Though shoes are a great way to add a punch of color to your look, you also must have a collection of neutral shoes that are versatile enough to go with almost anything in your wardrobe. Black, taupe, cream, grey and other neutrals are essentials in any woman’s closet. If you are looking for some cute flats, here are three neutral ballerina flats from Nordstrom that you will love.

Linea Paolo Avary Flat – $109.95
These flats feature a squared off toe that is highlighted in contrasting patent leather. They come in three color schemes – white/black, pale pink/beige and just black. Small jewels encase the decorative laces. I think the white/black version pictured here is perfect to wear with some of the geometric black and white prints that are hot for springtime.

These cute flats feature perforated leather trimmed with glossy patent. They are a simple style that is jazzed up with the perforations. These shoes are from the Stuart Weitzman Spring 2009 collection and available for pre-order right now online at Nordstrom.

French Sole Sloop Flat – $94.95
Black flats don’t have to be boring. These shiny patent flats from French Sole feature a unique shape that is as comfortable as it it chic. They have a slipper-like appeal but are all dress up in glossy patent leather. These run small, so order the next half size up. They also come in pink, silver and other colors.

When you think of Emilio Pucci, you probably think of colorful prints. However, that’s not always true. Case in point, these black sequined booties.

These evening shoes are definitely unique. They feature a shootie silhouette with a peep-toe. The allover black sequins will add some shine and sparkle to your evening attire.

You can get these Emilio Pucci booties right now at Neiman Marcus for $750.

Shoes that feature both black and white are very versatile. You can wear them year round with almost anything. And when you can find them in shiny patent leather, they are simply gorgeous.

Here are some of my favorite black and white patent shoes.

A. Marinelli Esther Slingback Platform

These shoes feature slick black patent leather and contrasting white trim. The peep-toe and slight platform make them a sexy option. You can wear these from the office to night out dancing without skipping a beat. These are $100 at Zappos.com.

L.A.M.B. Gianira Peep Toe Oxford

Chic and sophisticated, this peep-toe shoe features smooth white leather mixed with black patent for a very modern twist on the classic spectator oxford. You can get these shoes right now at Nordstrom for $325.

L.A.M.B. Daizy Pump

Another choice from L.A.M.B. (Gwen Stefani’s shoe line) is the Daizy pump, which comes in white patent leather with black trim, or black patent leather with silver trim. Either color is a very beautiful choice. These shoes are $295 at Nordstrom.com.

Enzo Angliolini Brean Patent Slingback

Another black and white slingback that is sure to please is this shoe from Enzo Angiolini. It features a white heel and trim, along with sleek black patent leather. These patent shoes offer an interesting design that makes them a unique choice. Available at Zappos.com, these slingback pumps are $100.

Patent Summer Sandals

Shiny patent will continue its popularity through the warm weather months in 2008. Look for simple, casual sandals in slick patent from black to brights.

Here are two of my current favorites from Endless.com.

Bandolino Ibigail Sandal

Faux patent and real cork combine to create this cute, casual sandal from Bandolino. This shoe comes in black, white and dark blue. This sandal features a 1-inch platform and 3-inch heel. These shoes are just $69.95.

Nine West Ednes Sandal

Similar to the Bandolino style, this sandal from Nine West comes in a variety of colors. My two favorites are the bright pink and yellow patent leather versions. These shoes are perfect to wear with capris, jeans or even flouncy summer dresses. These thong sandals are also just $69.95.

If you are looking to add an elegant designer shoe to your wardrobe that you can wear throughout the holiday season, the Manolo Blahnik Gelsoba 70 Satin slingback is a great option.

These black satin shoes feature a heel that’s just under 3 inches. So they are high enough without being too high. You can wear these shoes with a little black dress, velvet pantsuit, or even to work.

Right now they are on sale in limited sizes at Barneys, marked down from $525 to $340.
