My favorite part of summer in high school was always back to school shopping. Vacations were fun, but shopping was where it was at. One year I actually thought to ask my parents if instead of taking me with them on the family trip to the Bahamas, if they would give me the money that they would’ve spent on me so that I could go shopping (I wasn’t lying about that addiction)…but me and my parents think a little differently, so I decided it wasn’t the best idea. I’m still always excited to see what new trends will be taking over to encompass that fresh Fall look. To tell you the truth, I’m not a super trendy person, I usually just wear what I like; but there are always a few trends that catch my eye; and it’s cool to see how different designers/stores incorporate trends in their lines. One of my favorite trends of Fall 2010 is masculine shoes. Last year at this time I was all about finding the perfect riding boot (which I did, thanks to Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale!) This year I’m dying for some rough, combat style- lace up boots. Yeah boys, you aren't the only ones who can pull them off, we rock them hard...and look hotter in them too. Pair these with printed leggings, a graphic tee, and a leather jacket and you'll be stylin. Next time you're in H&M pick up a pair of their acid washed "treggings" ($20). They're a little thicker than leggings and they're soo comfy; perfect for Fall weather and great to wear with these boots. The other masculine shoe that we're trading our heels in for this fall (rewind, did I say trading? never that ... more like adding to the collection) are oxfords! I personally would wear these with a cuffed boyfriend jean (like the ones shown above...try Gap's boyfriend jeans ($69.50)) and a blazer with structured shoulders or maybe with a pair of high waisted floral printed shorts with a button up. Oxfords are perfect for toning down a girly outfit. So, now that we can clearly wear guys' shoes better than they can (not surprised), what should they resort to wearing? Before you know it we'll be seeing them in heels; just kidding ... I hope.
