Uber-heiress, Paris Hilton, isn't content to put her name to just fragrances and handbags – she's also designing shoes. "My goal is to create a stylish and fun fashion line from head to toe," says Paris. "Each shoe has a heart shaped comfort pad sewn into the inner sole, so you can dance all night long! I also made the soles of the shoes pink, so no matter how you look at them, they are super cute!" Ms Hilton's shoes will be priced from between R899 and R1399. Look out for them as of this month at selected Stuttafords, Fizz & Co in East London; Ruby In The Dust and New York Junction in Jozi and Cherimoyo in Cape Town.

Here comes the sun
This

"tangy brights" like coral, pink and persimmon and 'spiced up
neutrals'. Our two favourite shades? Not Just A Pretty Face, a sexy nude sure to flatter any fingertips and Cute as a Button,
the perfect beach-y coral to pair with this season's flirty, floral
dresses. Buy each colour separately for R89,95 or treat yourself or
someone else to the entire range with their Colours to Go 6-pack for R539,70.
