Fab Body Guide: Stylish Boots For All Calves

I have a boot problem: I've discovered that my calves are too slim to fill out the top of some boots.

I have a boot problem: I've discovered that my calves are too slim to fill out the top of some boots. Yes, there are worse things in life, but when endlessly searching for a stylish pair, it can be disheartening, not to mention unflattering.

Many girls have the opposite problem, where their calves are too large for boots. No matter your dilemma, Buckles and Bows, the leading experts in wide- and slim-calf boots, can take care of it. All their boots, like this Pout Black Leather Boot ($200), come in calf sizes one through five. If you're my boat, er yacht, find out what calf size you are and start customizing your next pair!

Celebrity Style: Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus is growing up fast, and her ensemble on New Year's Eve in NYC reflects it.

Miley Cyrus is growing up fast, and her ensemble on New Year's Eve in NYC reflects it. Billy Ray's daughter shielded herself from the cold in a chic winter white coat with oversized black buttons, a knit cap, black gloves, and black suede boots. My only complaint is that her hat and coat are slightly matchy matchy; to fix, I gave her a plaid one. Keep up the Fab work, Miley!

The Hills Girls Love Treesje Bags! We all know that Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge have enviable style — and we can’t stop drooling over their glossy Treesje bags. Lauren totes her black patent Asher Grande, $680, from coast to coast while traveling, and switches to the smaller black patent Metro Clutch, $340, for nights out on the town (we’ve spotted Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa Minnillo with the same style!)
