Glitter Shoes: Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin?

Jimmy Choo has just launched their new Fall Winter 2011 mens shoe collection. I must admit, I am not very thrilled with what I saw. It seems the shoemaker of choice for women worldwide has come a little too close for comfort to our favourite red soles for this season's offering.

One good example... check out this Black Glitter Slip-ons by Jimmy Choo... dejavu again? Besides the similar type of material for the shoe, do you also feel a strong akin in the shape of the shoe, to a certain Christian Louboutin's Rollerball Spikes in Silver Glitter? (Take away the spikes and they are like 'evil twins' born to different parents.)

You decide... great minds think alike or inspired?

However, I must admit, the black glitter does present a glamourous option for handsome tuxedos! Love the ensemble:-)

Jimmy Choo Black Glitter Slip-ons retails for ￥71,400(inc. tax), approx. SGD1081. Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spikes in Silver Glitter is priced at USD1295 (SGD1900).

Queen of Jimmy Choo.... Tamara Mellon's Home

Tamara Mellon, is the stylish founder of Jimmy Choo. We all know Jimmy Choo right?? Well, Harper's Bazaar was let in to her New York apartment and I think you'll be amazed at all the interesting and unique qualities of her place. Her apartment is a mix of high art and glam minimalism....AND let's not forget, a TON of shoes! 

I'm so excited to pick up the new issue and read more about this interesting lady! I hear that in the interview with Harper's, she opens up about her lifestyle, overcoming challenges, and building her Jimmy Choo empire. But, is its true she may sell Jimmy Choo?? Hmmm

Here she is posing with pretty little daughter, Minty. 

Yes, those are photographs of SNAKES.

I really loved the Terence Koh neon installation that reads “love for eternity” in her entryway.  In the upstairs sitting room, there is a Warhol silkscreen of Grace Kelly which is also eye-catching!  In the kitchen, there’s a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting, which she has put onto a track and can be rolled away to reveal a flat-screen television.

For the rest of Tamara's home tour visit the Harper's Site.
