As to where to shop for discounted designer flats, well, the answer would be SAKS. A significant number are currently on sale over there and we think you simply should check it out. You can start your search with these fabulous five (5):

On top of our list is this leopard print haircalf covered skull embellished ballerina from Giuseppe Zanotti. Whether or not the Italian designer was trying to pull a McQueen on this one, it really doesn’t matter because the shoe is super chic. Despite the round toe and flat bottom, it’s sexy and it’s statement making. Care for a pair?

Giuseppe Zanotti Leopard Print Haircalf Skull Ballet Flats, USD416 (was USD595)

Next on our list is this glam and sophisticated pointed number from Jimmy Choo. We picked this one specifically for those who are round toe-phobic. It is also slightly elevated, so you get a little bit of boost. It’s feminine, it’s sexy, it’s classy, and it is utterly timeless. What more can you ask from this one?

Jimmy Choo Glitter Covered Leather Sandy Flats, USD325 (was USD465)

For the lady who likes it unique and one of a kind, here’s a woven ballerina from Prada that might just do the trick. And on top of that unbelievably beautiful two tone texture, you also get a little bit of fun and sass with its fluffy pom pom decor. How cute, yes?

Prada Woven Bi Color Ballet Flats, USD385 (was USD550

This here is the perfect juxtaposition of sleek smooth surface and a roughened up bow. The contrast is quite interesting, don’t you think? And if you don’t feel like wearing the bow, no worries – it’s detachable! Oh, and if you’re looking for that d’Orsay ballerina with just a hint of “pointy” on the toe, this is it!

Bottega Veneta Bow Patent Leather Ballet Flats, USD371 (was USD530)

Like it classic with a dash of twist? Then try this tweed covered patent trimmed bow decorated ballerina from RED Valentino. It’s the perfect mix of conservative and modern, of rough to smooth and sleek, and of luxury and practicality. Can you appreciate?

RED Valentino Tweed and Patent Leather Bow Ballet Flats, USD245 (was USD350)

Not so much that we can declare it a hot shoe trend but enough for them to be noticed.

But it might just be because designers haven’t gone all out on this trend yet; the fall/winter season is too cold for metal embellishments after all. Come spring/summer season, we just might be seeing more and more of these locks and turnlocks. Chances are good of that actually happening especially considering that the Givenchy turnlock-embellished sandals made the Top 10 Most Wanted Shoes of Spring 2012 list.

If lock and turnlock detailed shoes already hold the key to your heart, then check out our compilation of 10 lock detailed shoes. We love them as glinting accents on warm boots and booties for this winter. Give ‘em a try too on loafers, pumps and flats once the warm weather rolls around.

Anne Hathaway, out and about with her boyfriend in Beverly Hills, October 2

Doesn’t she look great? And as you can see, Anne had on a pair of really comfortable looking ballerinas to go with her outfit. It’s a little hard to appreciate the shoes from such a distance, but allow me to show you how those flats look like up close. On Anne are a pair of super soft and stylish Yosi Samra Ballerinas similar to the ones below:

Yosi Samra Elastic Topline Ballet Flats in Beige Snake Print, USD62

Yosi Samra Elastic Topline Ballet Flats in Charcoal Snake Print, USD66

(all from Shopbop)

Just by looking at these shoes, you can already tell they will feel like heaven (and believe me, your feet will thank you for it). Very cute, right? These Yosi Samra Flats are the foldable kind; they come handy in a pouch (that you can put inside your purse), and will work great as back-up shoes in case your feet get tired from those stilettos.

And you know what’s even better? A pair of Yosi Samra won’t cost you much (price starts at USD55, caps at USD88 depending on material). You can find these flats at Shopbop. It comes in several renditions so you have a LOT to choose from. Enjoy looking cool!
