During our usual pay day Topshop perusal, we fell in love with a pair of shoes. No surprises there really. In fact it's probably more of a shock that it was just the one pair.
On closer inspection though, there's even more reason to part with our hard earned cash. These high street lovelies are the double of a £300 Guiseppe Zanotti pair. Right down to the colour contrast pointed toe and stiletto heel.
Although we're fans of the mint green, the high street doppelgangers are also available in Zanotti-esque pastel pink too. And, in case we needed any more convincing, even treating ourselves to both colours, we'd still be saving £180 on the originals.
Tess Daly's already been seen in the green. Join us in the queue pronto before Pippa Middleton steps out in a pair.
After an absence from the headlines, Cheryl Cole seems to be everywhere today.
Not only has she been tweeting pictures of her new shoe collection - and looking very LA in a Wildfox sweatshirt - she's also been defending herself from yet more rumours about her love life. This time surrounding an unlikely beau: Alesha Dixon and Javine's ex, MC Harvey.
In an interview with Now magazine, the rapper said that the pair had a brief fling in 2010. They apparently became close after Cheryl split from husband, Ashley Cole.
After hearing the news, the singer took to Twitter to directly challenge Harvey's claims.
She tweeted: "Was this 'relationship' happening in your head @harveyofficial?! Are you smoking something?
"'I think I've met you once maybe twice at public events and with your wife."
But Harvey stood his ground.
He replied: "Do you actually want me to tweet some of the messages you emailed me
@cherylcole pipe down and stop playing the saint in front of your fans."
Before adding: "I had your back @cherylcole until you sent that disapointed in you if
the public seen these emails you would end up with egg on your face.
"And let's get this straight @cherylcole I don't need no hype of you! I'd
rather go broke and work in sainsburys than talk about your personal
sh*t."
Cheryl is yet to respond, but best friend and bandmate, Nicola Roberts defended Cheryl (and made us laugh, a lot) with this Tweet: "Emails?! I think someone's been having you on mate... She doesn't do emails, she does phone sex."
In the interview, Harvey said: "There was a relationship and an attraction to each other's aura.
"She's a good girl. We've got a great respect for each other."
Clearly. TBC...

If there was ever an award for looking flawless after a long haul flight, then there would only really be three contenders - our very own Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole.
Snapped at the airport last week, Cheryl proved that VB's got it all wrong when it comes to airport dress. Instead of opting for fierce heels and an even fiercer dress, the singer kept it comfy in jeans, a black fur hat and this playful sweatshirt by celebrity favourite, Wildfox.
Clearly that laid-back LA vibe is rubbing off on Cheryl's wardrobe. Or maybe the designer friends behind the coveted Californian brand have been taking inspiration from her?
The styling for this shot is more than a little familiar...
Selena Gomez seems to be quite the fan of the new American high street store brightening up our high street.
Just last we week we reported that she'd snapped up a very cool Forever 21 cardigan for a long haul flight. And now we've spotted her wearing one of their vests.
Selena took a break from her hectic American tour to pick-up a gold disc for her album, 'When The Sound Goes Down'.
She posed for photographers in a pair of denim shorts, Jeffrey Campbell boots and the £14.75 crochet detail vest top.
Unlike the cardigan, this vest has just dropped online. Go, go, go...
Now she's back from Barbados and sporting a new tattoo (see above), Rihanna's apparently been avoiding the holiday blues with a spot of shopping.
First on the list? A giant portrait of Marilyn Monroe made from 65,000 Swarovski crystals.
According to The Sun, Rihanna commissioned British artist Claire Miliner to create the unusual portrait for her home after seeing her previous pictures of David Beckham and Elvis.
The 5 foot portrait - which took four months to make - reportedly weighs thirteen stone. It also changes colour.
Claire told the newspaper: "A 100 per cent Swarovski crystal portrait is very luxurious -- people
stand and stare because it constantly changes colour, sending rainbows
round the room.
"Because of who Rihanna is, everything had to be done through her
interior decorators. But they told me afterwards that she loved it."
That's good news. We can't imagine she does returns!

Amy Winehouse's grieving father has accused Jean Paul Gaultier of allegedly cashing in on the death of his daughter.
Mitch Winehouse said the designer's latest catwalk show - in which the models were styled like his late daughter - was "in bad taste".
The catwalk show was part of Paris Fashion Week. Although Gaultier has admitted he never met Amy, he believes their styles were "similar" so his models were sent down the runway wearing the singer's trademark beehive and heavy eyeliner while a barbershop quartet covered her songs.
During the show's finale, the models even donned black veils.
Mitch said: "We're still grieving her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six month anniversary of Amy's death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on."
What do you think? A fitting tribute to a fashion icon or bad taste? Let us know below.
