I think every working woman should have a nice pair of flats. After reading so many rave reviews about Tieks by Gavrieli and the "Ballet Flat - Reinvented" I decided to order some and see for myself. The Nude Patent Tieks I ordered are $195 including free two-day shipping and tax. The flats are gorgeous and come in such cute packaging:
The idea behind Tieks is brilliant. Tieks are foldable ballet flats that are perfect for travel and perfect for a "these heels are killing me and I don't want to walk barefoot" moment. Tieks come with a compact foldable bag for your heels (blue shown below) as well as a black pouch that fits your Tieks. You can conveniently keep Tieks in your clutch and make the switch if necessary. Or in my case, just wear the Tieks as ballet flats. The pouch and blue bag that come with the flats: They have several prints and colors it was impossible for me to choose. I ordered the following colors: 1. Lemon yellow - this was my second favorite pair 2. Lavender - tied for second I loved these as well 3. Fuchsia - didn't really care for these as they are matte instead of patent leather 4. Pop Pink - TOO BRIGHT! YIKES! 5. WINNER - Nude Patent - timeless and gorgeous Although I cannot comment on their durability (YET) I really like the look and feel of them so far. I will do an updated post in a few months! PURCHASE TIEKS HERE!!!
