I love this shot of a chic Italian woman by The Sartorialist. I have included a few versions of the cool lace-up shoes she is wearing in this post  in an effort to recreate this outfit. Unfortunately that amazing jumpsuit looks like it is one of a kind.

These vintage cross earrings provide the perfect pop of color. If you are a maximalist then you would probably pair them with something like the floral jumpsuit pictured above. Personally I would style these with an understated monochrome look.

I am still bummed neither pair of  Lanvin sandals came in my size. If I owned the pair on the right I would never take them off.

Lace-up flats by Helmut Lang! The velvet is a perfect transition into Fall.

These Robert Clergerie ankle boots are a Fall must have. Picture: white skinny jeans , camel coat, and croc bag. How cool are those contrasting soles? You could probably even get away with wearing them in on a nice summer night . . .
