GUYS. I’ve been desperately searching for a new pair of shoes to add to my current flats-focused collection. Yes, flats: your girl walks, I can’t do heels all day. Enter The Office of Angela Scott, where I was introduced to one Mr. Smith, the oxford of my dreams. I immediately swiped right. His qualifications are solid: A subtle navy and black stripe? Check. (you know black and navy makes me feel French) Cool details like...
