We love that feeling when you just love, love, love a fabulous have-to-have for your wardrobe right off the bat.  That’s how we felt when we laid eyes on these flats by Dollhouse.  The chic boho feel of the colorful snakeskin texture with a border of silver pallets will make this your go-to shoe for most of your fall wardrobe.

Travelistas, this can be your favorite travel shoe, too – from the plane to site-seeing and everything in between.  Try ‘em on with minis, leggings, your new fall shorts, and your favorite skinny jeans.  And at $39.50, they’re a total bargain.

The queen of the getaway — whether she’s in St. Tropez, Ibiza, Thailand or Glastonbury — is hands-down Kate Moss, because she looks stylish and comfortable, always.
