Hilary Duff Heads to Pilates Class in Chanel Brown Leather Tall Boots

Hilary Duff’s expensive, high-end, mostly designer style rarely excites me but I have to admit, the girl does know how to make her clothes work for more than one occasion.

She did it with her Rag & Bone denim leggings last week and she did it again with this Pilates outfit this week, accessorizing it with wayfarers, gold hoop earrings, a black summer scarf and Chanel brown leather boots to make it more than paparazzi-ready and picture-worthy:

IMHO, Hilary Duff could’ve done away with everything else because those beyond beautiful Chanel boots could carry the entire outfit!

Here’s a close-up of Hilary Duff’s Chanel boots:

They kind of look like the knee high version of Claudia Schiffer’s cognac-colored thigh Chanel boots, don’t you think? Except Hilary Duff’s boots don’t have a zipper opening anywhere and are just in a pull-on style. Makes you wonder how in the world Hilary Duff got these boots on but as you can probably judge from the close-up picture, the leather is so pliable, flexible and buttery soft you’d be tempted to try and spread it on toast.

Hilary Duff’s mix-and-match technique is going to take some time to master but you can get the look of her Chanel boots now for much less! Check out these 5 brown leather tall boots all found over at Endless with chunky stacked heels just like Hilary D.’s Chanels:

Claudia Schiffer may be a full time mom now but you can still see her supermodel-ness peeking out from time to time.

Like in these pictures for instance. Claudia Schiffer is only on her way to pick her kid from school here, but she felt that busting out her thigh high, high heel, cognac boots from Chanel for the daily routine was necessary:

Now I don’t know any regular full time mom who would do that!

Claudia Schiffer’s boots are from the Chanel Resort 2011 collection, which was worn by Georgia May Jagger (Mick Jagger’s daughter) in the fashion show:

These boots also came out in black suede and even in a beautiful golden yellow, but I’m with Claudia Schiffer in choosing the cognac color for herself.

Get the look of these Chanel boots without having to pay Chanel prices! Here are 5 chunky heeled thigh high boots in beautiful brown colors to try. Starting at just $56.92! :

New Cutout Boots: BOSS Hugo Boss Savanah Brings the Knee High Gladiators Back

Erika — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:09:35 +0000

I went off to check out some new boot arrivals at Zappos.com and this is what first greeted me right at the top of the first page:

These are the Savanah 10125534 01 Boots from BOSS Hugo Boss, freshest of the freshest picks from the new boot arrivals. They’re a knee-high boot with a sandal sole (Sandboot? Bootandal?) accented by multiple circular cutouts.

They kind remind me of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s much talked about Chanel and Azzedine Alaia gladiator sandals, which they wore everywhere back in 2007:

Now Hugo Boss is bringing them knee highs back.

I initially thought that you would have to put these Savanah boots on from the top, but the designers at Hugo Boss wisely put a zipper at the back to make them easier to slip on and off. That’s a relief because these boots have at least 3 cutouts – not to mention 3 more circle details – to accidentally put your foot through.

At a $554.00 price point, the BOSS Hugo Boss Savanahs are no impulse buy. Before anyone would plunk down a pretty penny for these, they would have had thought long and hard about how, where, and what to wear with these boots. Despite the flat heel, the muted ebony color, and the minimal embellishments, I consider wearing these boots a risqué choice.

Tapestry Boots at the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 Shanghai Fashion Show

Erika — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:13:25 +0000

Did you know that Mademoiselle Chanel’s inspiration for the design of her bags was Chinese quilting? Coco Chanel’s now world-famous purses are all rooted in the French fashion designer’s love for Chinoiserie, Chinese art, and Chinese imagery.

So it was very fitting that Karl Lagerfeld chose Shanghai as the backdrop for the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 collection. Actually, the city was not just in the background but its ultra-modern skyline, bustling roads, and metropolitan nightscape all played integral roles in achieving the overall visual and aural effect of the entire fashion show. In short, Shanghai was the center stage:

The collection of course included Chinese-inspired looks such as spins on the traditional cheongsam, thigh-high side slits, rich silks, and shaggy furs, all combined with Chanel’s trademark tweed and skirt suits. The color palette mostly consisted of dark grays and blacks – to match with Shanghai – with shocks of red, yellow, and gold in parts and places.

Color mostly came from the equally luxurious details that accompanied the garments. Get a load of the accessories, particularly these Mongolian-style tapestry and fabric boots:

With fabric boots like these from Chanel, shoes will be the focal point and will be the whole point of an outfit.

I wonder which celebrity will be the first to wear these boots?

If Karl declares Mongolian tapestry to be the next big thing in fall 2010 footwear, then these fabric boots – all available now - are already ahead of the trend curve:
