Today's love: Nicholas Kirkwood Pumps

I promise, I'm not transitioning to instagram-only posts. Lol! The genius packer in me left my camera USB cable back in Milan, and I can't download any of my images from yesterday. So as compensation for my scatter-braininess, I offer you an instapic of my latest shoe lust. These Nicholas Kirkwood pumps are total collage happiness! I don't know if I'll be able to wear them here in NY, have you seen the images of the snow that Nemo sprinkled on the city yesterday? Are you in town? Despite the wet and slippery streets and impossible traffic, I thought it was kind of perfect. Don't you? As for these beauties, I'm enjoying them here in my room dressed in Suno PJs and wearing lip gloss. Have a lovely weekend! xox, Tamu

Featured in Net-A-Porter's "The Shoe Guide"

Yummy Focaccia party, that's what I would call my Net-A-Porter "Shoe Guide" shoot. I was blown away that their team was flying to Milan for an afternoon just to shoot my shoe closet, and I wanted to prepare a nice snack for them. However, I had to shoot a project for work the morning of the shoot and had no time to arrange anything. So on my way home from work, I picked up some freshly baked focaccia from Princi. To my relief they really enjoyed it and took some with them for the trip home. It was so much fun having the team over my house to play with one of my favorite things in the world: SHOES! A special thanks to Claudia Plant, Net-A-Porter's Editorial Director; Stephanie Forrester, Natalie Rigg, Asha Joneja, Amy Turkington, Jessica Mahaffey and Greg Holland!

I love the guide, and I am so honored to be included among inspiring style icons like Caroline Issa and Anna Laub!

Milan Fashion Week FW12/13 Day 2

I love the mix of greens in Eleonora's lady-like look. The pop of yellow from her handbag and her gorgeous Lucite heel pumps are super special touches!

Elisa's brown and blue combo is super chic. Her sparkly sleeves, panther clutch and crystal floral applique pumps are fiercely brilliant details.

I've been dying to see Prada SS12 off the runway and on the streets. I knew that I could count on Anna. This is stunning!

Camilla's adorable look of turban, mint-green coat with fox detailing, over-size clutch, and booties sent me running down the street to capture this picture. So cute!

How do I love Emily's look? Let me count the reasons: (1) a denim jacket, (2) a fur collar, (3) a patent leather skirt, (4) trouser socks and (5) colorful sandals especially (6) in the winter.

Leaf is the queen of mixing graphic prints and motifs. Her combo here is meow-tastic.

Silvia, one of Grazia.it's very own "IT Girls", effortlessly pulls of a mix cowboy hat and denim shirt, a moto jacket, preppy check pants and white pumps. Damn, she's good!
