Hot Trends - Classic Inspiration. Ankle Boots

Jody Watley. Vintage Kitten Heel Ankle Boots 1987

Ankle boots have been around off and on since the 80's. Today's modern looks offer a range of options from various luxury designer brands (Jimmy Choo. Christian Louboutin, Brian Atwood, etc.) to more affordable brands (Nine West, Steve Madden, etc).
Dress them up or down - funky, chic or something in between.

I'd rock any of the pieces from the Balmain Spring/Summer 2011 Collection even though I'm not a size 0. I've always appreciated a bit of badass punk rock chic. Hot, Hot, Hot!


80's classic Punk / Rock influences with a modern twist - yes please.

Step Out In Style: Christian Louboutin and John Varvatos

I can't get enough of the Christian Louboutin Studded Engine Spiked Heel. Perhaps it's the modernized hint of the 80's punk aesthetic that appeals to me. I'd wear these with a classic black dress or would funk them up with jeans or leggings. I adore that there's also a men's version of the shoe.

Designer John Varvatos beautifully uses the Pro Leather Hi silhouette for his Converse exclusive. The design is a classy option for men who desire a less casual sneaker.
