You may have heard about the fantastically useful School of Life - maybe from my BitchBuzz review of one of their classes - and have perhaps wondered why there wasn't something similar in a city near you. Well, never fear, The School of Life is now going on to...

Christian Louboutin first coated a shoe sole with red nail polish. This trademark flash of red has since become a status symbol, instantly recognisable and instantly desirable.It is more than the blood red leather bottom that has placed Louboutins in the shoe stratosphere. His shoes are breathtakingly beautiful - from simple heeled pumps to jewel encrusted slingbacks, each pair has an almost sculptural quality.
