Me Too Lulu Flat

Filed under Ballet Flats
This fall, look for ballet flats in rich colors like these soft Italian leather flats from Me Too. These fabulous flats feature an oversize rosette and tiny metal studs. These shoes are as comfortable as they are cute with their flexible rubber sole and foam-cushioned footbed.
I adore them in purple, but they are also available in black and red, as well as bronze and pewter metallics.
Priced at $89.95 a pair, you can find the Me Too Lulu flats at Nordstrom. Me Too offers a variety of cute ballet flats including their Layton flat in a leopard print calf hair. As …read more
Shoe Trends: Fall Textures
August 15, 2009 by Kori Ellis
Filed under Ballet Flats, Boots
Fall fashion is all about texture — velvety shoes, ruffled dresses, suede handbags and studded accessories. It’s fun to combine contrasting textures — for example romantic pleated blouses with edgy leather boots. Today, let’s look at some shoes and boots from Neiman Marcus in interesting textures for fall.

Ruby & Bloom ‘Trisha’ Pump

Filed under Ballet Flats, Patent Leather, Pumps
Though they call these shoes “pumps”, they are really ballet flats with a little 1-inch heel. Combining rich suede and shiny patent leather, the Ruby & Bloom pump is a cute selection for fall. These shoes come in your choice of black, espresso or navy.
I’m usually not crazy about shoes with stubby heels. I prefer 3 inches or higher, totally flat, or a curvy kitten heel. These shoes find themselves somewhere above a flat but in no man’s land.
If you love these shoes, it’s a great time to buy from Nordstrom. Regularly priced at $89.95, these shoes are on sale …read more

Suede is a hot choice in fall fashion in everything from knee-high boots to hobo handbags. I love these suede flats from Linea Paolo. These charming shoes features a zipper trimmed bow and ultra soft suede. With a breathable lining and flexible sole, these shoes are as comfy as they are cute. Here, we see these shoes in fuchsia suede but they are also available in dark blue, black and dark brown.
Regularly priced at $99.95 (already a good deal), these shoes are currently on sale at Nordstrom for $64.90.

Juicy Couture Jade Flat

Filed under Ballet Flats
Jeweled flat sandals are trendy right now and that goes for other types of flats too. We are seeing may ballet flats adorned with jewels, crystals and other embellishments. The Juicy Couture Jade flat is designed from soft nappa leather and has a cluster of vintage-inspired jewels above the peep-toe.
These flats are super soft and easy to wear. They come in either teal blue (which is a great color for fall) or pale pink. The leather has a bit of an iridescent finish to give them a bit of a metallic touch.
These shoes are gathered around the edge for extra …read more

Apepazza Simba Flat

Come fall, we are going to see a lot of suede. So let’s get started with these gorgeous ballet flats. The Apepazza Simba flat features a jeweled embellishment on the toe and a rich suede upper. They come in purple, yellow or black suede.
These shoes have lots of nice details, from the tonal jewels to the tiny mirrored heel. Personally, I love the purple version but you could definitely get some use out of the yellow ones this summer (and black flats are always a great staple).
These Apepazza suede flats are available at Nordstrom right now, priced at $149.95.
