Appetizers, cupcakes, wine and deeply discounted shoes: it rarely gets sweeter than this.

Swing by the “Day of the Diva” (yes, we cringed at the title too) this week, where you can munch on cupcakes by Butterfly and sip on wine courtesy Chez Moi while trying on skyscraper heels from the Veruschka label, which will be discounted by up to 60%. Cakewalk, indeed!

Trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Payal Kothari launched Veruschka in 2005, and stocks at stores like Aza and Amara. While many of her designs are too Bollywood-y (and also dangerous – she doesn’t seem to believe in practical footwear), we did find some toe-stoppers: look out for sequined pumps embellished in gold and silver sequins, and an adorable pair of retro polka-dot peep-toes. She also makes handbags, often to match her shoes.

So go ahead, step inn – even if you don’t find the pair of your dreams, you’ll at least have cupcakes and wine to heel your afternoon!

Getting there: Shuubham Art Gallery, Waterfield Road, near Moti Mahal, Bandra (W), on March 9 and 10, from 11 am to 8 pm, visit www.veruschka.in for designs or view the Facebook page here.
