FESTIVE READS FOR SHOE ADDICTS



Here are some last minute gift suggestions for the Shoe Addict in your life if the budget is a little tight this year.

Why not pick her up a little festive read?




Here are my top picks:


Jimmy Choo Story: Power, Profits And The Pursuit Of The Perfect Shoe

The Towering World of Jimmy Choo examines the world's seemingly insatiable appetite for luxury goods by telling the behind-the-scenes tale of one of the most talked-about brands of our age. Jimmy Choo was a London shoemaker with clients including Princess Diana when Tamara Yeardye, a London society girl, convinced him to launch a factory-produced luxury shoe line. Twelve years later, Jimmy Choo is a household name, and Tamara still presides over what is now one of the most successful luxury brands in the world.


Manolo's New Shoes

The follow up companion to the bestselling Manolo Blahnik Drawings, this book presents a brand new collection of Manolo's celebrated shoe designs. The book is organized thematically to express Manolo Blahnik's vision. A glorious pictorial feast that will double as a coffee table book.


The Blood Countess

The first novel in bestselling author Tara Moss exciting new Pandora English series - is True Blood meets The Devil Wears Prada in high-fashion fantasy New York. Moss brings her trademark macabre and lifelong love of the paranormal to the fashion world, with a twist...

Aged 19 and fresh from small town Gretchenville, Pandora English arrives in New York City to live with her mysterious Great Aunt Celia. Pandora is going to make it big as a writer... or so she thinks. When Pandora lands a job at a glossy women's magazine that happens to share her name, her first assignment is covering the exciting A-List launch of BloodofYouth, the latest miracle beauty product to take America by storm. Supermodel Athanasia, the face of BloodofYouth, is drop-dead gorgeous, but Pandora senses something else too. Something sinister... It seems there may be a secret ingredient in BloodofYouth, and when Pandora discovers what it is, there'll be hell to pay... Funny, sexy, fashionable and just a tiny bit terrifying.

Enjoy!
