I've always been a little nervous about buying a pair of loafers. I love the way they look on other people, but haven't been sure enough about what to wear them with or what shape looks best on me or whether they might be on their way out trend-wise, to buy a pair of my own. Fortunately, a pair of classic brown leather ones were bestowed upon me as a gift and they're pretty much perfect.

I seem to be spending a lot of time in south Brooklyn lately and there's definitely a certain je ne sais quoi about the area's stylish inhabitants. Now, I fit in with them!

I am already feeling anxiety and sadness about the day that my brand new black sandals will be worn to death and I will have to throw them away. That's how much I love them.

I feel like sometimes in the fall, I can fall into a slump where I wear sweaters and jeans every day. So, I decided I needed a good fall dress to wear with tights.
