Flats for fall 2012

Although fabulous pumps, platforms and strappy high heels look amazing and make us feel fabulous, they really are not appropriate all of the time. There are times when <gasp> even the most fabulous Fashionista needs to sport a pair of dazzling flats. After all, sometimes we do un-fabulous things such as going to the supermarket, pumping gas into our cars and possibly chasing our small children through a parking lot! (hopefully that last part doesn’t happen to you!)

Thankfully there are many fabulous and dazzling flats on store shelves for the fall 2012 season. The rocker-chic trend has brought us studded flats for fall while the sparkle trend has brought us crystal encrusted flats! The kitsch trend has brought us flats with critter faces from designers such as Marc Jacobs and Charlotte Olympia. There are also brightly colored flats, color blocked flats and <meow!> leopard print flats. Love this!

There are so many fabulous flats on the market this fall 2012 season; one has to wonder which pair to pick! And this could cut into our high heel budget; just a warning 

We found a few dazzling flat shoes around the web and assembled them into this article.
Which types of flats for fall 2012 are your favorites? Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Chanel Delicatesse nail polish for fall from the Fashion’s Night Out collection

Chanel Delicatesse is one of three beautiful nail colors from the Paris design houses’ special, limited editionFashion’s Night Out collection. With neutral, chocolate brown, purple and berry hues being all the rage in nail color for the fall 2012 season it is no wonder that Chanel figured out a way to fuse together the berry nail polish trend and the beige or “nude” nail color trend into one fabulous nail polish!

Delicatesse by Chanel is a rich, berry infused beige which takes on a neutral tone when paired with shades of brown and tan while appearing to be a berry shade when up against purple or berry hues. Very tricky Chanel!

What makes Delicatesse by Chanel incredible is that it blends well with both warm and cold hues; making it the ultimate neutral for the fall 2012 season. Love that!

This is also the perfect alternative to wearing nude or beige nails this cool weather season. After all, some of us like a little color on our fingertips!

Chanel Delicatesse nail polish is part of Chanel’s special, limited edition Fashion’s Night Out collection and can be found at Chanel boutiques nation-side. Delicatesse by Chanel is priced at $26.
What do you think of Chanel Delicatesse? Is it a must-have for you or will you pass on it and stay beige when it comes to a neutral nail this fall?
