Velvet loafers have been popping up on a lot of fashion blogs lately. At first, I wasn’t interested, but they’re growing on me. Maybe I’ll buy a pair for casual autumn days, an alternative to ballet flats.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
I desperately wanted a pair last year andfor some reason it was SOOOO hard to get my hands on one that I liked. This year they are suddenly everywhere. Isn't it funny that when you desperately want something, you can't find it anywhere and as soon as you are over it there is no shortage of suitable alternatives.
Speaking of the Anniversary Sale – I just bought these: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-chaufur-flat/3326508?origin=keywordsearch&fashionColor=&resultback=800
Another great velvet loafer option!
I have liiiived in velvet loafers for the past two autumns. They look great with skirts and tights, jeans with no socks or thin black socks, or black pants. Classy flats!
This one is in between the staffer and intern price points and another great option.

I also felt very “eh” about velvet loafer but the more I see them the more I feel the need to purchase a pair for fall. I think I'll be picking up a pair at the Nordstrom sale this weekend.
Ok, I happened upon an absoloutely PRISTINE pair of Italian burgundy velvet loafers, not a single scratch on the sole (these babies were never worn outside)…for the princely sum of $4. Snapped them up since I saw them on your blog, but now I need ideas for outfits to wear with them!
