Shoes for girls: Faux Pas Paris opera ballet flats
My girls are ready to put away their furry boots and welcome in spring with prettier shoes in bright, sunshine-y colors. And I've found the cutest little fashion statements in Faux Pas Paris' Opera ballet flats -- new to the U.S. just in time for changing out the winter wardrobes. What I love most about Faux Pas Paris ballet flats is the bright "JAM" that affixes to the top of the shoe. These interchangeable adornments will make it so easy for girls to change up their look without changing their shoes -- hooray for savings. All shoes come with the heart; additional JAMS include candy-colored lollis, bows, and smarties (magnifique!). Since we know our girls would flip over interchanging and even mixing and matching JAMs on their shoes, we hope to see more of these fun adornments added to the collection, tout suite.

Another great perk of these ballet flats is that they're made of flexible PVC which means they are so easy to clean -- a necessity when all our April showers turn the ground into a sodden, sloppy mess. And for those of us still scrambling to put together Easter outfits, these beautifully made ballet flats will be comfy for the annual egg hunt and durable to last (without complaints) through Easter dinner. You'll find a selection of Faux Pas Paris Opera ballet flats and JAMs in little and big girl sizes from 11 to 3 at binklebot.com.
