YOSI SAMRA
{please visit yosi samra here}
Designer Yosi Samra knows a thing or two about shoes, after all his family has been in the business for over 30 years and he himself joined the business at the tender age of 20. While most of us at that age were deciding what to wear to school, Yosi was making plans to ensure that one day it would be a pair of his shoes. When the opportunity finally came to expand the family business he offered up his eponymous collection and well the rest is history. The fold up flats are the headliners, at $50 you can afford to get a pair in most every color and color is very important to Samra. Let’s talk comfort shall we? These flats were made with that in mind, they are made to slip in your bag undetected and when the opportunity arises to stealthily slip out of those $600 stiletto’s that are KILLING you, you will have the Yosi Samra ballet flat to slip into and still be stylish as all get out–stiletto’s meet your new frenemy.
Yosi Samra is happily going to get you started on your fold up ballet flat collection. The winner will win not one but 2 pairs of leather ballet flats in the color of their choice. You just need to answer the following question by Monday, February 1, 2010:
What color flats would you want if you won and where would be the first place you wore them to?
Please check the winners box by Wednesday, February 3, 2010 to see if you won.
I love the purple or gold but I’d probably go with the gray suede. I’d wear them to lunch with my daughter.
I would love the black or gray suede ones! They are both so cute and practical. The first place I would wear them to is work because I have flat feet, so it’s sometimes difficult for me to walk around in high heels!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE Flats. I have been looking for these for awhile now. They are great to travel with because they are so compact and fold right into your bag.
I would like the rose gold leather that i would where out to dinner with a cute little dress. then also the grey suede that i could wear out shopping in Paris:-)
I was most drawn to the navy (which is not on the site) and the silver, but I love all of the colors. I think I’d wear the silver ones with a gorgeous dress to my good friend’s wedding in May. Would certainly be able to do a lot of dancing in these and enjoy my friend’s special day.
I would choose the Brown Suede and the Rose Gold Leather. I would put them on immediately and wear them EVERYWHERE! I am seriously addicted to ballet flats but these are the BEST I have ever seen! My friends always make fun of me because I carry a pair with me in my purse to wear home from a night out on the town.
The black leather flats are a staple in any wardrobe and the rose gold flats can spice up different outfits. I would wear mine strolling through the park on lazy weekend afternoons to watch the french bulldogs in my neighborhood play :)
If I won, I’d pick the silver pair because I own too much black and I’d wear them everywhere because all I wear are flats! I had saved these shoes on my “wish list” a few weeks ago – they remind me of Lanvin flats but SO much easier on the wallet! Thanks for the great giveaway!
The rose gold flats, because then I’d feel like a real ballerina! The first place I’d wear them to would be touring college campuses in Portland, because then I’d feel like a put-together, classic city girl.
I would choose both black, one in leather and one in suede, becaus then I could wear them with just about anything. Where would I wear them? Hmmm, probably when I went out with the “girls” for an evening or to scrapbooking. They look like they would be sooo comfy, I could see myself wearing them all the time. Thanks for the opportunity to win them.
I adore these flats in every color, but I’d probably go for rose gold or grey suede and wear them on a day trip into Manhattan to have lunch with my dear old friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Great fun even to think of it! … many thanks.
After choosing to wear the gentle grey flats over my also new chocolatey brown flats (because we win 2 Pair!!), I would walk their maiden voyage right down to the Goodfoot- my favorite oh so underground Indie dance hall, and I would shake, shuffle, hop, and spin my way into perfect bliss- my soul and soles, colliding to Mr. Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough.”… and I won’t.
mmmm hard to chose, black, rose gold, bronze are just really pretty colors. I would chose bronze. The comfort of the sandal and its bronze earthy color will be perfect for the first day in my new job in February. It will make me feel more stable therefore less nervous !
Rose gold for pretending to be a ballerina and grey suede for everything else.
Black Leather – I’m thinking of pairing those with gray tights, blue skirt, white blouse, fuchsia scarf – for a day of boutiquing
and Grey Suede will most definitely be paired with anything yellow, for those gray days that need some sunshine!
Purple Suede! As I must wear all black ensembles for work, I use shoes and accessories to add some much needed color. I don’t have purple shoes so these would find much love in my home!
Silver leather. I once had silver pumps that a friend’s daughter called my “princess shoes.” Unfortunately, those pumps are no longer with us. These fun & shiny flats would definitely make me a princess again!
I would also get the Grey Suede for daily use (& I do mean daily!). :D
I would want the brown suede and the silver I believe. I would wear the silver to work, because shiney shoes are always a pick me up on a dreary Monday!
Ooh Silver. To my best friend’s wedding. Lovely. Looks like I could dance all night in those.
the grey suede, I think. Or maybe brown. Or black. Red?
And I don’t think I’d take them off. Ever.
i love the black leather and the grey suede flats. i would wear them to complete any outfit. i need some really sweet flats. i can’t really put together any outfit as i’m lacking some standard looks.
I would love to wear the grey suede or sliver flats. I am a teacher and like to look fashionable but wearing heals everyday can be taxing on my feet. These flats would help me look chic in the classroom and still be comfortable.
I love that beautiful navy blue, or maybe the silver? Shiny is always good in moderation, and shoes is just the right amount!
I think I would take my new shoes out on a sightseeing trip in San Francisco. I’d be careful not to walk them through any wet grass, but I’d make sure they saw the Golden Gate bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Ghirardelli Square. Then maybe we’d pause for some delicious pasta in North Beach, followed up with sinful Italian pastries. After that, I think a stroll around one of the lakes in Golden Gate Park (on the path, of course!), and then perhaps out to a swanky restaurant for a mojito and some Latin music to shimmy to.
After all that, I think my shoes would be very tired, so I’d walk them home carefully, slip them off at the door, and let them just take a little snooze. I’d be very quiet so as not to disturb their rest.
I love the bronze leather and black suede… actually I love all of them but these two were my absolute favourites. I also love the blue boots that they have on their website… to die for! The first place I’d wear them to would probably be out for dinner with my hubby. I would wear them everywhere after that.
I would like the blue flats. I admit I wouldn’t wear them anywhere, but I would walk *with* them over to my sister’s house who loves ballet flats and can never have enough. Her first child just left for college, and she needs a little pick-me up.
I love the bronze and the silver. Beautiful! And I know exactly where I would wear them first: I take my daughter to French school every Monday. It’s in the fancy suburb outside of town, and I pull up every Monday in my rusty car, trudge inside in my dirty boots and my stained coat. I know I shouldn’t care, but I always feel so under-dressed amid all the other ritzy moms. It has gotten so bad that the last few weeks, I actually take off my boots and stash them under a table so no one will see them, and I just claim that it’s because of the snow and I don’t want to get the floor wet (a bad excuse since the snow has all just melted!!). I’d love to have some pretty new shoes I can feel proud of and that will give me confidence as I chat with the other moms.
Oooooh….bronze for the classical goddess…
and infinity midnight blue for the stargazer… in me…
I would want a pair of Samara fold up ballet flats in grey suede and the other pair in black suede. I would wear the grey pair out, immediately, to an art gallery. I love going to art openings; I spend hours analyzing every detail in things I see. From the stitches in a pair of shoes to the stunning art I will run to while wearing them. I use to stare, perpetually, at things when I was a kid so that I could remember them later. I’d love to observe countless aspects of my favorite artists work in those shoes (I often feel underdressed when I go out to do things I enjoy. It could be at a theme park, but if it means something to me I like to dress that way).
I’d definitely choose the bronze coloured shoes. They’d look so cute with coloured tights! I’d want to wear them right away but since it’s winter here and the streets are wet and snowy, I’d bring them with me to wear at work. They’d keep my feet comfy and cute all day long.
I really love the navy ones (didn’t see them on the website though) and the grey suede is a close second! I’d wear them to the corner store – a first stop on a very long walk, on which I would inevitably be stopped several times so that people could ask me, “Where did you get those SHOES???”
It’s so very hard to find good and stylish flats – these are the ticket!!
Black leather because who doesn’t wear black flats incessantly? And the rose gold because I would feel amazing every time I wore them. Which would mean hubby and I would need a date night so I could wear them as soon as I got them!
I love the gray flats! The color adds more life to an outfit than black ones would, but still match everything!
The first place I would wear them is out of my door! I’d wear them on my way to class or out on an errand. They look so comfortable, they would be the perfect flat for a college student on the go!
Plus, wearing those adorable gray flats would just make me feel so whimsical!
Black because they match everything and rose gold because they’d make me feel like a ballerina :)
I’d be so excited to get them that the first place I’d wear them to would be my living room! The second place I’d wear them would be around school. It’’s still snowy here, and probably will be for a couple months (I’m not sure yet, it’s my first Midwest winter), but I keep a pair of cute flats in my office so I don’t have to wear bulky snow boots all day. I would love it if these were flats that I got to change into every morning! They would definitely brighten up my dreary grad school life.
I adore the black and grey flats. I’d probably wear them at home, while dancing around to Make Her Say by Common and entertaining my two cats and boyfriend. :)
I would choose the silver pair and wear them to an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. Our third anniversary is coming up soon and three years ago when we met I was wearing silver shoes!
I love love love the rose gold and gold flats. I’m gone for work every Monday-Thursday and would love to wear these for a Friday night date night with my boyfriend. Since they’re so special I might even take a change and mix and match them oo la la! After I break them in with one fancy dinner I can start bringing them with me every week; they’ll pack so easily in my carry-on I can bring them both! I would be the most comfortably chic consultant around :)
I would take the gold flats and throw them in my gym bag, so that when I was finished at the gym, people would notice the sparkle in my step, literally.
(Okay, that’s a complete lie. I would throw them on in my apartment and jump up and down while my husband rolled his eyes. Then, I would take them to the gym).
I love those grey suede ones. They look super comfy to wear out and about to classes and such.
I think the navy in the picture is lovely, but sparing that (i don’t see it on the website) I would go with rose gold. I am looking for a nice pair of flats to wear on my wedding day. Could these be it? I think maybe..
One Black, one gray. I am far too practical for my own good sometimes… I probably would wear them around my house fresh out of the box, giddy with joy. But for reals, in public, these shoes are too cute NOT to wear all zee time.
it’s a tie between the black leather and grey suede. both so classy. the first place i’d wear them is probably in front of my mirror having fun matching them with all my outfits and getting excited over how well it goes with everything. the shoes are beautiful!
Oh I just love them. I would choose blue and I would wear them out for a night of dancing!
I’m in love with the grey suede! The first place they would take me is out to dinner. I would wear them everywhere!
Mm..definitely the grey suede. I’ve been wanting grey flats forever! And these are made to be comfortable? Woo hoo! I also LOVE the purple suede- just what I need to push me further out of my comfort zone. So pretty too. I would wear the purple immediately. Stop whatever I’m doing when the mail comes and slip those pretties on. And prance around my house admiring myself. And then maybe prance for the neighbors too. Ok, maybe not.
Silver would match my hair when I cruise through the theater lobby, and blue would be practical to wear while visiting/shopping/and behaving sedately.
I’d get them in grey suede, and they’d slip into my suitcase for my upcoming trip during Spring Break for those times when my heels get a little too painful. but knowing how I am with new shoes, I’d probably wear them as soon as I receive them from the post office. Yes, I’m one of those people who opens their packages in the parking lot, and then proceeds to try things on in the car because I’m much too impatient to wait until I get home.
i heart the rose gold ballerina-esque shoes! i would literally wear them with everywhere – once the gosh darn rain stops;p i would hop on the bus like a lil princess going up the steps to perform on stage, saunter down the aisle like a diva runway model, and then balance on the jerky bus like a skilled prima dona ballerina performing on her toes.
I love them all! :-O So beautiful .. Except from the pink or the gold, I would use all the others. I have a wedding in May, perhaps with the right shoes I will finally start looking for a nice dress :-D
These would different be my first fold up ballet flat shoes. I was never sure if they would suit me, but these are starting to change my mind! They look very comfortable and very pretty. It would be great to win this!
I would definitely go for the black leather (basic, goes with everything, and can still dress up an outfit while maintaining comfort) and the grey suede (the grey is beautiful and would love to have a pair of grey shoes. It would also still go with a lot of what I own). As I am in my last semester of college, going to class in style and comfort, these shoes would be the perfect place to wear them to and help me transition to spring. They are also seem like a great transition wardrobe piece into a young professional applying to jobs.
Thanks for having this lovely giveaway! :]
totally the rose gold leather! So amazing, and so pretty. Well I would wear them on a date with my husband because I always want to look my best and what better way with some adorable glowing shoes :)
Silver. Pixie feet. To the movies with my boo.
