This autumn/winter you will be able to sort you footwear wardrobe for the whole season from one of three strong stories. You could look for those must have knee high boots from the ‘Lost in Space' inspired theme? This futuristic theme, heavily inspired by the 70's B movies of yesterday year sees caged structures, lots of volume but all presented with Schuh's tongue in cheek quirky kitchness.

    "As far as vibrators are concerned, the Rampant Rabbit (£24.99) far outsells many of the others. It's all-singing, all-dancing, swivelling, beads and everything," says Jacqueline Gold, the head of the Ann Summers retail empire flicking a strand of dark hair over her shoulder.

    Ahem, I say, going a similar shade of pink as the vividly coloured creation which seems to have more attachments than a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Is that because it was featured on Channel Four's show Sex in the City? "It's partly that and partly because girls are becoming much more adventurous and sophisticated.

    2008 report

    When Ann Summers first went online in 1999, the erotica store sold one million vibrators in the UK in just 12 months. At the most conservative estimate, at least 2.5 million are now sold in the UK every year, and the market is growing at a rate of 20-25% per year.

    12 Mar 2008 ... When you switch it on it ripples; it really does give a wave of pleasure. We sell almost 3 million vibrators a year. At the first Ann Summers party I saw a customer pass a vibrator round that was switched on.

    I am going 3 million
