Downloaded a ton of fonts yesterday and now I've been making cheesy designs for my desktop picture.

A couple days ago, I came home to find a box on my bed. My shoes had come in! Since my leopard loafers (Madee from Steven by Steve Madden) have been such a great statement piece that has garnered me so many compliments, I decided to get a pair of loafers that weren't as bold so I would be able to wear them everyday. Since I wanted a basic pair that would match every day outfits, I looked for a pair of black or navy blue loafers. I originally purchased a cheap pair of $30 loafers from Urban to hold be down before investing in a good pair. However, a mere 2-3 months later, that pair had already lifted from the sole. So, I figured it was time to bite the bullet and find a good pair. It seems the Madee loafer was last season and Steve Madden stopped producing them. The closest I could find to a good, solid pair of basic loafers was this pair of Melters (also Steven by Steve Madden). I wanted to try to stick with the same brand since my leopard loafers were proven to be perfection. I originally wanted a plain pair of loafers, without any studs, but the studs on this pair add a nice edge to the shoes, without becoming too obtrusive like the studs and spikes on the Sam Edelman Adena (another pair I had been debating). Hopefully, this pair will hold up pretty well once college comes around.
