{things i covet} metallic corded suede and leather sandals by gucci
[Photos from Net-a-Porter - $595, available here]
I'm in sandal mode lately–thinking about all the pairs I own and daydreaming about new ones that I'd like to add to my collection. I can't imagine ever spending a few hundred dollars on flat sandals (there's so little to them structure-wise and they sit so close to ground), but this pair by Gucci sure has me tempted. I love the sand-colored suede and metallic corded details–they're all subtle enough to blend into your skin and complement breezy summery looks. Though I just bought the DV Archer sandals in black (here), I spent some time admiring the all-gold look in stores–the effect was similarly lovely.
What do you think? Do you prefer attention-grabbing or understated designs when it comes to flat sandals?
Want to get the look for less?

{things i covet} soft stirrup light brown nubuck leather shoulder bag by gucci
[Photo from Gucci - $1950, available here]
For a person like me who's currently feeling very autumnal, this bag by Gucci is a dream. When I look at its sandy brown color, soft nubuck leather, and slouchy silhouette, all I can see are falling leaves, chunky sweaters, and knee-high boots. Gucci's 'sirrup' bag is a classic: the model, with its double handles drawn up from four corners and covered by a thick dropped strap, debuted in 1975 and has been recently brought up-to-date with a few reinventions. The equestrian touches that remain–I can count five spurs on the detailing here–are just as trademark as the luxurious exterior and logo-lined interior. An cold-weather Italian classic? Yes please.
