Here glides the bride... Jimmy Choo bridal collection 2014

Walking down the red carpet? Do it with a Jimmy Choo.

Long recognised for red carpet glamour, the brand has now extended a foot into the bridal aisle - with a tempting wardrobe of beautiful styles from the traditional elegance of ivory satin courts to the Hollywood glamour of Swarovski crystal embellished pumps, strappy single-soled metallic sandals to more fashion-forward seasonal designs.

 

This season sees sparkling embellishment add a more directional edge to classic silhouettes with the pointy-toe pump encrusted with cut-crystal opulence, frosted with glittering micro-crystals. Strappy single-sole sandals also get a dusting of shimmer in molten metallic hues.

For the bride who likes to stay a little more classic, delicate lace panels  adds a touch of fairy tale romance to the platform sandal silhouette. A scattering of silver crystals gives texture to the intricate weaved detailing.

Jewellery moves to the foot with sparkling clusters of precious rhinestones on satin peep-toes  and round-toe  in varying heel heights.

For more dramatic gowns that demand towering heights, platform sandals and peep-toes come served in sumptuous satins, shimmering metallics, embracing hints of Art Deco style in , while single soles  do incandescent shimmer in glitter lame.

Summer and beach weddings can call for a chic flat and the SUTRI sandal in metallic silver or gold strikes the perfect balance of elegant design with practical comfort - they have you covered!

And if that variety in choice for brides isn't enough, check this out: Jimmy Choo offers the same full range of services to brides as it does for celebrities, including Champagne shopping days for bridal parties, shoe re-colouring - both before the ceremony to match the dress, and after the ceremony to ensure the newlywed can wear the special shoes again.

Wedding bells anyone?

A taste of Italian style

Style never grows old! Check out that individual signature with personal touches like his beret, scarf and the amazing mix and match of color!

So my sister decided to leave me (ok that's a bit dramatic) and travel to Milan for one whole year to finish her business Design degree in in the school of Domus Academy, Italy. Although I miss her like hell, am very proud of her brave endeavor of making a success story of herself (that's her in the picture with our stylish gentleman). I love travel, being thrown into a totally foreign city where you don't know the language and being forced to step out of your comfort zone. Am sure it brings out all those amazing traits in you that you would have never thought existed before.

And what I really love is the melange of culture and style found on the streets. Looking at style from a different point of view is such an inspiration and I have demanded that she becomes my Italian street fashion correspondent so I can share the muse!

Looking through this shop window is like peeking into another style era - it almost looks staged!

If you have an eye for photography and spotting special moments, please feel free to share with me your street style pics and I will feature them in my next posts :)
