Hullaba-Lulu











Because my last name is Lewis, my parents have been calling me Lulu since I was a little girl. These snappy bow ballet flats share the exact same nickname. How can I say no?

Fun fact, directly from J. Crew dot com: "the author of The Preppy Handbook, passing through our office one day, named them for us."

The Official Preppy Handbook has been on my nightstand since junior high. I have it memorized, cover to cover. If these shoes are anointed a must-have by none other than Lisa Birnbach, the only question left is what color? The buttery tan, cool gray, or sunny yellow?
