Meow!

This started because my client needed sleek, chic flats that read corporate but given her West Coast roots, also needed to read laidback for her style ethos. I searched hi-and-lo for awesome flats and found TONS of kitten heels.

Needless to say, she's walking around in those 2.5cm, 1950's Audrey Hepburn-esque stiletto heels like she owns a runway!

Kitten heels are having their moment, so enjoy!
