Stud Struck

While summer trends are still in full bloom, we see no harm in anticipating fall’s new fashions a little early to satiate our sartorial cravings, especially when we discover a shoe as glamorous as Valentino’s Suede Booties. These studded sweethearts epitomize the Italian label’s current tough-luxe aesthetic, merging iconic elegance with the edgy-yet-sophisticated attitude of creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli—talk about a match made in shoe heaven!

Featuring gold pyramid studs, these suede and leather booties in a feminine pastel pink—an unavoidable, of-the-moment hue—are the perfect pair to add a touch of toughness to any polished look. Agree? Dip your feet in this decadent duo before the leaves begin to fall and style them with a simple pleated dress, nude nails and a studded clutch to boot for a cool, fashion-forward look worthy of any stylish soiree or glamorous night out with the girls!
