"Any girl that's got a $500,000 table and $5 shoes, I'm in love with."

Tassels are going to big news this autumn, with Louboutin, Bottega Veneta and Burberry Prorsum featuring them heavily in their collections. While most of us are only just beginning to think about wearing flip-flops again, the designers are focusing on what's hot for autumn/winter '06. I'm really not sure about this trend as they scream 'golf shoes' to me but come fall, I'm sure we'll all be wondering how we ever lived without our tasselled toed shoes.










Bottega Veneta's brown calfskin 'Kiltie' pump is the most expensive of the tasselled trio at $690. Christian Louboutin's 'Steva' stacked pump is slightly more affordable at £410 while my favourite of them all and which I am already starting to imagine myself wearing are Burberry Prorsum's 'Bunhill' patent sandals at £345. Word of warning: they're all already describing these as the editor's favourite on Net a Porter so for those fashion-forward folk, I recommend you get in quick!
