#spring flats

Don’t get me wrong; I love a good heel. Kitten or Stiletto? Espadrille or Platform? The possibilities are endless. But this season, my heels are going to be collecting dust in my closet. Why? Because flats are back, and here to stay. This season, we’re seeing feminity and patterns in the spotlight, and the trend is adding more and more detail to the once basic flat shoe. Your feet will thank you, and if you’re anything like me, you’re only slightly taller than you partner will definitely thank you. Here are my picks for the spring 2014 season.
