There’s a certain time in between seasons before you trade your sandals for your fall and winter boots. This is normally when the classic ballet flats come in. They are perfect for the transition into fall and can be worn when it is still warm out and cover your toes when the weather begins to cool down. There are many versions of the ballet flat, but below are some of my favorites under $100.

Just like the little black dress, every woman needs a pair of basic black flats. The Kobraa from Steve Madden in Black Patent ($49.99) has always been my choice for a comfortable yet chic look. The thing I love most about this style is that it also comes in gold, snakeskin, and many other colors and patterns.

A little embellishment is a great look for these stylish shoes. Here is another great pair by Steve Madden. The Kazler in Pewter ($89.95) is a fun choice to jazz up an outfit.

You can never go wrong with metallic… especially with these Minx Metallic pair from Topshop ($50).

The zippered flower detail on this pair of Madden Girl Jasper flats ($39.95) adds edge to the feminine shoe. Affordable price + fashion forward style = perfection.





First things first: I don’t know Octomom. I don’t know anyone that knows Octomom. I don’t even think I want to know Octomom. (Five minutes alone in a room with her and all those sobbing babies would be enough to turn me into a sobbing baby.)
