CHLOÉ SCALLOPED BALLET FLATS

Of all the ballet flats I own or have tried so far, Chloé still emerge as one of my firm favourites. Many ballet flats ‘bite’ me at the heel, or the edges rub and chafe against the upper part of my feet. There are a few brands of ballet flats that work for me, but Chloe are BY FAR the best I’ve tried so far.

These Chloe scalloped ballet flats are ultra ultra soft! They’re made of supple nappa leather.. one of my favourite leathers ever. They slip on like a dream, and the leather is buttery soft. They feel like a sock! Zero biting, zero chafing, just super comfy. I also like the scalloped edge, which I think make them look a little prettier and more feminine than traditional ballet flats.

Super pretty, don’t you reckon? :)

Feeling almost kinda like Dorothy

 

This is my precious, prized collection of Chloe flats. They’re a little dressier than wearing sandals, and I am just a sucker for good quality leather. I can wear them out shopping, or for a dinner date.

Only downside to buying Chloe flats is that you have to be aware that they do stretch. They’re made of such buttery leather, so it molds to the shape of your feet but can also expand. For this reason, I always size half-to-one size down, and then they’re perfect!

 

CHLOÉ LACE-TRIM BALLET FLATS

I really love my Chloé scalloped ballet flats, they are hands down the softest leather shoes I own. I believe they’re lambskin? I’ve never touched another pair of shoes that are as buttery-soft as Chloé, which is why they tend to be my go-to daily wear flats.

So I was pretty excited to score a pair of these Chloé lace-trim ballet flats. They were on sale and a gf helped snap them up for me, yay! They are as buttery soft as my other pair, and in a lovely nude colour. My VERY FIRST pair of nude shoes and I’m liking how they match whatever I’m wearing. The pretty lace/beaded trim is so cute too :)

I normally wear a 35.5 or a 36, and I find that Chloé flats fit me best in a 35.5. The leather is so soft that it stretches, and then your foot slips out easily. Just something to take note of if you’re on the hunt for a pair of Chloé!

I guess they are really really comfy because Hunter LOVES wearing them. He’s even figured out which one is left and which one is right, and will slide his feet in and shuffle around our Living room, pleased as punch. He really likes wearing my shoes (I hope this isn’t the start of some strange fetish!) but these Chloé flats are his favourite ;)

Turned my back for a minute and next thing I know, Hunter’s got his feet in my shoes..

 

Pleased with himself

 

He saw me taking photos modelling them on my feet.. and so insisted I take one of him doing it too..

 

Finally satisfied after wearing my new Chloé flats, he then proceeded to try and get Carter to wear them

 

Carter was NOT impressed

 

CHLOÉ METALLIC LEATHER BALLET FLATS

I’m a big fan of ballet flats, but don’t often buy them as it’s SO difficult to find beautifully-soft ones! Many of the ones in stores bite at my heels, or hurt after a couple of hours of walking around. So far, the best ballet flats I have are my Lanvin metallic-blue leather ballet flats that are comfy and actually look nice on my feet.

About 2 years ago, when I was holidaying in Singapore, I tried on a pair at Chloé ballet flats. They were reaaaalllly nice, but I resisted. Then the other day, I tried another pair of Chloé flats and decided that YES, they truly are insanely soft! And luckily, I found the original pair I wanted online at Net-a-porter.com… in a fab metallic gunmetal colour :D

They are, by far, the softest, smooshiest pair of shoes I own. They just feel luxurious on my feet, and few shoes manage to feel like that. They have a nice almond toe and I adore the girly scalloped edge, which makes it a little bit different to all the 62038603 types of ballet flats out there. They basically feel like I’m wearing a pair of comfy socks :P

CHLOE PADDINGTON WALLET

Decided to get a wallet, because I wanted one that had lots of compartments to fit in all my stuff. Did a whole bunch of research online comparing sizes, styles etc and finally decided on the Chloe black leather ‘Paddington’ wallet. My first Chloe item, I think! The very lovely helped me by getting it shipped to her house, and passed it to me when we met up for shopping/dinner whilst I was in the USA :) Sooo fun meeting up with friends, especially friends that I’ve known online for years but have never met up with in real life.

The Chloe wallet actually has more compartments that I need/use.. so half of it is empty, LOL. It’s actually pretty big to me, because I’m used to using small or thin wallets, so it works for my bigger bags but is a little bulk when, say, in my smaller Balenciaga bags. I loooove the way it SMELLS though, so luscious and leathery! And it’s black, so it’s nice and practical and I won’t freak out whenever it gets dirty, heh.
