L'Icona by Ferragamo

 

I adore wearing flats; walking everywhere practically necessitates a full-on heel-free wardrobe.  Even my wedding shoes were a stunning (and comfortable) pair of Steve by Steve Madden silver peep-toe bow flats.

To commemorate the thirty-fifth anniversary of their beloved Vara and Varina styles, Ferragamo has gifted their fans with a DIY web app.

Every detail is totally customizable; from the material to the color (and, of course, the lovely bow), the sky is the absolute limit.  You can even add up to three initials, which are etched on a metal plate affixed to the shoes sole.

I love the look of a citron base with an oxford blue bow + gold hardware for summer, and the bisque with a red bow is such a sophisticated twist for those who crave a little kitsch.

Although they are a bit dear at $550, the possibilities are endless - and you're guaranteed your very own perfect pair.
