IMPORTANT THINGS: Penny Loafers

As an attempt to get back into the mind of a 'blogger', I've renovated a bit and erased any past 'mania' posts and will be posting spontaneous outbursts under the title "IMPORTANT THINGS".
Today's important thing: Penny loafers.
Penny loafers are very traditional and old school; the kind of thing Nancy Drew most likely wore. They're also probably categorized under 'grandma chic'. I recently realized that they are a very important piece to have in a wardrobe. They can top off any outfit by adding a little flair and class along with simplicity and minimalism. They pretty much go with everything and therefore, in my opinion are very important. They give the same overall appeal of wearing a pair of ballet flats but are much better. If you're like me and you prefer the simple, classic, and cool look, then you'll probably agree. Two references:



I was up at three in morning, combing through all store sites I could think up, looking for the perfect pair of penny loafers. I am absolutely smitten with them. Recently, I discovered a growing burden for me are my teeny tiny feet. I am only 5'2 (almost 5'3, okay) therefore I have small feet. Unfortunately, not all shoe manufacturers like to show love to us teeny tiny people and as a result, size 6 shoes are practically nonexistent and out of stock everywhere. I have found many of penny loafers that I myself can't order because of the lack of size 6 and it makes me very angry. I assume not all of you share the same burden and have normal sized feet so here are links to some top notch penny loafers I found and love:

#1. Cooperative Metal Penny Loafers from Urban Outfitters
These are my favorite that I've founded and I shed a hypothetical tear that I can't buy them. Curse my size 6 feet. I need them.










#2. Shellys London Tassel Platform Loafers from Urban Outfitters

These ones are also super great but are twice the price as the last. Ya can't always get what ya want...











Loafers are important.
If I've managed to convince you that penny loafers are important, ASOS and Urban Outfitters have tons of styles & colors. You should dig around and find your loafer soulmate.
I'm really sorry if you've just read this whole post and you too have small feet. I hope I didn't crush your dreams.

Hello, Again.

Hello, again. Anyone there?
For the past few months I've clearly fallen out of my blogging trend. It was intentional, I think. I would remember about it or be reminded by the end of a month but I was too lazy to post. As a result, you could say I completely lost interest in it. I still really enjoy the act of blogging & the concept of bloggers. I know that my passion is still somewhere inside me, it just got a little buried. I think I'm going to make this blog more candid and with more thought & substance. As much as I thought it over and seriously contemplated the idea of totally abandoning this site and allowing it to become a deserted sad place that once had passion and potential, I can not. I will not. I still love writing & sharing my favorite things. This should be interesing...
