Jimmy Choo Does Good Shoe

Well, there are times a girl just has to splurge, and this past December I had the perfect excuse to do so. I was spending the Christmas holidays in London, and we had plans to spend New Year's Eve attending a black-tie gala at an Irish castle. I needed a full-length, black-tie-event worthy gown, which also meant I required new shoes, of course. As London was new to me I went out shopping with a personal shopper, which was a novel experience, and really a very bad idea for a shoe addict as they know where to find all the best shoes. I found myself at Selfridges, and their shoe gallery is like heaven. After trying on a few pairs I found these, which are just incredibly marvelous, sexy, strappy little Jimmy Choo shoes. With these shoes and my brand new designer gown I felt like the best-dressed woman at that Irish castle, which made for a glorious evening. My little Jimmy Choo's and I even took in the midnight fireworks standing out on a damp Irish lawn, and they are none the worse for wear!

My true confession, though, is I had to have the matching clutch bag. It's just gorgeous!
