Take note, my lovely friends.

For her ‘The X Factor’ co-judge Dannii Minogue’s 38th birthday, Cheryl Cole splashed out on a pair of £700 Christian Louboutin heels for the birthday girl.

And Dannii was so thrilled with the black and white lace shoes that she posted a picture of the heels on her Twitter page, with an accompanying caption: “Birthday present from Mrs Cole – LOVELY J’Adore!!!!”

What a fabulous present!! But it does make it difficult for Dannii to find a gift to outdo her when it comes to Cheryl’s 27th birthday next June.

So, if anyone needs ideas for my birthday present – please do follow in the steps of Cheryl!!
