If you haven’t made it to Menina Step for their quality, all leather Spanish ballerina flats at a steal ($64), now is the time. They’re in their newly expanded store at 9814 SW 77th Avenue (T.305-495-1069) and with their new collection. One friend who just went bought four pair! Models include ballerinas with a little heel, the oh-so-in-style floral prints, snakeskin in lovely colors, rounded and pointy toes, slipons, ballerina flats with a wedge, and espadrilles. Note that the website does not show the latest models and prices are higher than at the shop.

Wish you could go to the “super bowl of fashion”, The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala but don’t have the $25K for a ticket or the contacts to make it happen? Now’s your chance to do second best — see a film, behind the scenes at the Gala. If you like fashion, do NOT miss it.  A new movie debuting at O Cinema Wynwood, 90 N.W. 29th Street, is screening The First Monday in May through Thursday.  With unprecedented access, filmmaker Andrew Rossi captures the collision of high fashion and celebrity at the Met Gala, one of the biggest global fashion events chaired every year by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. Featuring a cast of renowned artists in many fields (including filmmaker Wong Kar Wai and fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano) as well as a host of contemporary pop icons like Rihanna, the movie dives into the debate about whether fashion should be viewed as art. Tickets can be ordered online.
