Studded Valentino

Alexa Chung accents an otherwise ladylike look with a studded Valentino clutch to add just the right amount of edge. Also, she puts her best foot forward with a pair of absurdly adorable Charlotte Olympia kitty flats. Can I just say: I've developed a somewhat-healthy obsession with those charmingly quirky shoes. Santa Baby, do your thing—please & thank you.

I'm not religious when it comes to shoes ( I say 'religious' because I swear, some girls make sure their shoes are devout Christians-- see what I did there? #Louboutin) and would rather splurge on various basic staples or a handbag. However, when I came across this Charlotte Olympia heel, I instantly fancied the neon accents mixed with the print. The woman sporting these heels should be ready to command everyone's attention & have a personality much like these shoes: colorful, daring, & fun !
