The Ultimate Accessory
I completely adore the re-emergence of Male Fashion. These days it's possible to be polished, and well put together, while still being 100% masculine. Needless to say, these Lanvin loafers give me life. Perfect && right on time for Fall . . .Seven grand isn't much money at all. . .;) Plus I always stress quality over quantity right ? Get You A Pair.
