Don't look now, but I think the knot front is staging a takeover bid from the bow front as the footwear embellishment of choice this season. Oh, those bows are still around, but the knot makes a nice change, and these gorgeous patent leather pumps from Bakers are the perfect example of how good it can look. This is a classic, sexy shape, but if the pink patent leather screams "aaargh! Barbie!" to you, the shoes are also available in a rather more refined black or purple.
