Desperate for Flats


When I think of flats one woman comes to mind, Tory Burch. She got on the map with her clothing line but became huge when she designed her leather flats with her signature emblem on it. Now the Prima Reva Ballerina flats comes in an array of colors and textures. In her latest flat designs she has ditched her gold emblem and gone for a more subtle flat with a cute tassel.
I also don't enjoy the knockoff Tory Burch flat. It is clearly fake so why try to pass it off as the real thing? I understand that the Burch flats can be expensive but then why not just buy one by another designer? Quite honestly, I would suggest splurging on the real thing for they last for a very long time, and they don't seem to be going out of style.
Having owned the original black flat since June 06' I have become bored by the flat. The problem is there are no other fabulous flats. Browsing through the flats section on Neimanmarcus.com I saw a pair of Manolo Blahnik leopard flats.
Of course they are insanely pricey at $515. I don't even like them that much. Honestly, I like the Tory Burch leopard flats better which are a fraction of the cost of the Manolo's. I guess if I want to get a new pair of flats I will have to settle for being like one of the pack and purchasing another pair of Burch flats. Except these faux snake skin flats are unique.

Bottom Line: The Tory Burch flat doesn't seem to be going anywhere. If your a fan of them I suggest purchasing a pair, I believe they are actually starting to go on sale at this point. My friend got a pair of the classic black ones on sale at Plaza Too. Don't buy the fake ones, it is obvious that they are not authentic, splurge on the real thing.
Until Next Time...Ciao Fashionistas
