A luxe rhinestone cluster make these Kate Spade "Faith" Ballerina Flats ultrachic yet the low profile keeps them oh-so-comfy. Yours for $295 at Nordstrom.com.


For a high-quality, lower-priced rendition of this look, try these Nora jeweled flats by Banana Republic instead, which cost $98 and are also available in moon gold. Gorgeous for day or night, with jeans or a dress!

As you've no doubt noticed, Target's shoe department has been inundated with inexpensive boots ranging from classic black riding boots, to Western-inspired Frye knock-offs (above), to slouchy faux-suede knee-highs. I also spotted the token UGG knock-offs as well as a couple of styles of UGG slipper look-alikes. A low-wedge cognac-colored boot caught my eye from afar (vaguely reminiscent of Loeffler Randall), as did a black buckle-embellished moto boot, but both looked especially plastic-y and poorly constructed up close. Overall, with all boots priced under $40, Target did a good job of offering something for everyone, but I was disappointed they didn't have a greater selection of ankle boots and booties. (I did buy these Kalila ankle boots, but they're the only ones I saw.) Maybe more will show up as the season goes on. Which boots will YOU be buying?

While all of New York City is abuzz over Fashion Week, I'm at my local Target store snapping photos of the latest offerings in Fall shoes! Not that I'm complaining or anything. Anywho, the selection thus far is pretty decent. My favorite pair of flats has to be the Mossimo "Valda" ruffle flats ($24.99) in a yummy cranberry hue (shown above) made with a low-grade, albeit genuine suede upper. Great way to add color to an outfit. Other standouts include these Merona Collection "Rosaline" leopard print flats ($29.99) with a real-leather upper and these Xhilaration "Saniya" plaid flats ($16.99). My only gripe with these (and most flats, I suppose) is that they look best without socks, so the moment the weather cools off, I won't be able to wear them. Which flats (if any) will YOU be buying?
