A Touch of Edge

Winter is upon us and who doesn't love fall trends (since California only has 2 seasons). As the days get colder, clothes get darker. It seems as if the more rocker, dark look is coming back full force. It seems as though the staple items for the season are biker boots, red lipstick, and any type of over-sized top. 

Boots
Looking for something comfortable but sure to stand out? Shoes have always been a girls guilty pleasure but this time around, it might not be heels that are on our minds. The common trend in boots are studs, buckles, leather, and lace-ups. It seems as though we should throw in some whips and chains and we'll have ourselves a party. 



















This particular pair of Doc Martins have been decked out in studs but a few years ago, no fem girl would ever have dared to wear Doc Martins, you don't want to be mistaken for a "butch lesbian". Now girls are trying to get their hands on a pair that can range from black to hot pink.

Bainey boots from Aldo. I have a pair similar to these but not quite. All the studs and buckles really shows the edgy side to an outfit. 
Here are a pair of similar shoes but with a heel, which I love.


Here are a pair of similar shoes but with a heel, which I love. Melkonian, also from aldo. They aren't flat boots but you get the idea.


These pictures really don't do the shoes justice.


Red Lipstick
It has been seen on the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Gwen Stefani, Lucille Ball, Dita Von Tease, and even on Marilyn Manson. throw it on in the evening and it makes a girl feel feminine instantly.


Even though I am talking about the edgy look and Taylor Swift is far from it, in these pictures, she looks very mysterious and glamorous.

I realized there are way to many tops I can post about so I'll just have to dedicate a separate post for that.
