Real vs. Steal – Lanvin Cap Toe Ballet Flats

by Juliana on May 22, 2012

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!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pointed Flats

by Juliana on March 18, 2012

If you’ve never worn flats to work because they seem too informal, these pointy confections by Christian Louboutin may just be the anecdote. They are certainly among the most luxurious I’ve ever seen, and yet oddly familiar…like a pair that Holly Golightly might have pulled out from underneath the bed looking for her crocodile shoes in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Of course, although these are fantastic, perhaps you may want to check out the other options below if your budget doesn’t allow for such a large investment.

Ivanka Trump “Annulio” Pointed Flats

This lovely option by Ivanka Trump, is both ladylike and modern at the same time. Perfectly polished for work, and yet they have a little added flirtatiousness to them as well. If there ever was a pair of flats that could look fabulous with a skirt, it’s got to be these. The pointy toe will elongate your legs, while the small heel elevates the foot just enough to give you support, and not completely betraying you at the end of the day with cramped toes. Plus, the patent leather is very easy to maintain. These are currently available in black, coral, lime, burgundy, grey and nude patent leather as well as matte black leather.

If you love wearing stylish flats, consider investing in a quality pair that you’ll keep reaching for year after year! Plus, choosing a bright shade like Kelly Green is a great way to update your favorite weekend skinny jeans.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Walsh Glitter Ballerina Flats

by Roseanne on February 28, 2012

Heels may be a great asset in a woman’s wardrobe, but flats are always a necessity. Simultaneously, flats are super comfortable and stylish. If you are yet to be convinced, then these Jimmy Choo Ballerina Flats are evidence that a truly fashionable form exists. I love the glitter ornamentation which gives a rather lavish appearance to a shoe which is generally so casual. In this case, the lavish appearance comes with a price which I can’t afford. So scroll down to check out the steal!

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10336 Bow Satin Sandals

by Irina on May 22, 2011

So I think I’ve already mentioned that flat shoes rarely catch my attention. I do wear them, but only if I must and I always try to find a way to wear my high heels out instead. Now if I had these Giuseppe Zanotti leopard print silk ankle bow sandals you bet I’d so change my mind about not wanting to wear flat shoes. I love how Zanotti combines the wild leopard print with girly details such as the giant side darling bow. But $695? If I were to ever spend that much on shoes it’d have to be a high heel, so no Zanotti flats for me here.

Bamboo Bloom-33 Leopard Satin Side Bow Flat Sandals

If you love the leopard ankle bow look but don’t want to spend a fortune, try these super cute & affordable Bamboo sandals instead. The bow is smaller, but this also means it won’t be dragging dust from the floor/streets, so that’s a good thing, right? For $23 I’d be willing to blind-buy. Some sizes are already sold out though, so you better order fast if you love these lovelies as much as I do.
