Sweet Spring Picks for Flats! Lanvin, Louboutin,and Miu Miu,Oh My!

Lanvin Patent Ballet Flat in Black. These are amazing, they are made in France and the leather inside is so soft, they just glide on, they are quite pricey but if you save up a great investment. umm, yummy!


Joan & David Hillary Flat. I love, love, love these.

Christian Louboutin Open-Toe Flat in Pale Grey Patent Leather. These are so very spring, from the peep toe to the blanc creamy color. Umm. Love it!Miu Miu Black Satin Crystal Ballerina Slipper . OMG, these are so chic and Principessa. I am sure these will sell out in no time. Get 'em while you can. I know they are on the pricey side, but better to invest in one fabulous pair of flats that you will love to death than several of shoddy quality that are so-so. These are my favorite.


Giorgio Armani Studded d'Orsay Flat. These are great for summer, and a very elegant cut.

Giorgio Armani Bow d'Orsay Flat. Love the bow detail and the Patent. They would look amazing with skinny jeans as a "dress me up, dress me down" mix.

L'Autre Chose Flat Black Patent Skimmer

Medium-Price Range:

French Sole Rhythm Collapsible Ballet Flat. Great bow, love the square shape, very modern, simple, tres cool.


Juicy Couture Rose Travel Ballet Flats. OMG. These are too cool. Love the little baggie, perfect for when you are travelling on a plane..maybe going from colder to warmer, just pull out your flats and switch when you get to your warmer destination. I think I am partial to these because in Grade 7 I owned a Benetton (back when B. was 'it', along with Esprit) pair in Silver that were suspiciously similar, bag and all. If only I was still a size 8.

Some more affordable but still brilliant, options below:
Topshop Ballet Flat with Over-sized Bow in Pewter. These are so chic and totally affordable at £.20.

Topshop Slingback Twist Flat Shoe in Mushroom. These are SO cool. Love them. Again totally affordable (and yes Topshop now ships to the US) at £.35.

Sam Edelman Celine Snake Embossed Ballet Flat. Cute cut-out detailing.


AK Anne Klein Paleo Ballet Flats. These come in Patent or plain. I love patent, so I'd likely go for the patent in black.

BG...the restaurant



So just returned from an evening at BG, picked up a beautiful red lipstick from Chanel, 'Passion' and then had dinner at BG--my favorite restaurant in the city!!! It has such romantic views...Central Park, 5th avenue, the Plaza and all from the 7th floor...the decor is very deco 1920's and the atmosphere is wonderful....it just makes you feel a part of old New York...but in a very hip way!! I'm sort of a bore I always get exactly the same thing when I go, which is the fantastic 'steak au poivre' and their chocolate souffle cake for dessert. A perfect night!

I would also suggest having afternoon tea there. Its the perfect interlude from shopping.

Passion is from Chanel's new lipstick line; 'rouge allure'. It has that uber-cool gold tube with the tap-touch opening style. So sexy. The perfect red.


Oh forgot to mention, Lucy Liu was also partaking in BG's gift card event, seen at the ShuUemura counter...She is as beautiful in person as in movies. Perfect skin.
