Gold Loafers

These are the shoes dreams are made from. I've been searching for a pair of metallic gold loafers for ages and have finally found some nice ones by J Crew. They're not the cheapest loafers you can find at £200 but will last and get better with age, I like a bit of tarnishing. They also epitomise the 'dressy flat' shoe that I think most of us are lacking in our wardrobes.

 Wear with: Rolled up jeans, all black ensambles, vintage calf length skirts- So many possibilities!

Classic penny loafers- I quite like them in silver too.

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!
