{Mini Miller Flat by Tory Burch in Bright Navy. I’m in love.}
Sometimes I think that flats are just as commanding as heels. They obviously don’t show off your legs as well as a heel does, but there is an arresting feeling I get when I see a woman impeccably dressed in a wool jacket, turtle neck, skinny pants, lots of tinkly bracelets and signature flats. When I see a woman dressed like that, she oozes power and sophistication. The exact same outfit with heels would look forced, like you were trying too hard. Flats also send a message of speed: “Get out of my way sista, I’ve got places to go.” Here is a roundup of the essential flats that every woman should own. No, not all Imelda. Pick your favorite.
{Ballerine U-Cut Cap-Toe Flat by Roger Vivier $775.00 via Bergdorf Goodman}
This shoe may be timeless. You’ll only cry once.
{Emmie Flats by Lucky Brand $59.00 via Zappos and ships free}
There are many colors to choose from in this flat! I would literally fold these up and stick them in my bag when I go into the city, I always like to have an extra pair of shoes in case my feet need some relief from walking. When I look at these shoes I feel like I could fly through the day.

{Ellen Flats in Moonrock Leather by Vince Camuto $78.95 via Nordstom and ships free}
I’m loving a little gun-metal metallic, I’d pair these with a pair of skinny black jeans or leggings.
{Rae Flats in Leopard by Sam Edelman $120.00 via Lord & Taylor}
If you follow my blog, you know how much I love leopard print. These would look amazing with red or royal blue corduroy jeans!
{Raleigh Ballet Flat in Cerise & Gold by Tory Burch $265.00 via Tory Burch}
Tory Burch is the Queen Bee of Flats so I have favorited several of hers. In my opinion, everyone needs a little red shoe in their wardrobe. Wear these with all black, red lips and lots of gold jewelry. No one will be able to take their eyes off you.
{Caroline Ballet Flat in Camellia Pink by Tory Burch $225.00 via Tory Burch}
Sweet right?
{Blue Flats by Betsey Johnson $79.95 via Zappos and ships free}
Date night. Concert. Anytime you’re craving a little sparkle.
{Rockstud Patent Ballerina Flat by Valentino $745 via Bergdorf Goodman}
I love her taller sister too.
{Princetown Slip-On Loafer by Gucci $1,800.00 via Nordstrom}
Do you take this to a pet salon for cleaning?
{Avatass Black Suede Loafer by Stuart Weitzman $395.00 via Zappos}
I’m torn between suede and patent leather when it comes to a loafer. I see loafers as more of a cooler weather shoe, so I guess I have my answer. Suede.
