Jimmy Choo red shoes
Minimum scoop from your pocket: Rs 15,000
Yes, you’ll have to save a chunk to own a beauty (a gorgeous velvet or patent stunner) from this brand that’s over twenty years old. Psst: Trust us, IF you ever do save to buy,
it’s worth it! After all, who wouldn’t want to be spotted in THE London-based Malaysian shoe designer creations that have stolen the hearts of world icons (even Michele Obama)? Wearers swear that every pair fits comfortably and makes legs look ‘eternal’. Talk about craftsmanship!
Shop: At Jimmy Choo flagship stores in Mumbai (The Galleria, The Trident, Nariman Point); Emporio Mall, New Delhi; The Collection UB City, Bangalore; or online on www.jimmychoo.com
French Connection ruffle jacket
Minimum scoop from your pocket: Rs 10,000
This 1972-born British brand by Stephen Marks has all the spunk you can ask for and more. Some of its styles are proportionate concoctions of femininity and masculinity. If you must, save for this too-good-to-be-true wool and cashmere-blend, ruffle-front coat. It’s utterly versatile thanks to its colour, structure and just-right detailing (soft ruffle, mandarin-style collar, and puff-detail shoulders mixed with mannish suit elements).Shop: Pre-order online on www.frenchconnection.in, Shopper’s Stop, international airport shopping arcades, or walk into any of the FC flagship stores in more than ten cities.
Swatch raspberry red watch
Minimum scoop from your pocket: Rs 7,500
It’s poppy. It’s scrumptious. It’s wicked. It’s feminine. The blooded raspberry Swatch looks amazingly edible but is brilliantly wearable. So if you have that ounce of funk in you, this is the thing you could grab and flaunt. Well, the undisputed fact is, a chic watch (read studded with crystals and with silver hands) kicks up a fashion storm in a jiffy.
Shop: At reasonably good watch stockers or crawl online to find more styles at the late 70s brand’s online store http://store.swatch.com/
Tommy Hilfiger gingham skirt

If Lewis Carrol’s Alice came alive today she would have surely approved of this pretty, billowing skirt in muted shades. This two-tier gingham checked skirt with satiny lining is pure ooh-la-la that can play dramatic roles in your winter wardrobe. By the way, most numbers by this famous 1985-established American brand stared by Fred Gehring, are cool, minimalistic and versatile.Shop: Click http://usa.tommy.com/tommy/ to find a store in your city.
