Ever since I saw a pair of adorable faux-snakeskin, bright pink smoking slipper flats at Target, I've been obsessed. Yes, they're a little man-ish. Yes, they look like what Drag Queen Hugh Hefner might wear (aside: I totally want to meet Drag Queen Hugh Hefner, I bet that bitch has crazy game).

But I love them.

They have an androgynous edge that sets them apart from ballet flats, and I dig it. The only problem is these are really uncomfortable. No offense, Target. You have some awesome shoes, I'm just sayin' these just do not satisfy the "slipper" requirement of "smoking slippers."

And I was all, "Aw man, I really want an awesome pair of smoking slippers, but they have to be as cute as those Target ones." Well, hello Sam Edelman!

How badass are these?? It's like what Lisbeth Salander would wear if she wanted to don a velvet robe while puffing on a Cuban. Or Katniss Everdeen would wear these and kick President Snow IN THE FACE UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE YEAH, THESE ARE BADASS SMOKING SLIPPERS is what I'm saying.

Oh, and they also come in a rose gold color.

And as if you needed more reason to get on this trend with me, Olivia Palermo is totally rocking it, too. Just submit now, Damsels. The Cubans are on me.
