Standing not-quite-tall at 5’1 with a rack that would make Salma Hayek jealous, I really have no business wearing flats. Depending on the rest of my outfit, I tend to either look small and round, or impossibly top heavy and permanently on a tilt towards the ground, chest-first.

Even my closest friends have never seen me in anything resembling a sneaker, and my cute black flats tend to come out only during my commute to and from work, when heels just won’t do.But I can’t help but lust after these cute metallic flats. There’s something very unassumingly charming about them. Since flats are so inconspicuous, you can get away with a gold or silver without looking like you belong on a corner making rent money.

So the nautical look is like “omg-so-hot-right-now,” and despite my love of Sailor Moon, I haven’t been too thrilled about this recently popular style.

As a girl who is already a little more horizontal than most of the models that sell that stuff, all those stripes just haven’t seemed very appealing. That is, until I went to H&M one glorious day and found myself a pair of these striped ballet flats in pink and white; it was love at first fit.

Little did I know that these fabulous shoes were part of the trend I was feeling so ‘eh’ about! Apparently I was the only one not in the know, but hey, live and learn, and then get these shoes! (Even if you’re still not feeling the nautical wave, you can’t lose by getting a pair in the same style, sans the stripes.)

I love my man. I met him back in 6th grade, and I fell in love. I feel so blessed to have such a long, trusting realtionship. Every year, every season, he brings me so many pretty things. We have really grown together. He knows exactly what I like and every year, even with all my indecisiveness and ever-changing moods and tastes, he has stood up to the challange. And this year, Steve Madden, my main man (in shoes that is… although I would never object to dating a man who could literally make me the little old lady who lived in her shoe) has made me proud again by bringing a plethora of styles to feed my/your foot fetish.

And what’s more is that right now on SteveMadden.com and in Steve Madden stores nation wide there is a major sale going on. (um, who’s excited for the next rainy day?)

Steve’s shoes this summer are so similar to those of the uber–exclusive (read: muy expensivo) designers…. (many are much cuter and for ¼ of the price much more appealing) I saw a shoe JUST like these by Marc Jacobs. Adorable! Read More »
