One of the big shoe trends for the spring 2014 season is the d’orsay flat. As the height of heels comes down to Earth for the spring 2014, and casual styles such as slip-on sneakers and one inch stacked heels come into fashion, the flat takes on a middle-of-the-road style in the d’orsay.

D’Orsay flats are neither casual nor dressy; they are right in-between. This makes the d’orsay flat an easy style to invest in for the spring 2014 season. After all, the d’orsay flat can be worn with jeans to dress them down, or trousers for the office, or with a skirt to dress them up! Love that!

D’Orsay flats appeared on the spring 2014 runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London; but they did not dominate, nor did they make a huge impact. The d’orsay flat was noticed, and picked up by, store buyers who recognized they would be a fresh and versatile style for the spring 2014 season. Runway trend + street style trend = perfection!

The d’orsay flat is a good shoe investment for the spring 2014. As the key replacement for the ballet flat in spring 2014, the d’orsay flat is staying put on the fashion map as we move through the year into fall and winter. Therefore, the d’orsay flat in neutral colors and black, is the perfect investment not just for spring, but for all of 2014. If you are more interested in a seasonal shoe, the d’orsay flat in a pretty pastel or bright pink will be the perfect touch for the season.

My pair of d’orsay flats are pictured above; and let me just say they are incredibly comfortable! There are so many beautiful d’orsay flats on the market for the spring 2014 season. I picked out a few fabulous pairs from around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love my picks! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

The pointed toe is hot for fall 2013, and it is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into 2014. Although we are often blinded by fabulous pointed toe pumps, there is another, equally important pointed toe to covet this fall 2013 season; the pointed toe flat.

Pointed toe flats are everywhere for fall 2013; and were also spotted on the runways for spring 2014. This means the pointed toe flat is a comfortable yet fabulous investment for the fall 2013 season; as well as 2014! Love that!

Every type of pointed toe flat is on-trend for fall 2013. There are solid colored flats, patterned flats, kitschy flats and flats with ankle straps. This means there is a pointed toe flat on the market for every shoe taste. Perfect!

There are no rules when it comes to pointed toe flats this fall season. The ideal pair of pointed toe flats is a neutral color which will blend easily with your wardrobe. A second pair of pointed toe flats for the season can be fabulous! Look for a vivid autumn hue or fabulous print. After all, every girl needs at least two pairs of flats for the season!

Flat sandals for summer 2013

 in Shoes / Trends  tagged flats / sandals / summer 2013 by

The summer season is almost here, which means warm weather and the chance to wear sandals! Of course not every day is about fabulous high heeled sandals which turn heads. There are days when a Fashionista needs to wear a more practical, comfortable type of sandal; the flat sandal.

Flat sandals are the ultimate staple for casual days during the summer; and just because they are flat, does not mean they have to sacrifice style! There are so many fabulous flat sandal styles on the market for summer 2013 which reflect current runway trends and what is hot on the street.

Flat sandals for summer 2013 are being shown in bright colors as well as neon hues. They are also being shown in the season’s ultimate neutral; metallic, as well as 2012’s continuing trend color blocking. If you have flat sandals from last year which are color blocked, bright or metallic, you are in luck! Those sandals can be pulled out from storage and placed front and center in closet. Love that!

There is also a huge trend right now in sandals; the modified Gladiator. These shoe styles offer multiple straps which travel up to the ankle and stop. These are not the Gladiator sandals from a few years back which travel towards the knee-so leave those in storage!

Another huge trend in sandals this summer season is the ankle strap. For “of-the-moment” flat sandals, look for a single strap in front with an ankle strap in a bright hue, neon color or mint green. Love this!

I found a few fabulous flat sandals around the web which reflect the current runway and street trends. All of these amazing styles are in the shopping widget below. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
