Customize Your Ballet Flats in a Snap!

Move over, Tory Burch. There's a new, cheaper and way cooler ballet flat in town! Lindsay Phillips' line of genuine Napa leather shoes ($64) come in black, bronze and silver and are adorned with a matching flower that can be—wait for it—swapped out for another adorable embellishment. Pretty amazing, right?! There are a dozen accents ($12) to choose from, including multigem medallions and charming blossoms—all of which easily snap into place.

I am obsessed! It's fun changing out the doodad to suit my mood or complement my outfit. The revolutionary design truly makes it seem like you own multiple pairs of chic ballet flats. Perfect for this frugalista! But as much as I love the unbelievably comfy footwear, there is a downside to having a removable shoe part.

The snaps can be taken off—on their own! I was made aware of that harsh reality on two occasions. In the first instance, the interchangeable piece fell off after bumping my foot against a desk during a work meeting. That was initially kinda embarrassing, but I quickly snapped it back on and everything was fine. I wasn't so lucky the second time. I was having dinner with some girlfriends at a restaurant, and when I got home that night, I saw that one of the embellishments was missing. I must've accidentally knocked it off under the table. Argh!

Bottom Line: Lindsay Phillips' innovative ballet flats will rock your world. However, if you have a hard time sitting still like I do, you might wanna look down once and a while to make sure the ornaments are still on.
