Ballet Flats

Ballet Flats have long been a Parisian womens shoe of choice. The classic ballet flat can be teamed with trousers, skirts or dresses and is so versatile in France they seem to wear them all seasons, apart from Winter.

The French even have a store dedicated to ballet flats called Repetto, and their first ballet shoe was dedicated to Brigitte Bardot. These ballet flats are are all handcrafted and priced at around $435.00!!

Summer Essential Shoes

As part of my Hot in the Shops Summer Essentials I have picked some very different shoe styles.

In Summer I find that tan shoes are great to have as you can wear them with so many different outfits, from dark colours to light, so I loved the fit and look of the Overland sandals.
I completely loved the DECJUBA wedges, but found them difficult to walk in, and that was just in the changing room, but thats just me!
The Trenery block heels are mid-heel height so they are not too high and there on my wish list.
With this changeable climate at the time of year, I thought these VANS were so cute and pretty.

Overland Maddy Casual sandal $169.90, DECJUBA Isabel wedge AU$149.95, Trenery Laura mid-heel sandal $199.00, Northbeach VANS Vintage Floral $119.99.

SHOES
I have to confess I am not a fan of heels. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE heels and think they do wonders for elongating your legs, it is more that I cannot wear them anymore due to the extra instability they induce in me. Also being a stay at home mum, I do not really have the occasion to wear them.

I do own a gorgeous pair of black suede, (with gold studs on the back), block heel Zara ankle boots, which I love, and when I am feeling brave or dressing-up I will resort to.

So.. I am always on the look out for gorgeous, dressy flats or low heeled shoes, so I may feature more of these than heels. But don't despair if your a heel devotee I promise to scour the shops to bring you the best on these too!!
