Chic with a splash of lacy

These shoes by Valentino make every step a splash of feminine lace. I would wear them with a very structured, fitted shift dress, preferably of the thickest silk: black, nude or vivid red = vamp fairy.

Fashion, Beauty and Wildlife

"Astrid Munoz, HRH Madeleine of Sweden and Eugenie Niarchos were only some of the VIPs who graced the HC FW 13/14 show with their presence. Admire them in all their feminine splendor wearing some of the most sophisticated looks from the Valentino Spring Summer 13 and Pre Fall 13 collections."
