A little girl in a ballet flat will melt anyone’s heart (not that that’s so hard to do!). Mommy loves Bloch ballerina flats for herself, so naturally I love them for baby trendsetters. They are beyond adorable whether you go frilly or glittery or somewhere in-between – all equally young and feminine. Bloch’s shiny pearlized flat with the glitter cap toe and front bow ($56 from $80) are as cute as it gets, and the Mary Jane with patent leather ruffles and top strap
($59.50 from $85) is equally delightful. Black mini-sequins with patent-leather trim for extra shine
($66.50 from $95) is grown-up yet age-appropriate, while an origami-esque flower is the bow on top of this shiny, candy-pink present
($66.50 from $95).
Trust me: please yourself by getting what you want for them now while you can. My “grown-up” daughters will NOT let me choose their shoes or clothes for them anymore. Instead of beautiful styles like these they, want garishly embellished numbers that drive me mad. I thought they would at least wait until teenagers to do that. So stock up now on these charming ballets while you still have a choice (especially since they’re on sale). Available at Saks Fifth Avenue.
