If you live somewhere in the wake of Hurricane Irene, are stuck inside and fortunate enough to still have power, allow me to entertain you for a bit with DV by Dolce Vita's Fall 2011 look book. DV is Dolce Vita's more accessible line (with many shoes priced under $100). You may know and love Dolce Vita from their budget friendly collabs with Target.
This fall lookbook features the brand's favorite selections of the season, covering the trends of casual menswear-inspired shoes, high wedges and platforms, colorblocking, Americana and glitter, and will be available at dolcevita.com. I'm picking up subtle references to Christian Louboutin, Miu Miu, Charlotte Olympia and more, which may explain why I'm in love with just about all of them. Can you pick a favorite?
