Love these looks from Temperley Pre-Fall 2013 collection. So prim and ladylike yet so chic. Adore the long-sleeve tent coat dress!

The lovely ankle-strap platform heels really made all these looks for me.

These pink shoes from Liz Lisa are so cute! Mary jane with chunky platform heels, ankle-strap wedges with pretty bows, heart-shaped cutouts and embroidery — I adore them all! But I don’t have the wardrobe to match the pretty, frilly pinkness of it all.

 

But this one! Surely I can make room for this? Camel suede booties with grosgrain ribbon laces (also in brown and pink).

These shoes and accessories from Valentino Spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection made me switch from my bulky, masculine riding boot hunting mode to lover of the feminine lightness of all things transparent and sparkly — strappy high heels with studs, peep-toe slingback heels and wedges. Perfect footwear to showcase fun, neon colors on your toes and would look equally good with bright red nails or a subdued French manicure.

Ooh, and this totally see-through boxy clutch (so impractical but still love it) and bangles!

Also from the same runway show, a couple of creamy pastel accessories. This pretty clutch + bangle combo in a pale jadite green looks good enough to eat. Yum!
