I’m in love with these Jean-Paul Gaultier Dr. Martens…the cutouts are amazing!  These beauties were seen in French Vogue, but have yet to hit stores (at least to my knowledge)…love them or hate them?

I usually don’t like wedge heals, but these dual colored boots are gorgeous! A total steal from $590.

Someone please explain the mechanics behind this phenomenon!

Forever 21 has come out with a pair of Fringe Open Toe Boots ($35) that are nearly identical to the Alexander Wang’s Alexis Boot. Check out the comparison after the jump.

Boots have always been in style. However, this fall will see a recreation of the simple boot. Slouchy and scrunchy boots have hit the runway. From Balenciaga to Givenchy, this trend is evident. It has a relaxed street chic element yet maintains a refined quality. These boots would pair perfectly with a dress or fall peacoat. If you want to make a statement, pick up a pair! 

Thanks to The Fashion Spot for the pics!  

I am quickly becoming obsessed with looking like a bum. Seriously, it’s like some weird fashion turn-on when I see people dressed in designers labels that look distressed or carrying an iconic handbag that’s been destroyed with wear.  I sense that “instant vintage” is becoming a newish trend and that more and more mainstream designers will pick up the look that indies like 3:33 Footwear have made a must have.

One spot that seems to feel in agreement to the trend is Hollywood Trading Company, a little shop out of California that has an amazing selection of vintage feeling work boots. Of course, if you can’t find a designer willing to destroy their goods for you, there’s always Beacons Closet or Buffalo Exchange, where you will find a great selection of pre-worn boots and footwear at rock bottom prices.
