Western Boots: Not Just for Cowboys Anymore!

It used to be that only cowboys and rodeo queens wore western style boots, but these days some designers are taking inspiration from the Wild West and creating boots that are based on the classic cowboy boot design-- with extra flair for fashionistas!

Nine West, for instance, has the simple but stylish Movenshake Boot ($129) in brown and black. These are basic western boots that can be paired with anything from jeans to bohemian style dresses. A pair of boots like this are a staple wardrobe item and will literally last you a lifetime of wear with proper care.

For a boot with a little more pizzazz, check out Stuart Weitzman’s Hillbilly ($450) which takes the traditional black cowboy boot and spices it up with a 2 ¾” heel, metal stud work, and a combination of smooth leather and a faux croc embossed leather. In Weitzman’s hands the boots become sexy and feminine without losing their authentic western appeal. These would look adorable with a pair of black leggings and a gold blouse. If you’re really feeling it, find yourself a black cowboy hat and really set the room abuzz.

Steve Madden makes an ankle western boot called Vestedd ($150), available in black or a laid back distressed brown leather. It’s a fun design that is easy enough to wear with practically everything. And for something extra special, consider the Frye Carson Boot ($350) in hand-finished, antiqued jade colored leather. These boots are the perfect blend between classic styling and trendy design. They belong as much with a silk dress as they do jeans.

Contrary to what you might think, western boots don’t necessarily need to be worn for rugged, outdoor activities. Hundreds of celebrities are spotted wearing these perennial favorites in every color and style imaginable. One of the hottest trends among young Hollywood elite is to wear the boots with a short dress. They have also been worn with leggings and of course, denim. Stars from Jessica Simpson to Mary Kate Olsen are rocking these looks.

Western boots are a favorite among both men and women, old and young. They can be simple and chic, or colorful and festive. Many people favor western style boots made out of exotic skins such as ostrich or alligator. In southern U.S. states, making boots is a time honored tradition, and there are some true artists, incorporating an enormous amount of skill in leather work to create one-of-a-kind boots for their clients. Regardless of your personal preference and your overall wardrobe aesthetic, there is sure to be a pair of western boots to suit you perfectly.

How to Choose: A Health Spa Day

If you ask a large group of women what their perfect day would entail, a huge majority of them will include spending time at a health spa as part of it.  And who can blame them?  A health spa day is about more than just a glowing complexion and reducing some wrinkles.  It is about rejuvenating the spirit and giving yourself a much needed break.

There are literally millions of health spas offering a wide range of services and day packages.  The spas themselves differ in their style and presentation.  Some are heavily influenced by eastern cultures incorporating treatments from India, Japan, and Indonesia.  Others focus on traditional American and European therapies.  One of the most important things to consider when you choose the location for your health spa day is whether or not it appeals to your sense of aesthetics; if you don’t feel relaxed and at home there, you won’t benefit as much from the treatments.

One of the best ways to pick a spa is to get [Read more]

Handbags With Heart

Handbags can be many things, including whimsical and artistic.  One of the most popular motifs in ladies fashion includes hearts.  They can represent femininity, love, romance, and a girlish optimism.

Take, for example, this Marc Jacobs Big Hearts Clutch:  a veritable elementary school art project in purple leather, inspired by the season’s hottest color. This larger than average clutch (11″x 6.5″x 2.5″) refuses to take itself seriously; and no one who carries this bag will be accused of such a thing, either.  Whether you love it or hate it, this bag is going to get a reaction.  Marc Jacobs has gained a reputation (good and bad) for the whimsical elements he often brings to his designs.  Traditional fashionistas may not appreciate his efforts, but the younger crowd is always looking for a way to stand out--and Jacobs’ bags are far from conventional.

Critics of this particular piece have said that it looks childish, or that it is impractical, but isn’t that the prerogative of high fashion?  There really is no end to structured black handbags or [Read more]

Gwen Stefani Boots – Shoes For Lovely People

In a fashion world that seems to always be thinking ever-forward, it is perhaps a great show of innovation to be willing to take inspiration from the distant past.  Retro styled boots can bring a whimsical touch to your wardrobe and give even your trendiest outfit a classic appeal.

A perfect example is Gwen Stefani’s Rosebury boot, available at Nordstrom.com for $520.  A Victorian inspired, stacked heeled boot with a patent leather toe cap and coordinating buttons, it looks as though it would be paired just as easily with skinny leg jeans as it would with a corseted ankle-length fashion from the 1800’s.  It can be worn with pants, dresses or skirts (long and short), and would be superb with a wool skirt and French cuffed white shirt, a smoky eye, and ruby red lips.

Unlike a lot of fashion lines [Read more]
