A Few Good Flats

Embarrassing fashion blogger confession time: I have no cute flats in my closet. Like, not even a pair of boring black ones.

I know it should be some sort of crime (especially considering that my feet are not big fans of heels), but I am severely lacking in this department. I seem to have replaced them with wedges, but sometimes, you just need something a little more casual and comfy but a little hipper than your every day pair of chucks. Am I right?

I have fond memories of flats past, especially my sequined flats from Old Navy. Remember those? I’d love to find a few affordable and versatile pairs to take their place in my heart, because honestly this is just ridiculous.

Here are some that stood out in my hunt;

1.Wanted Ritzy Pewter Metallic Sparkle Slip-On Flats; 2. Old Navy Glitter Flats; 3. Old Navy Cap-Toe Canvas Flats; 4. TOMS Glitter Slip-Ons; 5. A Gloss for Words Flats

Lovable Friday!

1. Kate Spade Pumps

I’m pretty sure Kate Spade should pay me at this point for the incessant promotion on my blog, or at least offer me some free swag, don’t you think? I can’t help that all her designs are so perfectly feminine with just the right touch of rebellion. Case in point: these gorgeous pumps. Vibrant yellow seems like it is going to be the shade of the spring, and paired with this playfully striped heel, you’ll be the life of the party. Or at least the target for jealous glances.

Sprightly: ShoeDazzle Review

I know I had already done a review for the ShoeDazzle service back when I received my first pair, but since I’ve been a member on the site for several months now, I thought my opinion would be more valuable this time around. I have to say that I have been pretty happy with the site. The older I get, the less time I want to spend in malls dealing with large quantities of frustrating people, so the fact that I can order a new pair of affordable and adorable shoes with just one click is so appealing. Plus, I was able to make some adjustments to my showroom and now am receiving way more fun selections, which was one of my main gripes.

Squeeworthy: Fall Booties

Fashion confession: I have thick legs. So thick that I often cannot fit in all those trendy, hot knee high boots. This has made me sad for a very long time. Sure, we don’t have a whole lot of “sweater weather” down here in Miami, but when we do, my footsies ache to wear a beautiful pair of boots. I guess you can blame it on the you always want what you can’t have theory. This is where booties come in to save the day – now these I can wear without a problem and they still have the look and feel of a good fall boot! Plus, they are more than appropriate for our tropical weather as they aren’t as intense as their taller counterparts. Here are some of my favorites that I have stumbled on the web:
