HiLo: Viva La Vivienne





What is it about the Jimmy Choos pictured left that landed them on Saks Fifth Avenue's top picks for 2010? Luxe metallic sheen? Check. Cute cuttout details? Check. Flattering fit for a functional flat? Check, check, and check. Waterproof? No way.

While you are dropping over $300 on Italian leather with the Jimmy Choos, doesn't it make sense that a summer shoe should be amphious? If you wouldn't wear it to the beach, why bother adding it to your summer ensemble, especially when you can get the wave-resistant Vivienne Westwood Marine Jelly for 1/5 of the price.
