For the record: I don't have anything against heels. I think they're beautiful -- some of the most beautiful shoes that I own. But no matter what my plans are to wear them, I always end up tossing them off at the last minute to put on one of my beloved pairs of flats. It's become an ongoing joke with one of my girlfriends: she teases me that I should start the society of girls in flats.
So yesterday morning on Facebook, I decided to do just that. So here we are: the International Society of Girls in Flats. It's official! Within a day, more than 100 lovely women have joined. I'm so pleased. We're going to have our annual summit during the summer sale at the Emma Hope store in Notting Hill (Ha! I so hope!). Do you want to join? It's just for fun. Because life is too short to spend it on heels.

PS: It's easy to sign up, especially if you're already a member of Facebook!

haha I want to join! But I wear heels every day! Can I start the International Society of Girls in Heels? We won't be your groups enemies, just their counterparts!
oooh I do love Emma Hope shoes. I think I clipped some images of her shoes years ago and put them in my clipping archives.
I can't wear heels, and flats are too flat so I have to wear Birkies or Earth Shoes - Yes they still do make them.
This is what I can be seen in when the snow is gone.

How wonderful! An adorable name and concept. I'd love to join, but I'm not on Facebook. Might I be an honorary member? First, I need to find a few new pairs of flats for this spring and summer. I'm still sporting my cowboy boots because the weather's been unpredictable. But I want to find the most comfortable and chic flats around ... any suggestions in particular?
Hah! A woman after my own heart.
You know, my French grandmother - who was (and still is,even posthumously) famous for her style, both sartorial and decorative - absolutely refused on principal to wear heels. In an era when pumps were de rigeur, she wore only flats and espadrilles.
My own reasons are less aesthetic...I am a walker. I love to move. When I lived in NYC I used to walk up and down the island from top to bottom, sometimes several times a day. I am not comfortable in heels. Also, I am just shy of six feet tall with size 11 feet. Honkers! Even the loveliest and most graceful of high heeled shoes looks like an oceanliner in size 11, trust me.
I actually like my feet. And my feet like to wear flats.
International Society of Girls in Heels---officially created! Come join!

Hah! Lauren!! xoxo
This is absolutely great idea! I thought I was the only one who bought heels for their beauty and always ends up kicking them off for her trusty ballet pumps or flat slouchy boots!! I don't think I've developed the right muscles to walk in heels...and I certainly can't dance in them!!! I think a good pair of flats is so cute...you have a great concept here ;)x
Yay! I love flats and of course jumped to join your group on FB!! I would so be up for an annual summit in Notting Hill! :-)
I am sooooo the cute flat girl. I always get compliments on my jessica simpsons
this is so funny! i'm always wearing flats :)
Since I never been a stiletto girl (too impractical + I cannot walk on those), I am happy to join the group. Great idea!
yay for flats! im going to join
Remember espadrilles?
My bff just moved to Notting Hill.
Gotta love those "international societies" ;)
oh man, being five foot ten, flats might just be my best friend! what beautiful photos--you always have the most beautiful photos!
Very cute idea! Love the blog :)

ahh! i love flats! especially since i'm a bunch taller than all of my friends, wearing flats keeps me comfy and keeps me from having to literally look down on my friends... haha. i joined your group (:
i've been a diehard lover of heels until recently - my husband is shorter than me and now i'm knocked up! that combo has led me on a search for my inner flat loving self. perhaps the society can help me?
Amen! I'm hopping over to join now.
haha
i´ll definetly join!!!
:)
Oh I definitely have a flat fetish!
