Topshop heiress Chloe Green enlists Alexandra Burke for CJG shoe launch

Former Made In Chelsea star Chloe Green traded in gal pal Kate Moss for the likes of Alexandra Burke and the girls from TOWIE to celebrate the launch of her new Topshop shoe collection CJG.

The Topshop heiress presumably dressed head to toe in black to accentuate the towering heels she was wearing fresh from her collection.

All the CJG (Chloe Jade Green) designs feature a turquoise green sole which Chloe openly admits is a nod to celebrity favourite Christian Louboutin, whose shoes famously feature a red sole.

TOWIE girls Lauren Pope, Frankie Essex and Chloe Sims also put in an appearance at the flagship store in Oxford Circus, as did Chloe's former MIC castmates Gabriella Ellis and Rosie Fortescue.

And if there was any doubt that Chloe wasn't quite able to muster the A-listers you would expect at the launch last night, a little message of support from Nicole Scherzinger reinforced her social standing.

A forgiving, and very generous, Chloe replied: NicoleScherzy Sorry you couldn't make it to the launch! But some Soles are on the way to U! Hope u love them. Big kiss.'

But with all the guests tottering home with bags of goodies, the event seemed to go well for Chloe.

She confirmed in a tweet afterwards: 'The best shoe launch ever feel on top of the world!JG can't wait for thursday!

The CJG collection - which is expected to retail between 80 to 200 - will be available to buy online and from Topshop in Oxford Circus as of May 17.

Indeed, several friends have found creative ways to maintain the independence they ostensibly sacrificed in the name of equality. One has a secret trove of prewedding savings she never mentioned to her husband so she can spend beyond the jointly agreed monthly spending allowance. "I like having a bit of a buffer," she says. Another tries to get away with the occasional shopping spree by buying her husband a new pair of shoes for every pair she buys herself.

But if the women spend the money, the guys control it.

Only one of the friends I interviewed is in charge of family finances (her husband once forgot to cancel his gym membership when he changed cities because he didn't check his bank statements for 18 months).

Half of the 36 women in my sample with joint mortgages did not know the interest rate they pay. Fourteen admitted not remembering the password to their joint bank account. Ten couldn't say how much money was currently in their accounts, and a handful didn't know how much they earn after tax.
