Step Into Spring: Flat Out Chic

"Hello, lover." Carrie Bradshaw's famous words  have been thought by many of us, upon seeing the perfect pair. This season's styles do not disappoint.  Today we focus on flats, but not just any 'ol shoes. These 15 pairs all have a certain  je ne sais quoi - a chain, pearl, or pom pom that make them flat out chic.  As always, there is something for 

every budget.

 

Basette Woven  Flat Mules

Natural woven raffia, oversized pearls and studs, all add up to beyond chic!

Jimmy Choo

Rodo Flat Loafers

A stylish slip on that features terrific texture. Something you may not have in your current shoe wardrobe.

Bergdorf Goodman

No 21 Chain Detail Flat
Perhaps my favorite of the edit. Pointy toe, chain detail, and flat. What's not to like? For me it might be the price, but too good not to share.

Shopbop

Knottingham Knit Espadrilles

I have found Kate Spade shoes to always be both cute and comfy. These feature a cushioned footbed. They can be worn with or without the ankle ribbons. You'll love the pretty in pink style, too. 

Kate Spade or Nordstrom

Swan Slides

For when you want to dress up, even just at home. This stylish slides feel more like slippers on the foot. Less than $150. Available in more colors.

Birdies

The Heidi Mule

A little different than the normal Jack shoe, and I love it. Created from metallic suede in platinum. Also available in navy. Very affordable especially with 25% off. Use Code: LOVEMYJACKS

Jack Rogers

The Kora Lace Up
The gladiator is back this year. I have never worn them, but love the look. Use Code : SPRINGSTYLE for $150 savings on $500 orders.

Stuart Weitzman

The Stow
Made in Italy with "out of the box" comfort. Available in ten terrific colors, but I think the metallics are special. And don't be afraid to wear silver during the day. I do all of the time. The shiny supple patent leather elevates a casual comfort shoe.

Tamara Mellon

The Ramen Ballet Flat

The ultimate update to the classic ballet flat. Can't you just feel the softness of the leather? Available 

in eight stylish shades.

Aerosoles

Ken Scott Print Gucci Flats

The "fashion gardeners" flat. Designed by Ken Scott with Gucci details like the chain and horsebit.

Gucci. 

Jessa Pointy Toe Loafer
With a tapered toe, ruched back and chain detailing, Tory took the average loafer up a notch.

Tory Burch

Lolan Bit Mule
Slip into the traditional look of a loafer with the comfort of a slip on. The colors are pretty, and it's less than $125 for all leather.

Sam Edelman

Pokemaoke Alta Flats
Pretty petals embellish these stylish satin flats. A chic choice for evening or day. Under $250

Anthropologie

Staud Mona Beaded Sandal

Colorfully chic!  Made from goat leather. These are both fun and fabulous!

Staud

Christian Louboutin Hall Spike Flat

Chances are you don't have a pointy toe yellow flat in your shoe closet. They are pretty, right? They also feature a little edgy attitude, in a good way.

At 59 degrees this morning, Mother Nature has served up a perfect Fall day in Chicago. We begin the "Shop This" household's favorite season. It's time to turn the page, and get excited about cocoa and cashmere, and coats and candles. This post features all of the feels we love about Fall. Enjoy!

If you aren't a plaid person, this ombre use of colors just may be your style. It's an unexpected use of soft Fall-ish colors. And the weight is the perfect light layer as we transition to the 
new season.

Your Fall Nail Color
Every Fall I try a new color as my "go to" for manicures. Lucky for me neutrals never go out of style, but they are particularly in this autumn. Essie's newest shade, "Easily Suede," is a warm grey with taupe undertones. This is what I am trying for this weeks' mani.

A good coat is a wardrobe changer, and a forever piece. The outerwear edit at Intermix is one of the best. You'll find chic coats and all of the accessories to wear with them. Click the image or the below link to start shopping.

Pumpkin Chai Home Fragrance & Candles
Oh the scents of Fall! Aren't they just the best? Now that Henri Bendel is gone, I am on the hunt for new candles. Nest makes luxury scents that burn clean and last long. The Pumpkin Chai scent is fab! It's a mix of wild pumpkin, spicy chai, cardamon, ginger, and cinnamon.
