Trendspotting: Patterned Woven Blanket and Distressed Leather Boots

Erika — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:01:10 +0000

Those Cobra Society Otto boots we spotted on Jessica Alba in October has sparked a trend in boots in a major way. We knew that those Cobra Societys were going to be “It” boots. The fact that they already had a knockoff just about a month after their release shows just how hot and in demand they are!

Steve Madden was first to come out with a low-cost version of the Cobra Society Otto boots, this ‘Tolteca’ boot with higher stacked heel, an added buckled harness strap and a slouched-down style:

Now we’re seeing distressed leather boots with patterned woven blanket inserts all over the place. Freebird by Steven recently came out with this ‘Caballero’ boot that comes closest to the look of the original Cobra Society Otto boots:

Freebird by Steven Caballero boots, $328.00 at Free People

But not all woven blanket and leather boots out there are trying to copy the Cobra Societys. Frye only used their old ‘Shirley’ boot style for this newest trend but the effect is totally new and fresh while still retaining its vintage appeal:

We also spotted the trend on this Bed Stu ‘Hacienda’ boot. Instead of a cowboy boot, Bed Stu used a lace-up boot and also used the woven blanket fabric panels on other places other than the shaft:

Expect to see more of this patterned woven blanket + distressed leather trend on boots for this spring 2012!

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

Erika — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 07:08:46 +0000

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:

Hilary Duff makes her way to her car to go to a Pilates class in Toluca Lake, CA on August 17, 2011

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:

Seychelles Incognito back lace-up knee high boot, $130.28 (was $189.95)
Fossil Rebecca buckled strap knee high boot, $168.00
Restricted Flirt stacked heel knee high boot, $159.95
Guess Pozina etched logo knee high boot, $199.00
Frye Miranda back zip boot, $297.95

Nina Dobrev at LAX Post-2011 Teen Choice Awards in Frye Harness 8R Boots

Erika — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 07:17:19 +0000

After picking up a handful of awards for “Vampire Diaries” at last Sunday’s 2011 Teen Choice Awards, Nina Dobrev (accompanied by boyfriend and co-star Ian Somerhalder) was seen catching a flight out of LAX airport the very next day.

Nina herself won the awards for Choice TV Actress and Choice TV: Female Scene Stealer.

Here are pictures of Nina Dobrev making her way through LAX sans her surfboard trophies from yesterday:

I’ve always wondered what they did with those surfboards. Do the winners get a mini version of it or do they get to keep them as is? And if they do keep them as is, what do they do with them especially if they get like seven of them like Taylor Swift?

I’d personally like to see one/borrow one myself just to see if they really are usable out in the water!

I’m getting off topic here so let’s get back on track with this close-up of Nina Dobrev’s cool-lookin’ boots:

Harness strap, looped side pull tabs, square toe, distressed leather — Nina Dobrev’s boots are unmistakably these Frye Harness 8R boots:

Colors, tones and textures vary between each Frye boot depending on the leather used in making them. You can check out the different color variations of this Frye boot at Zappos and Amazon. Zappos has them listed between $171.00 to $298.00 while Amazon has them between $147.84 to $228.00.

Don’t forget about our favorite look-for-less alternative to these Frye Harness boots, the Gabriella Rocha Harness boots which are 50% off at 6pm right now!

Gabriella Rocha Harness boots

When we first saw these Gabriella Rocha Harness boots back in January, we were blown away by how much they look like one of our all-time favorite boots, the Frye Harness 12R.

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:

Claudia Schiffer out on a school run in West London in England on February 17, 2011

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:

Georgia May Jagger and Sébastien Jondeau

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! :

Dollhouse Talana Knee-High Boot, $56.92

Frye Harness Boots Vs. Gabriella Rocha Harness Boots

Erika — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 06:06:00 +0000

Just by looking at these two pictures, can you tell which are the $218 Frye Harness Boots and which are the $99 Gabriella Rocha Harness Boots?

No scrolling all the way down or hovering on the pictures or clicking on the links!

BOOT 1
VS.

BOOT 2

So between boot 1 and boot 2, which do you think are the Fryes and which do you think are the less expensive ones from Gabriella Rocha?

If you got it right, congratulations, and if you didn’t (you can go ahead and click on the links now), well, there’s no need to worry. We’ve been covering all sorts of boots here on Boots 4 You for almost two years now and we still hard a hard time distinguishing between the two. Gabriella Rocha’s harness boots is also such a dead-on copy of the Frye Harness boots that I had to keep going between browser tabs to make sure that I was linking to the right pair while writing this post.

Gabriella Rocha Harness Boots, $99.00

If you’ve been jonesing hard for a pair of your own Frye boots but find dropping over a couple hundred dollars for it even harder, the Gabriella Rocha Harness Boots should be a really good alternative for you. They’re less than half the price of Frye boots but they’ve got nearly the exact same measurements and made of real leather all the same.

Frye Harness 12R Boots, $218.00

But of course, nothing beats the real thing. Frye boots may be more expensive but their beautiful fit, maximum support and timeless style are irreplaceable.

One good thing about classic Frye boots is that even if you lust after them for so long, you can be be 99% sure that that style will be around for years. So you can put off buying them for as long as you want and take your time saving up for them. Then when you finally purchase your own pair, they’re guaranteed to last you a lifetime.

Both of these boots may be purchased through Zappos.com.

Frye and UGG Australia ON SALE at 6pm.com!

Erika — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 07:07:11 +0000

The Zappos sister website and online discount store 6pm.com just served us a double whammy (but in a good way):

They’ve put both Frye and UGG Australia, two of the bestselling shoe brands anywhere, ON SALE at the same time!

Actually, this just might be real negative definition of a double whammy because now it presents us a dilemma. On which brand are we going to spend our money and which one is a better deal?

Frye has the bigger discount at up to 70% off but UGG Australia isn’t that far off with a 65% price slash.

Maybe it’s best if we shop both brands? Take a look at this selection of what’s up for grabs in this double sale and decide for yourself:

UGG boots on sale at 6pm

Clockwise from top left: UGG Classic Tall Stripe Cable Knit in Ultramarine/Cream, $70.00 (was $140.00); UGG Delaine, $96.00 (was $160.00); UGG Classic Tall Stripe Cable Knit in Dusty Wysteria/Seashell Rose, $70.00 (was $140.00); UGG Classic Cardy, $70.00 (was $140.00)

Frye boots on sale at 6pm

Clockwise from top left: Frye Missy Tall Cuff, $174.00 (was $348.00); Frye Sarah Over-The-Knee Inside Zip, $190.72 (was $458.00); Frye Harness 12R SFG, $110.00 (was $218.00); Frye Veronica Slouch, $131.20 (was $328.00)

Frye and UGG Australia are two brands that are hardly ever on sale so this seemingly ordinary deal at 6pm is very much worth blogging about. Even then, not all of the popular styles are included in this sale. But if you’re the type to not go for the usual designs, then this is a sale you should be looking at. Because how often do you come across original and authentic Frye and UGG boots that are just around $100 and under?

Shop NOW and don’t miss out at 6pm.com.

Blake Lively Christmas Tree Shopping in Coach Weslyn Boots

Erika — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 06:13:25 +0000

Blake Lively was a total cutie while out Christmas tree shopping last Tuesday. She also looked like she was seriously contemplating her purchase as the camera caught several pictures of her looking very deep in thought:

Blake Lively shops for a Christmas tree from a sidewalk vendor in New York’s Upper West Side on December 14, 2010

We can’t blame Blake Lively for really thinking about this purchase – picking just the perfect tree for Christmas is a very crucial decision to make!

Blake Lively may look all serious in these photos but her outfit is anything but. Her colorful Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Blanket Sweater is made even more fun by a cute quilted Chanel bag and a chunky stone necklace, all topped off with this really gorgeous pair of harness boots:

Blake Lively’s boots are the Coach Weslyn Boots. If you’re a Gossip Girl fan (or watched a few of the early episodes at least), you’d know that she has worn these on the show before:

Blake Lively wears Coach Weslyn boots for the “School Lies” episode of Gossip Girl which aired in January 2008

These boots were one of the first articles of clothing worn on the show that really got people talking and taking notice of Gossip Girl fashion. And for some reason, Coach didn’t remanufacture the Weslyn Boots despite the huge demand for them.

Anyway, that’s too bad for them because they could’ve made some serious money off of those boots! Thankfully, the design isn’t really all that complicated and we found this great alternative from Frye:

Frye Paige Loop Pull On Boots

Nice find eh? And they’re from a reputable boot brand too. You can get these Frye Paige Loop Pull On Boots for $318.40 at Zappos.com.

Shoes.com also has the Frye Paige Loop Pull On Boots in black and if you purchase them by December 21st, you can get them at 20% off! Find out more about this deal over at our sister site Your Next Shoes, which has a great feature on two special Shoes.com coupon codes you can use for the holidays and beyond.
