Oscar de la Renta Jeweled Buckle Satin Sandal at Neiman Marcus

What I’m loving now: SHOES WITH BOWS.  This fall, I found my dream shoe.  The shoe that has inspired this entire post.

This is a shoe I would jump oceans for (or try).  It’s timeless, elegant, feminine, and eternally chic.  TRULY.  I adore the bow on the back.  Admit it, isn’t it just Audrey Hepburn gone de la Renta?  I check Neiman Marcus’ website daily and just gaze at it wistfully.  I really hope they run out of my size soon so I have an excuse as to why they can’t adorn my feet. Stunning.

Charlotte Olympia - Minerva Laser-Cut Suede Pumps

I did a post on Charlotte Olympia this past summer and of COURSE she (Charlotte Dellal) was in American VOGUE two months later.  I have the eye, what can I say? These pumps, or booties, are just darling.  They’d be adorable with tights and a mini this fall. The bows add a touch of glamour and the shoes on their own hold such an elegant shape with those slim heels.

Bow-Embellished Leather and Lace Pumps from Valentino

This pair is pretty much a classic Valentino nothing-out-of-the-ordinary type of shoe.  But, I do love the texture.  I think leather and lace is a really interesting combination and there is certainly a lot of it around this fall.  I personally prefer lace over leather, but I think the latter adds a touch of modernity and grounds the fabric so it doesn’t feel so French boudoir.  Leather and lace is very “now” feeling and I’d certainly like to see more of it.  I think it could make for an interesting bedspread and pillow set.

Prada - Lace-Up Bow Slingbacks

I adore these booties from Prada and am in LOVE with the fact that they are light gray.  I think it is wonderful that light gray is being dubbed the new neutral and I hope it stays that way for some time.  These are so chic and I’d love to wear them with a pair of black lace tights from Donna Karan or polka dot tights from J.Crew.

Crystal Bow Ballerina Flats from Lanvin

These flats are so cute.  They’d be a perfect pair of shoes to wear to work and make that business attire a little more glam.  They look so comfortable too!  They are certainly classic with a twist.  Gorgeous.

Miu Miu Peep-Toe Bow Spectator Pumps

This shoe is simply smart looking.  I love this twist on classic spectator pumps.  It’s so girly and sophisticated at the same time.  I think the color is very pretty and most assuredly a neutral that would go with anything! Noone would have the nerve to mess with a woman wearing these shoes.

Bouquet Platform- Christian Louboutin

Rose Platform Sandal - Valentino

Sublime Sandal- Yves Saint Laurent

I amore the flower trend that is going on right now, even though it’s not spring.  And, I love the delicate beauty and details that go along with the current trend.  It’s not just flower prints, it’s about recreating the flower and its essence.  This allows the lucky wearer to truly have the illusion of wearing blooms, embracing femininity at its most beautiful.  Priced both high, low, & in-between.. these are a few of my most recent FLORAL favorites.
