Here we are on our way to a dinner party by Joel's Pool Pavillion. Eric is wearing a red Moncler Polo shirt with white Uniqlo jeans and black John Varvatos sandals. I'm in a black American Apparel v-neck t-shirt, white Uniqlo jeans, Prada brown belt and my new Leopard print Tod's driving mocs.

No, that's not me in the first picture. I really did not go to Tod's on Madison Avenue thinking that I would actually buy anything. I have fantasized about a pair of driving mocs in purple suede, partially due to The Sartorialist: Purple Driving Mocs Are All The Rage, from last Summer here. But, I feared that they were too trendy or that I had missed the boat last year. Besides, the current purples in stock weren't quite right and I've never even tried on a pair of Tod's driving mocs before.

These Tod's Leopard print hair calf driving mocs did catch my eye at Jeffrey NY earlier in the season. I honestly didn't give them much thought at the time. But, since we are going to East Hampton this weekend, I thought they would be just the trick to punch up my white jeans. 65% off didn't hurt either and I got the last pair in my size. I know, sales make me crazy. Animal prints are classic, right?
