Summer is approaching, Girls, which means it’s time to update our shoe collections before all the best shoes in our size are sold out!  I decided to start with the summer essentials – the flats, and look what 17 Most Fabulous Designer Flats for Spring-Summer 09 I found!

Ankle straps, thong sandals, bright colors and embellishments are all hot this season.  Just take a peek at these designer creations and you’ll get the idea of what kind of flats to look for in your favorite shopping place!

1. Alexander McQueen – Darwin gladiator sandal …

2. Alexandra Neel – Jane flat suede thong with feather trim …

This sandal is SO exquisite!!!  I just love the feather detail and the black suede!

3. Donna Karan – Tarmac napa and cotton elastic sandal …

4. Dries Van Noten – Black and multicolored leather sandal …

5. Bruno Frisoni – Flat patent leather sandal …

I love Bruno Frisoni high heels and apparently, I love his flats as well!  Great colors and gorgeous details, don’t you think?

6. Anna Sui – Embroidered raffia thong sandal …

7. Anna Sui – Leather thong sandal with studded appliqué …

These are too “Anna Sui” for my taste, but if Bohemian look is something you are after, these will be perfect!

8. Calvin Klein – Crocodile laced bootie …

I can only imagine how much these must cost!  But they are so fabulous!  The only problem is that one should also have a perfectly tailored sexy pants suit and Gisele Bundchen’s legs to rock these shoes!

9. Diane von Furstenberg – Wicked shoe in true gold metallic napa …

10. Roger Vivier – Thong with patent leather flower detail …

Aren’t these flats the cutest?  That flower and the embellished detail at the front make these sandals look fabulous!

11. Jil Sander – Napa leather side-open slide …

These flats reminded me of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at TIffany’s, very cute.

12. Lanvin – Crystal-embellishment thong …

They are pink, and they are bejeweled!  Can flats get any more glam than these?

13. Salvatore Ferragamo – Suede flat with bow detail …

14. Salvatore Ferragamo – Leather flat with lizard-strap bow …

15. Yves Saint Laurent – Cage flat …

16. Sergio Rossi – Leather flat …

I love Sergio Rossi shoes, they fit so well and they last forever.  Oh, and they are gorgeous too!

17. Tod’s – Leather driving moccasin …

The last ones are such a must-have!  I know they look a bit too manly, but Tod’s moccasins are the ultimate driving (walking, shopping, traveling) shoe.  So, if you ever decide to splurge on these, you won’t be disappointed!  They’ll last you forever and they look so cool with super tight or rolled up jeans and a white T-Shirt, you’ll be amazed!  Very laid back and very sexy in a “Le Smoking” kind of way!
