Let's all just take a moment to bask in the beauty that is Valentino.....

Ok - phew. I could stare at them all day.  

I have been eBaying like a demon for quite some time in order to make these little studded beauties mine. 

I always had my heart set on the classic black flats with nude (either patent or matte) but when I went to visit them my heart wasn't set aflutter. Very bad sign. 

It was only after seeing these burgundy ones on the beautiful Laura Fantacci that I set my cap at the same style in this wonderfully autumnal hue. (I also had the best experience with FarFetch - my pair came courtesy of a boutique in Vienna in two days flat). 

I cannot WAIT to wear them. An utterly classic shoe that I'll treasure for years to come.
