It Item
Just What I Need
Phoebe Philo dropped the first delivery of her second edit this morning and I snapped up these flats. Just what I need.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

GREAT!!!
The sheer simplicity with just enough ‘oomph’ in the detail / stitching to provide the edge…..wonderful!
I saw those, cute! I am still contemplating the Cabas bag though.
I am waiting for that black collared shirt with the elbow length sleeves. Swoon!
The fringe slides are so fun! Love every piece in the collection.
I don’t know – I just don’t see chic in these brown, round toe flats. I rarely wear flats, but if I did, the Chanel cap toes w/tie bow or a more feminine Blahnik version would suit me better.
I wanted to add – I didn’t see these shoes in context of the collection. It’s very possible I don’t get the look! 🙂
I hate to commit heresy, but I am not a fan of Phoebe Philo. Like Paula, I don’t quite get it. I did notice that Gianvito Rossi has similar shoes-although with a Mary Jane strap across the foot; some are flat, some with heels. These look quite chic.
All opinions (nicely stated) welcome. I often think twice about an item when someone explains why they dislike it. The suggestion of an alternative is also welcome. And, I appreciate that you respond to one another’s questions, that back-and-forth is helpful.
On another note, the Saint Laurent satin slides were hard to walk in, so they went back. Not that they were a practical purchase to begin with… I’m going to be in Paris for a month, so I’m looking for a simple flat and I love this shade of brown. Trying to find a comfy flat as an alternative to sneakers and Belgian loafers is always a challenge for me. The only Chanel flats I own now are the denim slingbacks, which are coming with me. I am packing only things that rarely get worn. If I don’t wear something on this trip, I may give it away when I return. After all, if I don’t wear it in Paris, where will I wear it? xp
Not a huge fan either. I love the looks of the Ava Two flat. Very similar with that front seam, but a nicer silhouette to my eye. But of course, go with what’s comfortable.
One of my favorite posts of you was in a pair of white Common Project sneakers with a skirt. So damn chic and way cooler than sambas. I still wear my Golden Goose Mid sneakers with skirts all the time, especially since nobody is wearing them much anymore which is a reason to wear them to me. Try those, you’d look adorable in them. And you still have your Chanel flats to wear too.
Soeur just launched very cute sneakers, I’ll pick up a pair and post on them.
@preston- interesting approach to packing for your Paris trip. I usually do the opposite and only bring my favorites, then of course come home and ask myself why I have all this other stuff. Are you planning on buying new stuff as a backup or just powering through if you don’t like/wear/find uncomfortable the things you brought?
Very good question….
