Death of the It bag and shoe? Pah! More like birth of the bag and shoeocracy. These days, there's arm candy for everyone - from Smythson's glitz-shy, executive-friendly Nancy to the high-fashion charms of the latest Mulberry tote and the discreet appeal of the newest name to drop, Pauric Sweeney. As for shoes, that's where the frivolity is in fashion now. Crazier, more colourful and higher than ever, let your imagination rip with your feet.
