VALENTINO









Today I am wearing Alessandra Facchinetti's very sweet first collection for Valentino. Her departure from the label after just two seasons was not so pretty but lets not dwell on that and just coo over the delicious shoes!


look, the one on the left has just found out she gets to wear them too and they're dancing with joy!

...are these Toppers booties nice? I love the fabrics they've used and I can imagine they would look great with a pair of skinnies but is the shape just too dumpy? I can't decide.


Talking of Topshop shoes aren't these just so foxy. They don't look so great on the site itself but come alive when paw (foot) adorned. They create such a lovely shape for the leg, gosh I sound like some sort of shoe perv!


Topshop is consistently great at making affordable footwear but for serious shoe lovers check these YSL babys out, they say that shoes are the first thing on a girls shopping list when there's a recession (gasp sorry I thought I'd sworn never to use that word) - any excuse to buy shoes!


But what happens if you see some shoes that aren't so easy to snap up? I once followed a particularly gorgeous pair of heels all the way down Via Montenapoleone in Milano just to ask their owner where she had found them (and promptly went out and got myself a pair!). Similarly, I am IN LOVE with these gorgeous yellow YSL's courtesy of Jak and Jil blog, and those peg leg trousers, what a combo... any ideas where we can get our paws on them... anyone?


Aother thing that I have fallen head over heels for is the jewellery of Lizzie Fortunato I really like the fact that the high value is not because of diamonds or gold but because of the craftmanship and love that goes into each piece. enjoy!
