top 10 ballerina flats

Hello I am back! I am finally done with my exams and that marks the end of my education in NUS Law School. Surprisingly, I still don't feel emo and sad enough to leave, probably because I totally enjoyed my 4 years there, and there is nothing to regret about it. Yes of course, I could have studied harder and did better, but there is no reason for me to look back and sigh... Because NUS Law School truly gave me everything that I needed. My degree, a good education, great teachers, valuable practical experience, wonderful friends, and most importantly, my amazing bf. :) For those friends who are not done with the exams, ALL THE BEST!!! It's going to be over soon and a month (more than that for my year 2/3 friends) of well-deserved break is waiting for you! :) Meanwhile, I decided to list my top 10 ballerina flats and tell you more about my shoes again to entertain those who are still mugging or just plain bored, like me. :)

Generally, I adore ballet flats because they are very comfortable and do not affect my posture. Ballet flats are good when going out with guys shorter than me, or walking long distances. It also gives a more casual look to my attire, so that I don't look overdressed for the occasion. I love flats from URS, Prada and Ferragamo. Whenever I go into these shops, I often come out with more than one pair of ballets. Sometimes, I love the design so much that I would buy two pairs of different colours. :p Anyway, here's presenting my top 10 most favourites! :)


10. URS black suede with cream bow


This has to be my first pair of URS shoes in my life. I bought them when I was in JC I think. It has served me very well for more than 5 years, until one rainy day at Sheares Hall. The suede material and the soles were thoroughly drenched. So now it's just looking pretty in my cabinet. It's still wearable though.


9. URS pink star buckle


Ok then this was my second pair. As you can tell from the design of the inner sole, it's of the same season as the black pair above. Very comfortable.


8. Ferragamo black loafers



These aren't really ballets. They are more like loafers. I bought this in two colours, black and mocha. Super comfortable albeit a little too manly.


7. Charles & Keith pink shiny


I love the pink!!! It's so princessy pretty. hahaha.. I think shellen has this in silver. But this was the last pair of Charles & Keith flats I bought. Their flats don't really suit my feet shape because the bone sticking out below my big toe feels very painful everytime I wear their flats. Their heels are perfectly fine though. Weird...


6. URS silver bow



Silver is in this season! Together with white, bright yellow, pink and green of course. But yes, silver is in fashion and if you don't fancy getting a silver bag because it's too overly shiny, why not get silver flats? They complement everything. From white to black. Of course, don't wear silver flats with silver clothes. You will look like a piece of aluminium foil. Try wearing silver flats with white or grey. :) Plus you can keep the silver shoes for fall/winter and match them with black!


5. URS black shiny bow


You can't really see the shine in this photo, but it's basically a simple black shiny shoe with a bow in front (I love bows in front of shoes as you can tell). Simple and classy.


4. Ferragamo dark grey


Bow again!!! :):):) I heart this pair of shoes because it's so classy yet it can be worn both day and night! This was the pair of shoes which got cx and I talking, and subsequently becoming friends in year one. hahahaha... She saw my shoes and said, "oh my gosh your shoes are damn nice, can I try?" when we didn't even know each other. So yes, thanks to this pair of shoes, I met a wonderful friend in law sch. :)


3. URS black with matte gold chain


My most recent purchase. It looks super comfortable, and it is! I shall wear this to Korea next week! :)


2. Prada pink with orange tip and bow


I fell in love at first sight with this pair of shoes in Venice coz it's PINK!!! So pwetty!!! Love it so so much... :) The first time I wore this out was when I went to SPH with lerk to settle some law iv charity stuff. And then it freaking RAINED!!! So when lerk dropped me off at the mrt station, I ran out of the car barefooted and held onto my shoes tightly. When I reached the shelter, I took out tissue paper and dabbed off the wet spots on the shoes, wiped my feet dry and wore the shoes back on. HAHAHA!!!


1. Prada black loafers


Again, this is a pair of loafers but who cares. I only have three pairs of loafers so I shall give this pair an honourable mention here because it has been with me since JC and has travelled the world with me. It survived hongkong, japan, china, italy and switzerland. That's why I only wear it when I go travelling. :) Kinda manly too... But it really really serves my purpose. ZERO blisters. Seriously if you need any pair of comfortable leather shoes to travel, Prada is where you should go. :)


Ok off to dinner! All the best for those who are still having their exams, and for those who are done, have fun and don't mock at those who are not done! :) Love you guys!!!
