Flats of Fancy

We've dreamed of dancing pas de deux with Baryshnikov, though we can barely manage a plié.

Our dancing fantasies may be on ice, but a great pair of ballet flats can add a little jeté to any outfit. Claudia, Kate and Kylie have all been spotted tiptoeing around in Pretty Ballerinas’ handmade flats, and its new Montreal boutique stocks all the styles we need to satisfy your inner Karen Kain. We love the sleek black flats with diamonds and pearls ($355) and the sassy leopard prints with just the perfect touch of toe cleavage ($283), but it was the disco blue glitters ($211) that won our heart.

Our tutu may be in the closet but we’re gracefully right on pointe.
