Fashion Hippo recently had a conversation with Mom (Mama Hippo that is) about grand gestures,  during which Mama Hippo mentioned that Vladimir Doronin’s gift to Naomi Campbell was a grand and beautiful gesture. (Read the full story here.)

Fashion Hippo, however, thinks that it was equivalent to a bouquet of flowers, well..may be not flowers, but a relatively inexpensive earrings… A gesture? Yes.  A grand one? No…at least not for Vladimir Doronin. 

Wealth is relative. Proportionally to his net worth, 18.5 million is equivalent to 1.84% of his total worth(if he is worth 1 billion $. Less than 1.84%, if he is worth more than a billion). 

So while to us mortals, $18.5 millions is a lot of dough, to Doronin this is small chunks..Also “GRAND Gesture” encapsulates meaningful, which is not the same as monetary.

What do you think? As always strong and contradictory opinions are welcome.

The Roundup:

Some awesome pumps are available this fall: it is a nice mixture of Platforms, Cross Strap Pumps, Ruched detailing, and single Elegant Strap with a button closure.

Hippo’s Point of View:

The hippo loves pumps because they:

· Make feel elegant instantaneously

· Elongate her short and chubby legs, which let’s face it, is a major plus for a hippo

· Dress up an outfit and add zest to her mood and spunk to her day

Nature Tip: To avoid danger, pick a color that’s a closely matches your surroundings.

Unsure about which color to pick when more than one color is available in a style you want?

Select color based on the destination type(office, party, etc.), appropriate dress code of the event, frequency of wear, and how easy you can mix and match with other items in your wardrobe.

If you want to blend in, wear dark or neutral colors (black, brown, eggplant, and beiges). If you want to stand out wear bright or colorful hues that pop and draw attention of the eye(reds, gold, silver).
