Kelly's Klicks: Chic Ballet Flats

Q. I've been seeing these cute flats around and would love to snag a pair or two for myself. Can you help me find some cute options online?

A. Why these Audrey-esque ballet flats took so long to make a fashion comeback I'll never know, but suffice it to say, I, along with millions of women everywhere, are glad they did. A welcome relief from foot-unfriendly heels, ballet flats are not only comfy, but fabulously stylish, too. Best worn with cropped pants, which are super hot this fall, as well as pencil pants, skirts and dresses, there's nothing flat about their sweet and charming style.

I'm gaga for Mystique's new sequin flats, in gold, silver, or pink. Talk about instantly adding pizzazz to your look -- it's like you’re the modern-day version of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Earn the nickname 'Twinkle Toes' by snagging a pair for $68, like the celebs do, at LA's shopkitson.com.

Remember good ol' Sam & Libby from the early '90s? Aaah, memories. They've got an adorable faux-croc flat this season in brown, with a shiny oversized metal buckle. Pick up a pair for $60 at shoes.com. You'll also get free shipping and free returns. Also at shoes.com, an irresistible girly golden flat by Irregular Choice for $90.

You also can't beat zappos.com for their free shipping and free return-shipping policy. What to snag? The Joey O Bobcat flat: a pink shoe with brown leopard spots, full of flare and funk, for $152. Or, go mod with Bebe's Farrah shoe, in retro brown, orange and white circles, for $55.

Style a bit too wild for your liking? Go ladylike instead with a pair of Kate Spade's new Party Yellow or Party Green flats, adorned with a sparkling rhinestone plate ornament, for a mere $395. If you can wait 'til January, when they're expected to hit stores, use katespade.com to find the retailer nearest you and place a pre-order.

Too much to swallow? Try a budget-friendly red tweed pair, with a feminine flower accent, for just $16, at oldnavy.com.
