Black and tan... Adorable ruffle trench coat by R.E.D. Valentino

Those are heels! Italian fashion houses are full of rhinestone-studded, metal-plated hot hot heels this fall.

Yes, this coat by Mayle is very cute, but what really draws me to it is the materials it's made of... alpaca and silk!

I seem to have acquired a morbid fascination with this whole Burberry attempt to go pseudo punk with over studding...
