Biviel BV1208 - Flats are a great option for comfort and if you happen to be taller, they can also be dressed up or down.

Nine West Falcoin - satin is always a lovely way to keep things elegant. Go for detail (like the pleating in this Falcoin) and bright colors to also add your own flavor.

Charles by Charles David - Tyrst: stylish and traditional. Subtle lizard prints like this Tyrst sandal is great and the twist makes the show modern.

Nina Vikki - great for a wedding that goes into the evening because of the color, while still keeping your feet cool in the summer.

Bridesmaid shoe tips: you don’t have to be “matchy matchy” with your dress. Contrasting colors will go great with the popular single tone bold colors that are being used for many dresses today. Look for comfort as well. Only wear a shoe with a heel height, and constructed in a way, that you know you will be comfortable in the entire day- no matter how fabulous the shoe is. Comfort is key, you don’t want to be wincing in pictures. You can mix things up with different colors, prints, materials and straps. Also, it doesn’t hurt to suggest having all the bridesmaid’s getting the same shoe in a variety of colors. Makes for nicer pictures, and we all know how important pictures are.

French Sole (and counterpart London Sole) has been popular in France and London (duh!) and now I want to bring them to ya’ll. Thankfully, they have slowly started making their way over to our side of the world. French Sole gives you the classic ballet flat, but also creates unique new looks without trying hard like we see in the French Sole “Single.” The blue is a soft nubuck leather and the piping and bow detail is a subdued metallic silver to give the shoe some bite and variety. The Single is perfect because the color is a fresh blue to spruce up your outfit and look great with loads of different colors while the cut-outs, silver and understated bow give it unexpected charm.

I’m short, but I love flats that keep me close to the ground. I also recognize that there are some taller sisters out there who may not want to add inches to their already 5’10” frame. This Biviel ‘Bv1208’ is for you who are trying your hardest not to make the bride look vertically challenged in pictures. This Biviel flat has great detail at the top with the disc-tie combo. It’s got a little bit of sheen to dress-up the shoe and will look ridiculously cute with any type of dress in any type of color (except maybe white – but that’s ok, you shouldn’t be wearing white anyway). Though I will say this shoe would be better suited for a less “black-tie” affair type of wedding. I’ve got a pair of Biviel heels and can wear them comfortably all day. Biviel makes their shoes so that the heel fabric comes up to the perfect high above the ankle so that you don’t have to worry about it hurting at the point where your ankle bends backward when walking. All you ladies who have endured that kind of torture on a long day without spare shoes know exactly what I’m talking about – no amount of band-aids can pad your foot enough to be comfortable when that happens. So be fabulous and comfortable with the BV1208!

Looking for some cute flats that not everyone in the world has? Well here’s a pair of flats from lesser known Onitsuka Tiger. Usually they only make sneakers but I think they are starting to get the hint that women a ton more shoes then the guys. I really like the mesh material and the simple bow at the top too. If you don’t like the white the Noricos come in both grey and brown as well.

Gwen Stefani has become a style icon and this shoe is a prime example why. The stitching between materials makes this flat different and funky but by adding the neutral colors it makes this flat very wearable. Pair these shoes with a drab work outfit to spice it up a little or some skinny jeans for those more casual days.

Keeping along with our MISS SIXTY theme for today I have chosen these great metallic flats. Not only do they look comfortable but they are edgy and cute at the same time. The pointed toe, double strap front, and eye catching material make this flat look trendy and hot. However don’t overlook the little flower detail on the front, this adds just enough ‘girliness’ to soften the shoe.

Designers like Poetic License are finding new ways to be creative in shoes! I love the curved cutouts in the back that complement the front. Even the design on the shoes is innovative, adding splashes of yellow to make the shapes pop. If your looking to be edgy, cute, and trendy these up coming seasons be sure to get the ‘Jungle Fever’ flat!
