Flair For Your Flats

We all love flats--often for their ballerina cuteness, always for their comfort. But do you ever feel like your flats are looking , well, a little flat? No longer.

Thanks to the uber stylish gals at ban.do (best known for headbands that even Blair Waldorf could appreciate), now you can add a little pep to your step with their new shoe clips. Clip 'em on to your flats for instant pop!--and of course they'll also jazz your sneakers, flip flops, and even your heels. For the gal on the go, I feel this concept is pretty genius. Some of us working girls are constrained by the dreaded office dress code, but of course our lives don't stop when the clock strikes 5pm (or 6, or 7...). Just keep your shoe clips in whatever fabulous handbag you happen to be carrying on a given day, and then you can dash from work to play--without having to stop at home to freshen up, or (shudder) to sacrifice your style.

ban.do's shoe clips come in six equally fun and flirty styles--and infinitely more colors--but my favorites have to be the ban.do heart shoe clips and the crystal bowtie shoe clips. I guess this means my secret is out: I have a weakness for sparkle. Perhaps the best part is that your look will be instantly transformed, without having to splurge. In the words of ban.do, they are indeed the perfect little party for your feet.
