Tod’s for Ferrari Loafers: Earn Your Racing Stripes

My Tod’s driving moccasins are wardrobe essentials, but as comfy and classic as loafers are, they can start to look pretty boring after a while.

Fashion can sometimes take a backseat in cold weather. Convenience becomes more of a luxury than style. In LA I love to slip on sandals, but even here it does get chilly and flip-flops make you look a little silly in the winter (even if the sun is shining!). It’s hard to find fun closed … Continue reading “Top 5 Flat Closed Toe Shoes: The Comfort is Secondary”
