Flat Schmat

Living in London meant one thing - lots of walking (read: comfortable shoes). In my initial months in the UK, a dreary January winter no less, I learnt some hard lessons on why heels are bad for you on a day to day basis. By the same token, I couldn't bring myself to run around in sneakers, or heaven forbit, trainers!! A very convenient and comfortable solution, mais je m'execuse, pas pour moi merci. Not when some form of work related outfit is involved. Now that summer's rolled around, I see pencil skirts + haivanas or some sort of beach flip flops. Why? Why do that when you've got your pick of beautiful flats to choose from in this city? Smart, chic, statement, neutral, bright, patterned, leather, patent, fabric! I've gone completely bananas for them this summer:
