Many of the much-coveted heels are now selling for double the original price - after styles sold out within hours in store.

The keenest shoppers started queuing 14 hours before shops opened at 9am, to get their hands on the much-coveted collection. Many pieces sold out within hours.

Shoelover thinks this is a perfect example of the Bigger Fool Theory in action

Shoes fit for a king....or queen

How much would you pay for a pair of shoes that Michael Jackson never wore?

Well, if you were willing to pay anything more than $10,000 Euros, they could have been yours!

Shoes fit for a king -The Stor

WHEN the late King of Pop announced a comeback tour, who better to design his dancing boots than shoe maestro, Giuseppe Zanotti. Though Michael Jackson passed away before his return to the stage, the shoe lives on.

With design and functionality in mind, the shoe designer created three pairs – boots, flat gladiator sandals and ankle boots – adorned with Swarovski crystals. All three pairs were made for rigorous dancing, but alas, they were not destined to be on stage.

The rainbow-coloured ankle boots were donated by Giuseppe Zanotti to the Amfar (the Foundation for AIDS Research) Gala Dinner, held in September during Milan Fashion Week in Italy. The pair was auctioned for €10,000 (RM50,703), all of which went towards HIV/AIDS research. The other two models will be displayed at a show dedicated to the late singer, to be curated by Ruschka Bergman, Jackson’s personal stylist who commissioned the shoes for the King.

A Princess without her shoes..

Princess Letizia abandons her signature sky-high heels - Hello Magazine

Spain's sartorially savvy Princess Letizia stepped out without her fashionable footwear yesterday during a state visit to India with her husband, Prince Felipe.

In accordance with local custom, the royal couple slipped off their shoes – a pair of green snakeskin pumps for the Princess – as they paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at his memorial in Delhi.

At the site, the Prince and Princess honoured the great pacifist with an offering of vibrant red and yellow flowers, as well as a moment of silence.

The couple's first official visit to India began on Tuesday in Bombay with a conference on Spain and India's economic relations.

The trip continued with a special breakfast attended by the country's president, Pratibha Patil.

Felipe and Letizia also celebrated their own culture by inaugurating India's first Instituto Cervantes, an international organisation that promotes the Spanish language.

Shoelover hopes her feet don't smell

Kiss A Toad, Get A Shoe

AUSTRALIA'S most unpopular animal has been given a new lease on life as a luxury fashion item.

Melbourne shoe designer Karine Emanouel has created a women's fashion shoe from cane toad leather.

"From a design point of view the cane toad is very similar to snake skin but I wanted to do something different while also helping the environment," Emanouel said.

"I know cane toads are a pest. They are also poisonous and ugly so I'm doing my bit for the environment by turning them into something beautiful and useful."

The stiletto pumps with four-inch heels come in black and beige, featuring the cane toad skin on the toes. They retail for $540.

There are six cane toad skins used in each pair of shoes and the high cost of the heels is mainly because of the labour involved in skinning the animal. They are skinned at a farm in Cairns.

"The skin is very expensive to buy because it's such a small skin and a fiddly job to remove it," she said.

The range launches next week and will be available to buy online at karineemanouel.com.au
