Celebrity Fashion Trends in Women's Boots

So unless you haven't left your house or dorm room since late September, the chances are pretty good that you've noticed that a number of boot trends are in full swing in preparation for the winter season. Fashion is finicky and trends are forever changing. Here's a look at three of the trends in boots you should keep an eye on. Top designers must have been watching old westerns when working this trend into their designs for Fashion Week. This trend is back in full swing, updated with chunky heels and more buckles than any cowboy would find necessary. Frye is always a great brand to look at when looking for premium boots, and they have a great selection of cowboy styles. If you'd rather not spend as much on a trend that might not be here next fall, try Steve Madden for quality boots at a lower price point. Since you're not a cowboy who uses a horse for transportation, you can sport your boots with jeans for a good old western look, leggings, or a cute skirt. Even if you have great legs, it's probably not advisable to show them off with your new boots and a pair of daisy duke shorts, a la Jessica Simpson, as we move into the winter months. That look might just attract a bit too much attention. Perhaps the most daring trend in fashion so far this year, over the knee boots are perhaps a bit too dramatic for the taste of most women not directly involved in the fashion industry. Even without heels, these boots are attention grabbing, sexy, and one hundred percent fashion-forward. They can be worn, well, however you wish to wear them: with mini skirts, over your favorite pair of skinny jeans, with shorts, or over leggings. For leggy women with the self-confidence to rock these boots, the effect can be quite stunning, especially when the boots feature heels as well. For shorter women, this is one trend you might wish to steer clear of. Love them or hate them, Uggs probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They might be looked back on as one of the great fashion mishaps of the 2000s, but for now they're here to stay. Stay and keep your legs and feet warm throughout the bitter cold winter months. If you live in an area that is frequented by snow, these boots are always a great addition to your winter wardrobe, no matter how ugly you find them. If you have old Uggs that need a bit more fur, check out the Ugg website for the insole replacements that will keep your old boots just as warm as ever. If you're an Ugg fan on the market for a new pair, try a pair of the sweater Uggs that are popular on college campuses right now. If you really just can not bring yourself to purchase a pair of traditional Uggs, try one of the newer styles. The "Highkoo" and the "Kensington" really don't look much like Uggs at all despite their warmth. The "Knightsbridge" gives you a slightly more streamlined look than the traditional Uggs as well. All in all, boots are a must have for this seasons fashionable women, no matter if you live in frosty New York, or Sunny L.A. these are a fashion must have.

Why So Much Emphasis Is Placed On Celebrity Fashion

Everyone has their own favorite television and movie stars that they keep up with on a regular basis. I know when I was a kid growing up Arnold Schwarzenegger was like an idol to me and I would often wonder what he was doing at the same time I was and I would often wonder would it would be like to be him. It seems like everyone is interested in knowing what the latest news is on certain celebrities, such as who they are dating and what are the latest fashions they are wearing. One need only look at the media hype surrounding Paris Hilton anytime she is involved in anything to know what I mean. Some people have to know everything that is going on with her, others could care less. Celebrities and fashion designers are cashing in on this phenomenon by collaborating to design clothing lines endorsed by the celebrity. There are many people who like to dress like their favorite celebrity, girls in particular. How many girls did you see dressing like Britney Spears at her peak? Most celebrities can't even get out of their driveway without being surrounded by fans and paparazzi. This makes it difficult to have a normal life, indeed many wish they could trade their celebrity for a normal life while many regular everyday people think that they would rather have the life of a star being showered with attention. It is this type of person that usually thinks that dressing like their favorite star will help them get attention. Famous people in most cases realize the influence they have on many things including fashion and are taking steps to take advantage of it. Most top stars are well known for their fashion choices and the award shows are a big showcase for the latest in style and fashion in the world. You don't have to look far to find a celeb being interviewed and told how trendy and fashionable they are. Since the average individual isn't normally complimented in this way they tend to think that if they adopt the style of the star they love they will be complimented as well. Some think that being so obsessed with the fashion choices of the stars is not healthy and that it may indicate some kind of condition such as low self esteem. While this may be the cases some of the time I don't think it is for the majority of people. I think that most people want to be admired and complimented. Like anything of course it can be carried too far. The rich and famous have virtually unlimited resources to buy whatever they want, the average person does not. If one is so obsessed with fashion that they do themselves financial harm to stay in the latest styles this is not healthy.
