It or Miss: Kate Bosworth in the same red booties

We love it when a celebrity wears the same piece all the time! Our friend's over at People StyleWatch were nice enough to capture pics of Kate Bosworth wearing, what looks to be, her favorite pair of red buckle Chloe ankle booties and a fav pair of light wash skinny jeans.

Stylish Clogs, you will want them!

Thank Chanel for your clog dancing beats! Don't say we didn't warn you. We've been spotting clogs and clog boots with street style cred for a few seasons. We've been stocking up our Cool Clogs Shop, when whenever we see a wood-soled wonder that looks right. And now it's official- Chanel showed clogs on the spring 10 runway and they have morphed into a must-have trend for fashonistas and the comfort-seeking alike. Visit our Cool Clogs Shopping Guide ??But we did tell you... Clogs have got to be one of those styles that should be the dictionary picture of anti-cool, anti-fashion, bedraggled mommy, utilitarian nurse, cook, or server footwear of choice.

Well, reality doesn’t always play as well as Ralph Lauren’s stylized vision of the Wild West when it comes to fashion. I should know about authentic western fashion

Wide Calf Boot Tips… How to zipper or stretch boots over wide calves I just bought this great pair of knee high wide calf boots, but I can't get the zipper to close over my calves. Is there any way to stretch them? Someone said Star Jones talked about a boot stretching device on The View. Please help I love these boots!
