My darling boyfriend gave me the most beautiful pair of ballet flats earlier this week. Forever a chicskate, he let me in on the bargain buy. The Cole Haan Aleta Ballet, originally retailing in the $160 price range, was posted on Gilt Groupe for half the price. Being the thoughtful person he is, he decided to surprise me with them. I love surprises and love them even more when they’re smart purchases. Thanks, love!
