"As our resident style system-beater, I&amp;#39;m always on the hunt for good deals and cheapie wardrobe upgrades. And believe it or not, I managed to find one in Paris, the home of haute couture, pricey champagne and les macarons--or as I refer to them, &amp;quot;those $30 pastel cookies that are too pretty to eat.&amp;quot;\nWhen my friend Elisabeth (aka La Coquette) and I were watching the Lanvin show on Friday, we oohed and ahhed over the clothes on the runway--and in the audience. Most front rowers were wearing Lanvin, including Jade Jagger who was sporting a perfect LBD and Lanvin pumps from a few seasons back.\nPinterestFacebookJade Jagger, and her cute shoes, at the Lanvin show.\nHow sexy!, we thought. Elisabeth and I brainstormed that a few feet of thin, hardware store chain link could probably convert a pair of simple ankle strap pumps into a Lanvin-esque pair of heels. Of course, you might have to do a little bit of experimenting with wire cutters, drills and hand tools in order to get the little suckers to stay put, but you didn&amp;#39;t really have any firm plans for Sunday afternoon anyway, did you?\nNow admittedly, along with the textbook definition of negative dividends and the secret trick to making sure a cheesecake doesn&amp;#39;t fall while baking, the exact price of hardware store chains are not among the things I&amp;#39;m terribly familiar with. But while I can&amp;#39;t really BS the answers to the first two items, I&amp;#39;m willing to bet that industrial (ie not the pricier jewelry stuff) won&amp;#39;t set you back too much bank.
