Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum by Jimmy Choo

Latest this March is Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum by Jimmy Choo.  What perfume has to do with shoes, I have no clue, but I suppose it’s an aspirational lifestyle they’re selling.  If you can’t afford the shoes, get the perfume, and you’ll almost be as stylist as Carrie on Sex and the City. I [...]
