What was once reserved for pretty women who walked the streets has now made its way to the catwalks and, potentially, on to your feet. I'm talking about the over-the-knee or thigh-high boot. Worn with a short dress or even shorts, a hint of leg is all you need to show some sex appeal. We're loving the perforation of the Stella McCartney pair, but the Miu Mius and Choos are just as cute.

A perfect compliment to the Prada Resort 2010 collection, Miuccia Prada got sporty with Miu Miu this season. As was the case with the Prada collection, mixed prints were a major theme while skirts in both collections were short and flirty. Miu Miu, always the more accessible of the two lines, showed paler colors and offered, overall, more fluid silhouettes.

Topshop Does Miu Miu Sequins For Summer

Given the sheer quantity of sequined clothing that hit shelves last season we're surprised anyone can stomach the look anymore. Leave it to Miuccia Prada to re-imagine the trend so that it sticks around for another year. Her nude and black embroidered sequin looks as part of the Miu Miu Fall 2009 collection looked elegant and, relatively speaking, minimal. Topshop--ever so savvy with interpreting the newest collections without crossing the intellectual property line--has appropriated the look months ahead of the game.

If your Facebook picture is four haircuts old we suggest you pick up these pieces from Topshop and have yourself a 2009 photo shoot with the gals. The shoes are so Miu Miu, the suit is a great basic, and the cap, well, the cap could come in handy in a million other ways. A few amazing Halloween costumes come to mind. Topshop is winning us over one outfit at a time, as you can see.
