A hybrid of platforms and flats, flatforms have been dubbed the must-have shoe for Spring 2011 after making appearances on both the Prada (left) and Fendi runways.

I apply the same rule one might apply to a stock portfolio as I do to my denim collection: Diversify! From my Charlotte Russe wide legs to my Habitual straight leg skinnies, I believe in investing in great jeans that fit, in a variety of styles, from a variety of brands. One of my all-time favorite denim brands is 7 For All Mankind, and right now you can score savings up to 75% off this premium denim brand over at eBay Fashion Vault.

You'll find cropped styles that will go great with heels for summer, wide-leg flares (like the popular Dojo, shown above) to get your '70s fix, as well as a stylish romper, a cool denim skirt and more. It's all happening at eBay Fashion Vault NOW through Fri. 4/22 9pm PT only.

Shown above from left: "Dojo" wide leg jeans, $99.99 (down from $215); Sequin top, $42.99 (down from $174); Romper, $47.99 (down from $189.00)
