Not-Blue Suede Shoes

Seasonal suede to the N'th degree! We love the twee bow styling of these  ($55 at Topshop), which come accompanied by modernized grommets for the sweet girl on the go.

Mad About Shoe

Almost the perfect melding of L.A.M.B. and Louis Vuitton, the Luiza Barcelos Women's Av042 Ballet Flats ($184 at Endless) will dress up or down (and with Mad Men appeal, to boot).

Pretty Patents

If you love feminine flats, then Miu Miu's Powder Tooled Patent Leather Bow Flats ($396 at Bluefly) have got your number. We're digging the tooled details on the toe and heel, which shows off the nifty contrast between the dual-shade kicks.

Bronze Metal

Been looking for that ideal oxford shoe? Then Belle by Sigerson Morrison's 6198 Oxfords ($122.30 at Zappos) are here to quench your thirst. Personally, we'd showcase the cutouts on these by accessorizing with a pair of dark tights for contrast.

Strap to It

If you need an all-purpose shoe, then we're vetting Kooba's Faye Flats ($229 at Zappos). We dig how the studded ankle strap gives our legs definition and offsets the design simplicity of the classic black flat.

D'Amour Couture

Hey there, weather girl! We've got the perfect seasonal flat for you with Juicy Couture's Chyna Flat ($54.40 at Zappos), which comes lined with soft faux-fur lining and sequined snowflakes to twinkle your toes through the cooler months.

Suede Brigade

Throw on your lady garb and take these delights for a spin -- Marc by Marc Jacobs 694145 Flats ($99 at Footnotes) are the perfect mix of old style and new materials, and his reimagining of a classic is just another reason to hop on the Marc train.

Queen of Hearts

Do you love fashion? Then wear your heart on your feet with these Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Melissa Zen Girl Flats ($134 at Zappos). We can't wait to wear ours in the rain in lieu of our leather flats!

Don't Boohoo this Boho

We instantly fell in love with these boho chic Reed Evins 500 Ballet Flats ($175 at Jildor Shoes), which will pair with whatever your little heart contents.

Think Pink

Hey, life is fun, so why not treat yourself to some of it! If you start with shoes, try these sassy F-Troupe Bathing Shoes ($40 at Gargyle) to spice up things up.

Gold Metal Winners

We remember our favorite shoes in college were a gorgeous pair of gold flats that literally matched everything that we owned. They served us well, much in the way that Sigerson Morrison's 9517 Flats ($231 at Zappos) will no doubt serve you.

Chain of Cools

Sometimes, instead of a movie, we'll go to a store and visit the Lanvin collection. It's like visiting a high-fashion museum, where all the clothes are lit ethereally and are breathtakingly beautiful. We especially love these Lanvin Silver Lambskin Chain Ankle Flats in Silver ($580 at Bluefly).

The Look for Less

If Miu Miu's prices seem a little mucho-mucho, then check out Misbehave Milly Flats ($25.30 at Endless) -- they've got the charm of added trinkets without the added dollars.

Like Gifts!

Kate Spade has never shied away from bright colors and adorable accessories, so if her Fiona Flats ($77 at Zappos) were anything but, frankly, we'd be disappointed. (Luckily, we're not!)

The Cat's Out of the Bag

Really, have we ever met a leopard-print accessory that we didn't love? Add some studs and you've got Be & D's Tres Joe Flats ($350 at Shop the Shoe Box). Plus, what a great day-to-night transition shoe!

MY THOUGHTS

love'em all. too many shoes to dream about...
