Fall Footwear: Lady Loafers

I'm a fan of menswear-inspired footwear especially for fall. Over the past two years, I've acquired quite a few lace up oxfords. My latest obsession? Slip-on loafers! They're comfortable and easy to wear to skirts or pants.






DV by Dolce Vita "Marcela", $69.00I love the wingtip detals and tassels. I bought these loafers in the natural sand color. It's a bit hard to keep light colored suede and white soles looking fresh, so looking back I kind of wish I had gone with the magenta. I'd imagine they'd hide the dirt better, and they're an affordable way to sport the jewel tone trend happening this fall.






Matiko "Lilo", $114.95These flats are a bit manish, but I'm a sucker for perforated leather and I love how sleek these look. They're black flats; you can't really go wrong.






By Paige Fox "Black Needlepoint", $147.00Needlepoint might seem a bit grandma, but I love how cozy they look. With fitted pants or a pencil skirt, these foxy flats could look great.








Steven by Steve Madden "Madee", $119.00Leopard, love leopard! Pair these with some classics like dark jeans or tapered black pants for perfection.






Jeffrey Campbell "Sunshine", $119.90These vintage-inspired loafers are perfect a preppy black to school look.

B Brian Atwood

If you are a fan of sexy architectural luxury footwear, Brian Atwood’s name is no stranger to you. Unfortunately the signature footwear comes at a price that is a bit steep for the wallets of most.  Fortunately Brian Atwood is launching a new counterpart to his Brian Atwood collection with the B Brian Atwood collection set to hit stores this Fall.  The shoes will retail for $350-995, which is still a bit steep for myself but on sale, I’m guessing that the new collection will be within reach.

Brian describes the girl who wears them as part uptown sophisticated, part Paris chic, and a sizeable dose of downtown cool  - his legendary detailing, stunning textures, fringe, and "a little bit of disco" will become hallmarks of the new collection.  B Brian Atwood is contemporary footwear inspired by the globe trotting fashionista; the style icon in the making; the ultra chic editor traversing the globe; the sultry girl with long legs and indelible style.

My personal faves are the peep toe metallic shoetie, the harness boots and the fringe booties. I am crossing my fingers that they will be making size 5. The collection is currently available for pre-order on Saks while the official launch party will be on September 14, 2011 from 6-8pm.

Pssssst! Did you guess the answer to the riddle from my earlier post? 

Q: What do you call a doctor who is always late?

A: Jeffrey campbell TARDY DOCS .... I think that will be the last time I try to make a riddle on the blog :) 

Robert and I had a few errands to run over the weekend. To get us started, we had brunch at The Attic in Fremantle. I loooove the atmosphere of this place and they have good quality food (I hear the word "organic" thrown around a lot whenever I stop by). After changing my Aussie dollars to euros and pounds (!!), buying mini toiletries (!!!) and purchasing different power adapters (!!!!), I started getting a wee bit excited to see mahaila in Berlin. As I wandered through Fremantle in my red JC platform docs, people stared at my feet.... all I could think was "I wonder if people in Berlin are going to shamelessly stare at my footwear as much as people in Perth?" I guess I will just have to wait and see (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
