HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY

World renowned Jimmy Choo celebrates it 15 year anniversary this year!

Thanks to the help of (fictional character) Carrie Bradshaw, and the sexually and emotionally frustrated girls of Sex And the City, Jimmy Choo footwear has become a household name to every fashionista in the world.

And so to celebrate, they have released 'The Jimmy Choo coffee table book'

Now i have to be perfectly honest... I'm not a fan of strappy sandal shoes, so Choo's don't always tickle my spot, but they've had several marketing campaigns that have slyly changed my mind, and made me want to reconsider and blow my monthly salary on a pair - so cudos to you Choo! so I'm posting a few of my favourites ad campaigns (that i can't yet afford *sigh*)
