Ballet Flats

Lanvin flats have a reputation for being the most comfortable, stylish and impeccably crafted of all ballerinas, and one of the best color combinations to invest in is tan and gold. They will instantly warm up your skin tone and add a little luxury to your basic skinny or bootcut jeans and tee. Throw on a pashmina scarf and a couple gold bangles and you’ll look effortlessly stylish! But great quality usually comes with an equally great price tag, so if you’re hooked, let us introduce you to a simply jaw-dropping option B. Scroll down and be amazed!

Leave it to Christian Louboutin to take a simple, sweet ballerina flat and make it sexy—and subversive. There’s nothing about the Big Kiss Flat I don’t like, from the gleaming black patent, to the spiky silver studs. Well, truth be told, there are a couple tiny problems with these shoes: the typically high Louboutin price tag, and the fact that although they debuted in the Resort 2010 collection, they’re already sold out.

Gianni Bini “Vanity” Studded Flats

UPDATE (05/17/2011): Here’s another though not quite as spot-on Louboutin spiked alternative coming from Gianni Bini. Available in black or nude.

Candela Studded Punk Flats

UPDATE (06/14/2010): I also just came across these fabulous though somewhat pricey Big Kiss look-a-likes by Candela. Available in either black or white leather.

Steve Madden “KAISAR” Studded Flats

Since Louboutin’s Big Kiss is not only pricey, but just about impossible to acquire, you can get your good girl/bad girl fill with the Steve Madden “Kaisar” studded flat. It’s not quite as spiky, but lots of gleaming studs still make this flat a stand-out. Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

Charles David “Rad” Studded Flats

Another option is the studded, shiny snake “Rad” Flat by Charles David. Like the Big Kiss, the “Rad” boasts high-gloss shine, and while there are less studs, the snakeskin adds oomph. Hiss…

Pour la Victoire “Juliet” Studded Flats

And here is yet another alternative: “Juliet” by Pour la Victoire. Not quite as aggressive in appearance (and probably superbly comfy) these flats could very well replace the flip-flips in your closet.
