Ballet flats have become an everyday basic for nearly everyone. Even high heel lovers probably all have at least one pair! Here are some nice options in classic black:
Vera Wang Lavender ‘Lillian’ Black Ballet Flat, $195. This is about as classic as it comes, perfect round toe and smooth leather.
Tory Burch ‘Reva’ Black Sequin Ballet Flat, $235. A dressy look with sequins.
French Sole ‘Season’ Black Nappa Ballet Flat, $125. I love the leather flower on the toe!

There’s already much talk about the fashion in the upcoming Sex and the City 2 movie. I think we’ll be seeing more of the desert fashion look of their trip to Abu Dhabi (filmed in Morocco).
Image: Craig Blankenhorn/New LineTory Burch tunics are a good option for this look. The look is similar to the traditional Moroccan caftan. Tory Burch’s style is often influenced and inspired by Morocco. Here you can see a collage from her inspirations section of the Tory Burch website:

Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen espadrilles! I think my Mom had a pair with a wedge heel when I was little. Well everything comes back around eventually. Tory Burch is showing some in her Spring Collection.
Striped Flower Espadrille, $150
FYI – here is the history of espadrilles from Wikipedia: The term espadrille is French and derives from the Catalan name for the shoes, espardenya, which derives from espart, the Catalan name for esparto, a tough, wiry Mediterranean grass used in making rope. Espadrilles have been made in Catalonia since the 14th century at least, and there are Catalan shops still in existence that have been making espadrilles for over a century. Traditional espadrilles have a canvas upper with the toe and vamp cut in one piece, and seamed to the rope sole at the sides. Often they would have laces at the throat that would be wrapped around the ankle to hold the shoes securely in place. Early espadrilles were worn by both men and women.
