    Style: Loafer Love

    Via Gap You know you’re going through a procrastination crisis when you find yourself making a loafer collage just for kicks.

    Tote of the Week: Less Popular Nail Varnishes by Gemma Correll

    Via Gemma Correll  Hello there, how’s Friday (and February) treating you? All jazzed up to hit the town or curled up on the couch ready to put the week to rest?
