The new fancy flat

August 22nd, 2007

If you’re a ballet flat fan, then an ornate and sparkly version is your Autumn update. In line with all things glamorous, glossy, dramatic and eye-catching this season, this shoe is a must if your Summers are long and your Winters are mild. Say goodbye to basics and hello to oversized buckles, tactile quilting, piping, chain detailing, jumbo jewels and pretty bows. They’re perfect with jeans, slacks, skirts, dresses and leggings when you’re after a practical look that’s a touch more posh. These peds are particularly good with a dark pair of straight-leg jeans because it shows the shoe off at it’s best. Great for errands, shopping, running around and any other activity that requires an 8-hour shoe. Sensible style at it’s best.

Those shoes ARE fab. I’m loving them. (yes, have a bit of a ballet flat fetish)

No chance that they could double as “biz cas” or smart casual as well? Or are they only/best for casual but chic?

I have more ballet flats than anyone I know, as a result of not being able to wear heels for so long. I love them. Those Maya flats aren’t too shabby either.

I love buckles on shoes. What’s more I love that one can click on any of the product pictures you post and be transported to the site the product is sold at. Thank you!

Absolutely Christie. Fancy flats will take you anywhere. Biz casual and smart casual occasions are perfect for these chic striding peds.
