It's sad but true - summer is nearing it's end. But cheer up, there's a few weeks left and when the cooler seasons finally do roll around, we've got a whole new set of styles and trends to try!


One such trend that transitions perfectly from sunny days to breezy afternoons is the pointed toe flat. Pointy flats work well with a flirty, flared skirt and loose blouse and then look equally cute when paired with skinny jeans and an over-sized sweater.


Plus, the sharp tip elongates the leg and makes the overall look seem sleeker and much more chic that it's rounded-toe counter parts. High end designer shoe brands are loving this new trend, but we're loving the fact that you can find a cute pair for $50 or less!

One of our favorite such icons? The elegant and beautiful Audrey Hepburn. With her lady-like ensembles and demurely stylish charms, hers is a look that transcends time. From her stove-pipe pants, cashmere turtlenecks, flared dresses and ballet flats, every aspect of Audrey Hepburn's style is one that we'd like to adopt.


And you don't have to spend the big bucks to dress like a big star, either! Click on the slideshow to see some of our favorite inspired-by-Audrey pieces for $50 or less!
