Repetto Ballerina Glitter, Bergdorf Goodman, $240

Channel daughter of Keith Richards and Patti Hansen,  Alexandra Richards when you purchase your next pair of ballet flats. As seen in the New York Times Sunday Style Section, Karin Nelson reported that Miss Richards is more than happy to borrow her clothing from mom and dad but recently purchased high heeled dance shoes at the Repetto store in Paris.

While I’m less likely to wear high heels because of my 5’10″ stature, I’m definitely into their ballet flats. Repetto’s Glitter Ballerina shoe are made up to a size 11 and come in black and a luscious purple.

Available at Bergdorf Goodman for $240, I think I’ll have to ask Santa for these!
