Ruby

Anna Sui dress. Vintage belt, ring & scarf (on railing). Chanel shoes.
"The Silver Shoes,' said the Good Witch, 'have wonderful powers. & one of the most curious things about them is that they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps & each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times & command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go" - L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

My schoolgirl dress (from Anna Sui's spring 2010 RTW fashion show) is sweet as Candy paired with the Girl from Oz's ruby slippers. Dorothy wears silver shoes in L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz but red ones in the movie The Wizard of Oz. Ruby slippers are far superior to silver ones... It's fitting that these iconic accessories comes from the film, not book; perhaps it took a costume designer to appreciate the Technicolor possibilities of crimson footwear - I can't imagine more romantic soles.
