Gucci Peyton Texas Loafers

Gucci peyton loafers

Gucci metallic loafers

Alessandro Michele made me do it.

After selling the Gucci slides and the baby blues (still available) I was determined to find the shoe that fit me, a bit like Cinderella sort of.

After much snap chatting of the whole session at Bergdorf (karenbritchick), I finally settled on these mind altering loafers.  I say settled but there’s a photo of these exact shoes that’s lived on my desktop for about four months.  It’s a runway shot that I could not forget.   Like a smoker, occasionally I’d open it, get a fix then close it and go back to work.  To me they were my fave Gucci loafers with Alice in Wonderland’s consultation.

Seeing them in person was the confirmation.  They might as well as had a teeny tag attached that read: “Take me” like the “drink me” bottle that Alice could not resist.

    I’ve seen that “take me” tag wayy too often lately.
    Gorgeous loafers- obvious you could not resist.

    I’m surprised you didn’t get the Union Jack loafers! ?? I love the leather jacket with the florals and studs. And all the plaids!

      I saw those online but they are too obvious a choice for me to get. I love the collection though!

    Whoah you’re selling your blue fringed Gucci shoes?? Why? I saw some tonight – gold travelling on the tube to Brixton. I had to get her attention just to say I loved her shoes! I almost have the money now…but you know when you save up for ages and you need a push. They look soooo good!

    • Karen Blanchard says:

      Hi Caroline!

      I’m selling them because I wear the above loafer style more and would rather have the Marmont shoes (the blue ones) in a different color that goes with more of my wardrobe. I will be getting them in another shade soon fingers crossed! Oh wow you saw someone with the gold. How were they in action? I’ve tried them on in gold and thought they were stunning

      • Caroline Howden says:

        Hi Karen, they looked great! I couldn’t stop looking at them (a real Cinderella shoe!) – what colour are you thinking of buying them in? I would have thought the blue ‘cobalt’ was your colour 😉

        • Karen Blanchard says:

          Hi! The blue is my color but for suede i’d rather something darker. They are so pretty I can’t use them LOL! I’d rather get gold metallic! I tried them on recently and also a few weeks ago and omg are they good. I think they’d be perfect for Autumn and Winter!

          • Caroline Howden says:

            Yes! They would be perfect for Autumn and Winter – I just wondered? When you tried them on – does the metallic material look like it would flake off with use? Also…I saw these tonight at Oxford Circus: http://bit.ly/2bwl79r same same, but different! 😉

          • Karen Blanchard says:

            Yes I saw those Topshop ones on the website a couple of days ago. To be honest I prefer the Gucci crackled gold and the overall look of the shoe. I think if TS did a really good version of the Gucci gold then i’d be in trouble (or safe depending on how you see it) but the lookalikes I’ve seen so far don’t compare. I saw a woman once wearing the plain black Guccis with jeans and my God that was from afar but I KNEW it was them and she looked STUNNING. For me I won’t wear the golds all the time so I don’t worry about flaking. Plus I’m a tomboy at heart so it won’t bother me too much. I have Topshops metallic loafers and they scuff. The Gucci metallic flat loafers scuff too because a stranger I spoke to wearing them showed me on hers. So it’s more about the finish in general regardless of the brand? To answer your question there was no flaking off when I tried on the Gucci golds. What are you thinking of getting?

          • Caroline Howden says:

            I see OFFICE has their version too, which is a little closer. I liked the turquoise, pink or gold, but I think the gold will go with everything and for Winter/Christmas time – they’re just stunning. I think im venturing into Selfridges tomorrow (dangerous!) and try some on 😀
