As the fall 08 ready to wear shows come to a close, Miuccia Prada’s not letting us down easy.  If ever there’s someone to be counted on for interesting shoes, it’s Miu Miu (and Prada, too, but Miu Miu’s got a more eclectic, funky style going on).  Remember the spring 08 gardening shoes?

Well, fall 08’s answer is here, and it’s fun and fresh, and I love it.

There are pumps that look demure from the front and hyper-architectural from the side.

There are playful peep-toes and pseudo-loafers with metallics and sequins and bright, fun colors that look like they could have come straight out of Candyland.

And, most delightfully to my mind, there are these GORGEOUS boots that were paired up with my favorite outfit of the entire collection.

Now, if only my wallet and body would let me get away with these without screaming in protest.
