Loafers are a must. I purchased some classic brown Cole Haan loafers last year and they have been a staple to my wardrobe. These are a great buy for the quality as well, may have to check out the black ones!
Brooks Brothers Calfskin Ballet Loafers, $119
J Crew Schoolboy Blazer. Such a great staple. I really adore the Caramel color but the blue is amazing as well. I have been wanting a camel colored blazer for some time now and this season is the time to bite the bullet and make a purchase but I am still looking for a possible vintage version for a cheaper price with more character.
I also am in desperate need of a new pair of black booties to transitions into winter with. I am not a fan of super high heels or platforms so I have scoped out this new Sam Edelman style that may just be what I am looking for. With a 3.25 inch heel they are alot more manageable than most of the suede booties out there.
