I'm Italian. Love for all things gaudy flows through my veins, leaving me entranced by everything velvet and leopard. Fortunately, Fall 2010 fashion seems to be going guido, almost begging me to style myself in the two most luxe (read: loud) trends around. 

I dare you not to dream about this shoe tonite.

Extra points if you can wear both, simultaneously. 

Uh... seriously so what if it got up to 80 in Los Angeles today?
