Flat-Out Cool

Emily Hsieh
Staff editor Jennifer Romolini has been loving the new flats on the British shoe site Office. "All of the styles seem a little offbeat and original, and they're surprisingly affordable too," she says. Most hover around $75—still a good
deal despite the ever-going exchange rate. I asked Jennifer to narrow down her favorites to three, and she came back with the following: "Aruba," red satin ballet flats with pretty gathered fronts; "Asha," which are incredibly good, huarache-ish sandals

in silver metallic; and a sleek, sculptural take on a simple black flat called "Aphrodite."
