If you’ve been following Trends & Tribulations for a while, you are probably aware of my unhealthy obsession with a certain number of designers of the namesakes Charlotte Olympia, Sophia Webster, Nicholas Kirkwood, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Christian Louboutin. Therefore, I try extremely hard to showcase other designers in our beloved SPT’s, basically so its not just alternating between the aforementioned 5. Once in awhile, however, I just can’t help but show off a new shoe love.
Without further ado, I present Miss Charlotte Olympia’s ‘Mascot’ Pumps. In a vibrant cherry red color, these are basically the epitome of classic cool, and look like they belong on the feet of our favorite It girls, like Alexa Chung or Olivia Palermo.
Pair these lovely kicks with a pair of cropped cigarette jeans or with a crisp, structured mini skirt for an all-out preppy look.

Burberry Prorsum‘s Fall/Winter 2014-15‘s collection of artwork-inspired prints are absolutely gorgeous and a refreshing turn from their signature check print. The designs are drawn freehand on leather, cashmere, and, of course, their signature trench coats.
While the coats and bags are certainly statement pieces, I was most drawn to their collection of watercolor-inspired heels. These are definitely a classic statement piece. With many different shades and colors incorporated into the designs, they can easily dress up a basic colored dress, or be paired with a trenchcoat for a retro-inspired look. Check out the beauties below!

What do you think of these leather boots by Burberry? Which color is your favorite- Stone Blue, Red, or Brown?
Kate Middleton has one of the most coordinated and well put together wardrobes around. Her style is the epitome of “classic”, along the likes of Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie O. She masters the balance of chic with conservatism to create an effortless style. And, let’s face it, anyone who can play hockey in heels is good in my book.
