Competition for book-lovers: clue no. 6 (and deadline extended)

We’ve decided to extend the deadline to our competition until mid-day, Wednesday 15 December. Here’s another clue:

Not quite Manolos, but just as stylish

The clue refers to question 1; the answer to question 2 is in the blog (November posts).

Answers (correct ones, naturally!) must be submitted no later than mid-day of Wednesday 15 December 2010 (UK time) via the comments or by email. I won’t be publishing the comments, to these posts, so you won’t be giving the answer away.
