Scents for the Shoe Lover

Still looking for gifts for the shoe lover on your list?  And she wants Jimmy Choos?  (Who doesn’t.)  Well, if you can’t afford these…

OH. MY. GOD. WANT!  The Kaci by Jimmy Choo is just too beautiful for words.  The suede upper is delicately cut out into crystal-covered leaf shapes that swirl around your feet like, I don’t know, if a magical crystal ice storm hit in October and covered all the leaves in amazing.  A four-inch heel completes the look, which you can get for $1595 from Neiman Marcus.

…get her this!

Perfume!  Made by Jimmy Choo!  Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo (how many times can I say Jimmy Choo here? if I say it enough, will he appear and give me shoes?) is a casual, feminine fragrance which speaks of fun and relaxation. Introduced in 2011, this perfume features notes of mandarin, orange and pear combined with hints of orchid, patchouli and toffee to create a lovely scent that can be worn during laid-back daytime functions. This sweet fruity, flowery scent is perfect for women who embrace the spirit of youth.  There are, of course, eight thousand different combos of perfume and creams and things out there, but if you just want to start with the perfume, you can get two ounces of it for $42 from BeautyEncounter.

…or this!

Yes, there’s another!  Evoking a sophisticated, urban woman who is provocative, rebellious, and magnetic, Flash by Jimmy Choo is effervescent and sensual.  Pink pepper, tangerine, and strawberry open the fragrance with a fresh, sparkling introduction. Heart notes of strong, exotic white flowers reveal a sexy character. A base of white powdery woods leaves a lasting impression, both seductive and modern.  (Plus the box is sparkles.  Sparkles, I say!)  You can find two ounces of this one at Overstock for $48.

Or maybe she wanted Ferragamos this year:

So classic in every way.  The Tina by Salvatore Ferragamo is a black patent leather pump (love the shape of the toe) with a 3.5-inch heel and a small platform.  And look at the gold-accented bow!  Perfect.  Yours for $625 from Nordstrom.

Got you covered there too!

Signorina by Salvatore Ferragamo is a celebration of chic girls with a sophisticated and fresh scent signature.  Elegant jasmine and the unexpected and delicate sweetness of pannacotta blend together to create a refined and memorable fragrance.  And please note how the ribbon is the SAME TEXTURED RIBBON as on the shoe!  I see what you did there, Signore Ferragamo.  This 1.7-ounce bottle will run you $74 at Macy’s.

If she wanted Louboutins or something, well, I can’t help you.  Maybe Santa will help a sister out…
