Summer Flats,Part II

I’ve been doing this blog three years, and you know my most popular post?  Summer Flats.  It’s got over twice as many hits as any other post.  I figured since summer is here again, I’d give you a second round of summer flats that are good for running around town in the shorts, going to the office with a skirt… anywhere!



The Tosha by DV8 by Dolce Vita is so bright and nautical!  The red bow on the slingback really makes it.  Perfect!  Also available in a polka-dotty print where some of the dots are winking at you (a little weird, granted, but also kind of cute); your choice for $39 at Macy’s.



I love gold for summer!  And the curvy shapes on the Choppy by American Eagle remind me of flower petals, or raindrops, or a flowing river…  The insole is padded, and it’s lined with jersey for extra comfy-ness.  Also available in red and black; your choice for $28 from Payless.



Stripes are hugely in this year, and the Royalli has plenty!  The canvas outer makes it cool, but the faux leather touches make it a little more sophisticated.  Don’t like the green?  (Though I can’t see why you wouldn’t—it looks so nice with the brown!)  It also comes in blue, black, and orange.  Yours for $59 from Nine West.
  
The Lumiere by Xhilaration is the silhouette of the season, but with the added touch of the straps.  Plus it’s in three colors: pink at the toe and up the T-strap, tan around the ankle and up the sides of the foot, and white at the heel.  Nice!  Also available in taupe and black; find them at Target for $22.



Aah, lace!  The Too Swirly by 2 Lips Too is an off-white flat that wraps your foot in lace embroidered with roses—gorg.  There’s lining at the pointed toe and the heel so it’s not completely sheer, but it’s sort of ethereal.  It’s got a three-quarter-inch heel so I guess it’s not technically a flat, but it’s close enough!  Also available in black and pink; your choice from 6pm for $35.

 Here’s to another summer full of fun, functional flats!

Philadelphia Collection

If it’s September, it’s time to get your style on: the Philadelphia Collection is back!  Now through Wednesday, all kinds of fashion events are going on in different locations across the city.  And you can’t forget the shoes, of course!  Here are some shoe brands being featured this week (and the local stores where you can find them!).



The Tobacco Suede Knee Boot Noon-Bi by Fiorentini is a beautiful combination of brown suede and a rich brown leather on the foot, up the side, and around the top of the shaft.  A nice stacked heel keeps you grounded.  Find them at Head Start Shoes for $565.



This boot is HOT.  The Alize is a patent leather boot bedecked all over with silver studs.  And all the laces up the front… and the four-inch heel…you run the risk of driving every man in your life mad for you.  Be warned.  Find them at Dr. Martens for $168 (knocked down from $305!).



The Galaxy Replica Sneaker by Martin Margiela is sort of like every awesome thing ever from science class.  The snakeskin upper (a sneaker! of snake-embossed leather!) is printed all over with images of the Milky Way.  The shoe itself is a replica of a 1970s army training shoe, so there’s a little history thrown in too!  Yours for $592 from Joan Shepp.



The Maeve by Dolce Vita would look so perfect under jeans for fall, yes?  The nude suede, the delicate punch detailing, and my favorite, which is a little hard to see here: when you open up the zipper in the back, the two halves are connected with seafoamy leather!  LOVE.  Get them from Third Street Habit for $84.

So put on your fashionable best and enjoy the Philadelphia Collection while it lasts!
