FLATFOOT.

so some of you may know that i have an obsession with shoes, specifically heels. this is not an average four or five pairs, i am heavily invested in my shoe collection which is ever growing.
some examples-

geranium prada. spring2012

louboutin fall2008


louboutin pigalle 120mm. timeless.

balenciaga space shoes. fall2010.

givenchy. spring2010. lace magic.

so this is a bit of minutia shoe info regarding me. i love heels i love wearing them i love being seen in them i would sleep in them if someone were watching. however- because of a new job which i adore i need to expand my flat/ankle boot/ loafer repertoire. currently i own several inexpensive unsupportive no name flats which serve their purpose. i have some glorious bejeweled satin lace flats from my days at anthropologie, a pair of unimaginable vintage prada ankle boots bought for $7 at a detroit thrift store. the rest are either minnetonka moccasins which are great but not appropriate or cheap flats that only bide my time at work until they fall apart. 
my current obsession is loafers. like smoking old man loafers which brings me to my current look (coined not by me but a friend) 'grandpa chic'. yah i wear a lot of cardigans, super sweet ones i might add, but the smoking loafer addition is going to push it over the edge potentially. i am ok with that but have to watch my step because its a slippery slipper slope from grandpa chic to bitchy lesbian chic which is totally fine but not the look im going for. 
so lets talk loafers! here is my first acquisition which i am currently awaiting not so patiently in the mail-
hellraiser loafers by way of unif.

bad ass right? so excited. so lets do this! all flats in all forms i want to hear about faves and i will continue to update successes and failures.

  1. Dude, I don't know why but I can't get idea of getting a classic pair of Docs out of my head. Like, I've never owned a 'classic' pair before (I was always the weirdo kid growing up who bought, like, high heel oxford Doc Martens) sooooo, maybe it's time for me to address this void in my life? Also, I'm trying to embrace a 'fuck you' Alison Mosshart attitude, and I think a great pair of black Docs will reinforce the look.

    Talk me out of it.
