STEVEN by Steve Madden Alyra Flat ($119.95) An easy way to dive into the stud trend is with your shoes and these studded pointy toe ballet flats are just perfect!

Charles by Charles Davide Serenade Flat ($64.95) An ultra girly ballet flat in a sweet shade of pale pink and champagne satin. These would look darling in the spring and summer with floral dresses!

Guess Lawri Ballet Flat ($78.95) If you want a something with a bit of a heel but still super easy to walk in, these are for you. The metallic gold will go quite well numerous outfits.

Jessica Simpson Betrice Flat ($68.95) Another feminine flat this time in a cool shade of grey. I love how the bow on the front is embellished with little studs, too cute!

Chocolate Blu Dannelle Ornamental Flat ($97.95)  Don’t you love the colour of these? They’re such a pretty shade of purple suede.  Don’t like the purple? It’s also available in black and brown.

Wear these with jeans, skirts, dresses with casual outfits and even out on the town. There’s no rule about heels being required on a night out.

There are loads more adorable and embellished ballet flats on the Endless website. And remember they offer free overnight shipping on every order – love that!

5 Fabulous Flats for Fall

The color block style, wide hem of a contrasting color, yellow material, and pleating are all very *in* and trendy elements this season.  I especially like how they did a smooth pleat on the bodice leading into the pleat at the top of a full skirt.  This is a really nice design.

Accessorize it with this Andrew Marc white leather handbag (which is currently reduced by $220) or these Jessica Simpson yellow wedge heels (which are 41% off)!
