My Dream Shoe!

I'm back. Just a quick post with more to come later and lots of things I picked up in the Hamptons (at the local thrift store, nothing I could afford in those crazy vintage places.)

My topic of discussion at this precise moment however is this lovely shoe at the top. A brief history will reveal that it was created exclusivly for Audrey Hepburn, queen of the ballet flat, by Salvatore Ferragamo in 1954. It comes today in many varieties but the most popular are the black and natural snake skin versions like the one above. I have always loved this shoe but could never afford it so I put it out of my mind. The original, classic Ferragamo styles cost $340 and up. It wasn't until I was surfing the Target website and stumbled across these adorable Isaac Mizrahi shoes below that the Audrey flat was called to mind again.
There are only two differences. The top of the flat is rounded, not pointed as the Audrey traditionally is, oh. And this shoe cost $30.00. Thanks again Target. Making our fashion dreams come true...affordably. I'm unbelievably excited to buy these!
