Today's Obsession: The New Skippy - Flat Espadrilles

OnSugar — Mon, 09 May 2011 03:50:55 PDT

We're always in the market for a shoe as comfortable as it is stylish, so we love OnSugar blog fashion fortuneteller's easy-sweet, flat espadrille picks for Summer.

How many of you wore skippys all summer while growing up? I clearly remember getting crisp white skippys at the beginning of the summer and rocking them out like every day - running around the neighborhood playing tag, jump robe, and having water gun fights. I guess that's the beauty of Brooklyn.

Skippys were the ultimate affordable footwear at the time, and behold - Today's Obsession is the new school summer skippy: the flat espadrille. I am in love. Can't wait for another fun filled summer!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Appointment With McDreamy

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 04:00:22 PST

I had my annual doctor's appointment with McDreamy. OK, he's not the McDreamy, but he comes close. I don't normally plan my outfit when I see my other doctors, but in this case, I wanted to look cute. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good for a studly doc, right? I just didn't want anything too over-the-top.

I started you off with these Charles Albert Cobra Eyelet Flat ($30) - they'll be comfy for my walk and sparkle when he looks at me. Let's see your creations.

Look #1, created by fashionista0914, is trendy but not too wild. Love those shorts.

Kind of a Big Deal? Victoria Beckham in Flats!

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:00:22 PST

Stop the presses - Victoria Beckham is wearing flats. True, she is en route at Heathrow Airport, but that doesn't usually stop our high heel devotee from teetering through customs. You may recall she once said she never wears flats. Never say never (one of my favorite quotes). She may not feel as powerful, but she still looks darn cute in her navy shift, black tights, signature sunnies, and black Birkin. Is this kind of a big deal? Might VB be loosening up her fashion ways?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cozy Winter Flats

FabSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:37:22 PST

I recently presented a challenge that was going to take some thinking outside the box. A Fab reader who lives in NYC seeks warm, semi-dressy flats to wear in the Winter that aren't boots or sneakers. She wants to retire the Chucks she currently lives in, so I asked you to help keep her feet dressy-cozy. I started you off with this Banana Republic Black Skinny Jean ($90) because she will be mostly be wearing the flats with jeans and pants. Let's see your suggestions.

Look #1, created by Claire Underwear, is too cute, especially the ruffle flats.

Textured Pintucked Woven Shirt $11 - Forever 21
Captured Laser Piece Necklace $5 - Forever 21	Petite classic black skinny jean $90 - Banana Republic	Justinna Blu Sde $69 - Steve Madden

Footzyrolls Rollable Flats Are Here to Save Your Feet

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 05:50:22 PDT

I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends scream from the pain caused by uncomfortable heels. Blisters, bubbles, cuts, bruises- they've experienced them all, yet haven't found a solution beyond Band-Aid and toe tape. No more! I am going to gift each of them one of these Footzyrolls Rollable Ballet Flats ($25); they can wear them after a night of heavy-duty dancing. The Footzyrolls take up little room in your purse and come in black, gold, and silver. There's even a white one for brides. Along with the shoe, you also get a bag for your heels and a drawstring pouch for the rollable flats. I'm sold.
