flat-out fabulous- OCTOBER GIVEAWAY
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
I should tell you that I have a thing for shoes. Accessories in general, really, but especially shoes. And lately, I run into a pair of gorgeously adorned ballet flats everywhere I go- ballet flats with flowers, ballet flats with ruffles, ballet flats with ribbon, ballet flats with little bows and big bows. I love them all! I feel like these types of fabulous shoes are the perfect punctuation for an understated outfit (a cashmere 3 quarter length sweater and jeans, for example).
So when Jordi came up with the brilliant idea of creating ballet flats with exchangeable adornaments, I was beyond thrilled. A whole repertoire of be-dazzled shoes without having to buy a whole fleet of new footwear? Glory!
And then when we actually made them- oh, friends- they exceeded my (kind of high) expectations. If you live in Denver, you know this because I’ve worn them every day for the last week with a different adornament each time.
Even better- you have 3 opportunities to win… you can enter by:
1. Leaving a comment to this post sometime this month. We are having a hard time coming up with a name for our chameleon-like ballet flats. What do you think we should call these little numbers? Leave your suggestions in your comment.
2. Becoming a follower of our blog.
3. Linking to this post from your blog. Bonus points (or chances) may be granted for especially fabulous write-ups, so be creative. Leave a comment with the URL of your link so we can count your extra entry.
Good luck, friends!
SO ADORABLE! I don't feel like I have any good ideas but you have to get through a lot of failures before you get to the one you like when you brainstorm right?
So…feet candy, ummm…twinkle toes, fancy feet, trendy tootsies

I love these "fabulous flats" – so cute! I am definitely a follower of your blog…love it!
How about a shoe of a different color like "a horse of a different color" from the wizard of oz.
I love these! perfect for dressing up some plain flats!
Oh theyre so cute! I totally want some!!
Im trying to think of some cute creative names, but so far I dont have anything remotely good…. hmmm..will keep trying!
am now a follower! (Im new to your blog and love it so far ๐
http://www.sonntagfamily.blogspot.com
And I am now a follower too! Sadly, I can't think of a good name … but I'll keep thinking!
I like all of Delia's names, ditto to hers! Enter me, please… these would be so fun!!
maybe you'll get rich and famous from this idea. you guys are brillant! ๐
Hey guys! I've been a follower for a long time now – does that count? ๐
I LOVE this idea. It's so much fun, and so whimsical!
Hmmm, name ideas…like you said, this is tough! Here's just a couple I thought of (although I like some of the ones already posted! What creative friends you have!!):
KojoToes, CutsiePatootsies, Frosting on the Feet, FootFlair… yep, that's tough! Good luck!
These are so cute! Coming up with a name is hard! The only ideas that pop in my head right away are "soulful shoes," "shoes with soul," "sweet souls," "soul sisters" "happy feet." For some reason I can't think away from the sole/soul names! I will try to think of some more.
Um, so I already have those exact ballet flats from Target! Does that help my chances? (I also have them in sparkly zebra print.)
I love, love, love the charms! What a great idea. ๐
I like the first commenter's idea of "twinkle toes." cute.
How cute, love these! I like the twinkle toes or fancy feet idea.
Those shoes are so cute! They have a happy feeling about them, so how about "Happy Feet" ?
I follow your blog using google reader, hope that counts!
You all are beyond fabulous! What a GREAT idea! I follow your blog, but haven't made it official – so I will do that!
What about "Foot Frosting" with a tag line – "So cute you could eat em" hehe. Or Flat Frosting or just Foot Frost or Flat Frost… ohhh, i like that:)
Tu-Tu Shoes
they look like little Tu-Tu's for your shoes! Very adorable!
You used the word "adornaments" in your post. I don't know if that was a typo or not, but why not just call them that–Adornaments?
I LOVE these! you girls are so creative. Even if I don't win I want some! I just added me as a follower of you blog- not sure why I wasn't before??
As far as a name goes I was thinking:
"petit pirouettes"
which is a ballet word for "small turns"- which you do with your feet! (jord I will show you an example when I see you next :0) )
the link to my blog is:http://mcgoughjournal.blogspot.com/
I would so love to win these! You guys are good – they are fantastic!
I wear flats alot…cute idea! I like the name Flat Out Charmed, for the flats and the cute little charms that go with them.

I love the whole bunched-fabric flower motif on the dresses and shoes! Talked Jordan today about designing a flower girl dress with the same theme. Thanks for being so creative and generous!
I hope you will sell these because I really want some if I don't win!!! You could name them Cutie Patooties ๐ or Sweet Feet…no maybe not the last one….Almost looks like sweat feet…PICK ME! ๐

So very cute!
My name suggestion is trendy toes. I like it!
You ladies come up with the cutest stuff! I've had you linked on my blog for a while and I always love coming over here to catch up on all the great finds and ideas.
Glancing through the comments I saw a few variations of "shoe candy" and I think that's cute. I'm not very good at creative names but everyone else seems to be -good luck choosing:)
OK can I just say that these charms are the cutest things I have seen! Being a lover of flats, this is an exciting discovery for me. Names: flat*out*standing, lucky charms. BTW I am posting a write-up about your giveaway on my blog tomorrow. I will give you the link then.
Dazzling Kirst! Love the shoes…Ok, some ideas for names.
*Jujushoe (juju is another word for "charm.")

What about "Shoe Charmeleons"?
I just stumbled across this fabulous blog and see – a fabulous giveaway!
those shoes are adorable in every way, and so are the embellishments!

I just added myself as a follower!
How cute and creative!!!! Those shoes are great for all seasons, winter included! Names: SweetSistaShoes,
FancyFlats, FabulousFlats, FoxyFlats. Thank you and enjoy!!!
These super cute gems have already been named, I am already a follower of the blog, I cannot decide which ones I like best, and I don't know how long I will actually be able to see my feet… but I am pretty sure that these would be the most perfect accessory for my maternity wardrobe so maybe I will win them anyway. Another wonderful creation gals!
These are just so fabulous I can hardly contain myself… I already have my little charms picked out, so even if I don't win, I'm buying myself a pair.
