Deck the halls with Jimmy Choo

Jimmy Choo shoes can be sparkly and festive, but Choos as Christmas tree ornaments? Why not? On  Nov. 22, a tree decorated in top to bottom Jimmy Choo accessories will be unveiled in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The “ornaments” are from the Cruise 2009 collection. Good thing, because boots from Fall/Winter wouldn’t work quite as well as some bright strappy sandals. 

And like a high-end version of "The Price Is Right," guests staying at the hotel will get to submit what they believe to be the total value of the tree. The person who guesses closest to the actual amount wins a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, a Jimmy Choo handbag, a two-night stay at the Beverly Wilshire, a private consultation with Jimmy Choo and treatments at the hotel spa.

The tree will be up until Dec. 31 and the winner will be announced Jan. 10.

OK, so a lot of us aren’t even eligible because we live in L.A. and most likely won’t be booking a hotel room in town.  But the R.O.I. may be worth getting a room at the Beverly Wilshire for a night ...
