I picked up these loafers shopping on Oxford Street the day before and awkwardly performed a quick exchange/balancing act on the street immediately thereafter. So much walking to be done here that I've learned switching your shoes a couple times a day makes it less likely you'll fill them up with blood by day's end. The more evenly you abuse your feet the better, obviously. I'm liking them paired up with shorts and dresses because they are like the foot equivalent of eyeglasses, thereby freeing up options in the hemline department. Not that I really have ever let that stop me in the past but still.

Mostly for my suitcase's benefit and maybe also partially cause I didn't really feel like shopping, I didn't buy anything aside from a blueberry smoothie while exploring Notting Hill. But it's exactly as beautiful as you want it to be in real life. That's always a little surprising when it happens.
