Coffee Break: Hugh Loafer

The other day, I stumbled onto a rabbithole of people recommending these Pêche loafers as being amazingly comfortable for walking all day in cities like New York. The brand (Pêche) is new to me, so I was intrigued.
The loafers do look really great — and they're quite affordable. I've pictured the Hugh loafer; it comes in black and brown in sizes 35-41. Another bestseller is the Ronan loafer, with more of a square toe (that comes in black and cream). Lovely.

Does anyone else have a low-level headache all day after working out in the morning?
I usually work out in evening, but in the warmer weather I go for 3 mile walks a couple mornings a week. I’m left with an unshakeable headache. Maybe I’m just not hydrated enough in the morning and fail to catch up throughout the day? Any tips appreciated!
Down a gatorlyte or pedialyte as soon as you get home and drink through the day. Signed, trained for multiple marathons through the summer in SEUS.
You aren’t adequately replacing your electrolytes.
Beyond making sure you’re hydrated, check about allergies — when I run outdoors at different times of the day, sometimes my low-grade allergies present like a headache. So if you try hydrating and that doesn’t seem to work, see if popping a Claritin (or whathaveyou) helps.
How would you start a convo with your partner about mixing things up in bed? We rarely do and it’s vanilla.
Seductively
I’m a very unimaginative person who had few experiences before DH. It can get vanilla easily.
While we are in the midst of activities, DH will just suggest that we try someting new with specifics. And then he has to follow it with instructions: put your leg there, my leg goes here, etc. There’s never been a big conversation that we need to change things up. His approach works well with me.
My recommendation is to suggest something in the moment (unless it’s something that you’re not sure if they’d be into or which would require a discussion about consent). I think people tend to get defensive or insecure or encourage overthinking when a topic is presented as a “we need to have a convo” and it can block actually taking steps. Sometimes just doing it is easier and more likely to inspire future new and exciting things than talking about the things and feeling pressure to follow through on the things you talked about.
If there’s something you want, ask for it.
Just don’t have the convo while wearing these shoes. You do not want the most unsexy shoes on the planet associated with that topic.
Right?? I mean, to each their own but these loafers were frumpy back in the 1980s.
And I love cardigans, so I do not use the word frumpy lightly. Maybe if the shoes didn’t have the ripples/pleats around the toe…
This is timely! I’ve been looking at loafers. Has anyone bought women’s loafers from Meermin? Some of the suede colors look so dreamy.
long shot but where is the best place to stay at disney in FL?
