From beachfront weddings and patio cookouts to concerts in the park and rooftop cocktail parties, there are plenty of occasions on your social calendar calling for a new pair of shoes. Leather ballet flats in pretty pastels and embellished thong sandals dress up boyfriend jeans and airy caftans alike, while strappy woven espadrilles and embossed stiletto heels are just begging for a night on the dance floor with your sexiest sundress.
Bloch has always looked to ballet dancers and their elegant art form for inspiration. Founded by shoe maker Jacob Bloch, this Australian footwear company has outfitted ballerinas worldwide in stylish dance shoes and sneakers, leotards, and accessories since 1932. Bloch’s street footwear line includes ballet flats for women and girls and — for the littlest ladies — Baby Bloch, an adorable collection of pre-walker shoes. Soft, flexible, and engineered to bend with the curvature of the foot, Bloch's comfortable shoes come in a wide range of colorful leather and often feature cute details such as bows and ruffles. In recent years Bloch has collaborated with designer Jozette Hazzouri on a line of chic Italian-made high heels and sandals — the perfect union of form and function.
