The thing that really captures my attention in this photo, aside from her casual cool demeanor, retro Ray-Ban sunglasses, and casually slung, chain bag, are those high-heeled loafers. I’m intrigued by them (and haven’t seen them around for ages). Perhaps this is a good sign that we’ll see more of this shoe in Fall 2011. Maria (above) styled her loafers to go with a menswear shirt and cuffed jeans, then added feminine details with a petite chain bag, long leaf and pearl necklace and an open neckline. It’s casually pulled-together in a way that is very accessible to all of us.

Juicy Couture ‘Fredo Lace-Up Heel’ $250
I have a tiny crush on these Juicy Couture loafers, because they take the classic and put a twist on it. If you’re wondering how to style them, these shoes work with jeans, wider 70′s silhouette pants, straight skirts and classic trousers. I know we’re a month or two away from even considering transitional dressing from summer-to-fall (trust me, I’m not wishing summer away – not even close), but these would make worthy candidate for your fall shopping list.
What do you think? Would you wear a high-heeled loafer?




I like the shoes, but I think they are deceiving. They look casual and comfortable, but the heels are sky high! You couldn’t wear them for long.
How about we wear them for 15 minutes and then order a glass of wine?! That sounds comfortable to me.

I posted bout them last year and then never picked up a pair for myself. Shame! http://www.bonbonrosegirls.com/2010/09/fall-fashion-trend-loafer-heel.html
