Miu Miu Embellished Leather Shoulder Bag: Just a Spoonful of Sugar

Even at their most eccentric, Miu Miu always scores major appeal points for cuteness. This little shoulder bag is way adorable, plain and simple. Yet it doesn’t go overboard on saccharine charm. On the contrary, a sweet girl with a tomboy edge would do right by this.

The leather is the perfect shade of rosy pink, tinged with mauve, that’s not too girly. Just subdued enough, it’s got the required level of sophistication to be taken – and worn – seriously. But not too seriously! The simple shape maintains strength (a more complicated silhouette would just be too much), but a fairy-dusted sprinkling of bows and sparkle spells “girls just wanna have fun.” I love, love, love the blend of clear crystals with studs, gold and silver so you can go any way you please with other accessories. On Net-a-Porter for $1,150.

Pair with: A Peter Pan-collared black dress, like Alice + Olivia’s Bradley shirtdress, walks the line between innocent and mischievous – and so do you. On ShopBop for $297.
