The year was 1957, when Audrey Hepburn wore a pair of flats with her skinny leg pants in the movie Funny Faces. Derived from ballet flats, flat shoes, ballet pumps, ballet sneakers, or simply flats, have been around since the the 16th century. They went out of style when Catherine de’ Medici requested for two inches to be added to her wedding shoes in 1547. It did not take long for heels to go out of style either. And thanks to Audrey Hepburn’s role in Funny Faces, Flats were in. Today, flats have been seen on runways, the White House (Michelle Obama), the Élysée Palace (Carla Bruni-Sarkozy), and our own little closets. A wise man once said, “Nothing is new under the sun.” Now we now it’s true.
Above are some of the Fall flats that I am loving. They are all under $50.00. Numbers 6 and 7 look comfortable. I can see myself dancing the night away in numbers 2 and 5. And finally, from and outdoor wedding to the inside of a church, numbers 1, 3, and 4 are the perfect pairs.
How are you wearing your flats this season?
I loove flats so much, black and white is so nice
2 & 5 are sooooo cute, would definitely rock those.

These are cute! I love flats but it gets so cold here in the UK x
Hey Lesley,
I had no idea you were in the UK. It's funny because we are still wearing flip flops in Georgia, USA.
I am happy I was able to inspire you, Bianca.
Flats are definitely on my list as well..can´t always do heels 🙂http://jezzdallasmakeup.blogspot.com/
