Shuesday: Embellishments, baby

Shoes are getting fancy for fall - Christian Lacroix is showing big velvet bows, Miu Miu's boots are studded, Prada's passionate about paillettes, and Louboutin proffers platforms in leopard, suede and lace, for those of us who embrace our prerogative to change our minds. Haircalf is everywhere, on bags as well as shoes, and most often in animal prints - you know something's gone mainstream when J. Crew's overcharging for it.

The FG is a fan of these Isabella Fiore grosgrain ribbon pumps - slightly more reasonable in price, and just darling. And this pony print bag from Furla is very fun.
