Flat as a Pancake

We have been asked for posts on shoes for women who do not worship 4-inch-heels the way we do.  Today, I do my best to deliver.  Here are some cute flats I found.  All of them are on sale.  Some of them for extremely good prices.

There were so many cute flats, there were far too many for one post.  I limited the number included in this post to a few good deals from 6 pm.com and plan to bring you more flats in the future if I get feedback from readers that you want more.

Gypsy Queens

One brand we have fallen hard for this summer is Gypsy 05.  It is a special favorite of HippiChickiNiki whose handle is quite an apropos description for her easy boho-chic style.  Apparently, Niki isn't alone since this brand has been seen on Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Christina Aguilera, Denise Richards, Taylor Spreitler, Shay Mitchell, Sarah Drew, Lauren Conrad, Lisa Rinna, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicky Hilton, Kelly Rutherford, Khloe Kardashian, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kathleen Robertson, Vanessa Minnillo, Jennifer Stone, Kendra Wilkinson, Lady Gaga, Jana Kramer, Brianna Brown, Jessica Hart, Ashley Tisdale, Beverly Mitchell, AnnaLynne McCord, Whitney Port, Tori Spelling, Anna Kournikova, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, Kim Kardashian, Haylie Duff, Lindsey Lohan, Hayden Panettiere, Selena Gomez, Ali Fedotowsky, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Jessica Alba.

HippiChickiNiki's particular favorites are the Bella Silk flutter maxi dress and mini dress, the Adela jumpsuit, the Nelly tube jumper, the Simple Organic maxi dress, the Rena Flutter-sleeve minidress, the Giselle maxi dress, the Marlee minidress, the Fara dress, the Emma tube long dress, the Gara silk flutter mini dress and the Horizon belted dress.  All of these would go beautifully with the ALDO Gorill gladiator sandals (now on sale!) that she wears quite frequently or her favorite Pedro Garcia Gem ankle wrap flats.  One of the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki bags we discussed on Friday would be a perfect match.  We also envision pairing them with Gorjana wrap necklaces or lariats, lots of bangle bracelets, huge hoop earrings and messy side ponytail or loose side bun to complement the effortless hippie style of the clothes.

Gypsy 05 is for sale at Singer 22, Shop the Trend Boutique, Black Label Boutique, REVOLVEclothing, ASOS, Amazon, Blue Heaven Boutique and on the brand's own website.
