The fashion world has been talking about wearing flats as of late--and it's already catching on. Net-a-Porter and Barneys both picked up a pair of jazz shoes by Christian Louboutin, master of the five inch platform, while Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander, Ralph Lauren, and Pour la Victoire are offering lace-up flats as well. Sure, it's not exactly a full-on "trend" just yet but we think Spring 2010 will change that.
Colorful, easy flats for next to nothing and they don't come from the high street. Sounds like a formula for success to us. We first learned about Marais USA from our Network Partner, Style Bubble, and though her posting inspired some serious debate, found the shoes to be just what the doctor ordered. With a small selection of styles in a wide variety of brilliant colors, Marais USA offers a simple flat for every possible summer outfit. What's more prices hover around $65 per pair. The Spring collection isn't available for purchase yet, but you can sign up to be notified when they launch. Just click on the link above.
