My spirit sister in stilettos, Victoria Beckham, has been oft-quoted as saying that she "cannot concentrate in flats" to which I've always been like "tell it girl" because I've been in heels for what has been the majority of my life. I am 4'10". Heels are not only hot but they have become necessary tools for my everyday life. A former coworker noted that I tip toe when barefoot because I most likely have the permanent foot shape of a Barbie doll. Then Mrs. Beckham did THIS. Let's just pause...
It's not the first time I've caught her in flats. I know she does own at least one pair of Lanvin Ballet Flats so of course now I have 2 pairs. I've seen her in flip flops at Disneyland. Understandable. But just everyday errands in London in a pair of chelsea boots? It was so shocking that I was forced to purchase a pair. I took her subliminal recommendation and went with Church's because if I'm going to wear flat man boots, I'm going to go with the best. These boots are...amazing. I sniped them on sale at The Outnet where they quickly ran out of stock. Saks is carrying them in black patent and Net-A-Porter has them in a wonderful patent oxblood. Other designers are also featuring a chelsea boot in their fall looks from Saint Laurent to Tory Burch. I decided on the brogue perforations for added detail. I don't know if I could pull off the smooth leather look for my first pair of flat boots.
Oh, and they smell like leather heaven...
And these are my plans for fall...
