Loafers

I am a big fan of loafers and brogues. I think the loafer is particularly great because they bridge the gap between formality and comfortableness (probably not a word but suits my purpose). I ummed and ahhed about investing in a pair from Russell and Bromley for ages but then lucky old me found an a pair of vintage Bally loafers in Huddersfield vintage market for £4, unworn and in my size.

The loafer report:
Russell and Bromley is probably the most popular loafer makers at the moment, however...


This new range by Tommy Hillfiger and G.H. Bass and Co may steal their thunder. Made using traditional methods these authentic penny loafers are pretty special. Blue soles!

These navy loafers from Church's are also not without their charms.

The Bally find, love!

Dior Nails

After a very long blog absence (had things to muse about but haven't mused), I felt that my new favorite thing deserved a post; brace yourself it's going to be pretty shallow. Dior top coat for nails is incredible! Put it over any nail varnish and it not only enhances the shine but also dries your nails to rock hard in less than 10 minutes and makes your paint job last for at least a week and a half if not longer. This top coat is a must have for those of us that like to have painted nails but never have the time to do it.
