Steal Vs. Splurge: Lace Up Pointy Toe Flats

In NYC it’s all about walking and often running at full speed through the streets and avenues. Though heels may look nice, flats are an absolute necessity. Lately, I’ve been a huge fun of the lace up pointy toe flats. They look great with pants and (almost) give the look of heels with a skirt or dress. Here’s two fab pairs.

Crocs That Are Actually Cute

Until now, I’ve never been a huge Crocs fan. I’m all about casual chic comfort, but the classic Crocs just weren’t working for me. This summer, however, I became a believer! I love their latest designs of summer sandals and flats. These trendy new designs stay true to the Crocs original style using the same comfortably waterproof materials that keep feet happy. As I put together my summer 2013 wardrobe, I’m hung up on my new Crocs Huarache Mini Wedges in multicolor. I can’t wait to pair them with a red sundress, chic swimsuit, or my favorite white capris for a burst of color.

A Diamond in the Rough

Over the weekend, I spent my Saturday afternoon volunteering at The Meatloaf Kitchen, a soup kitchen that serves fresh wholesome meals restaurant style to New Yorkers down on their luck.  It’s truly an amazing program and a much-needed addition to this city.  When I tweeted that I was spending the morning volunteering, I was very touched to see my Twitter blowing up with messages of how giving back made me a true socialite.  However, I think that I may have gotten more out of it than the people I helped while handing out clothes in the Meatloaf Boutique.

In the process of being one of the Meatloaf Kitchen’s resident stylists for the day, I came across these vintage Alexander McQueen flats and couldn’t help, but snap a picture.  I wonder if they were designed by McQueen himself when he was still alive.  Having been incredibly touched by my experience volunteering, I plan on going back once a month.
