Adventures in Extremes: Loafers, is it Prada at a fraction of the price?

Loafers are not for the sheer hose set any more! But then again, sheer hose has made a recent come back thanks to Kate Middleton.

The loafer, from high-heeled to flat, is fast becoming a wardrobe must-have as they hit upon a more refined look while being completely comfortable. And it’s hard not to become infatuated with this pair of Prada Classic Leopard Loafers.

Banana Republic Clones “the” Kate Middleton Reiss Dress

Adventures in (not very) extremes…

Remember the beige “Shola” Reiss dress that Kate Middleton wore to meet Michelle Obama? It’s “the” $340 dress that stalled the Reiss server?

So what if the sold-out style was from last season, they are classic, super cute, and very French Chic. Pair them with skinny jeans for a Parisian take on understated lady-like look or wear them with your
