Trend Alert: Buckle Up

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Calling all avant-gardians: strap in and buckle up. Multi-buckle shoes are fit for the daring so wallflowers step aside. I can't deny my lust for these Balmain Uma Buckle Boots ($1,275). Don't you love the simultaneously strong and sexy vibe? If you're brave enough, step loud, step proud.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Buckle Up

No matter where you're going, buckle up and enjoy the walk. Buckles have sprouted all over the place on boots: on the front, in the center, on the sides. And they're not all created equal. You'll even notice some experimental boots with stacked buckles. Fab!

This Juicy Couture Jett Buckle Bootie ($448) is among the more posh styles on the market. The polished buckle makes this otherwise-plain boot more glamorous. Whether you're rugged, prim, modern, or old-fashioned, there's a buckle for you.

The Look For Less: Fendi Peep-Toe Pump

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

You know that signature Fendi buckle - it's recognizable from a mile away. It's found on the brand's bags, belts, and footwear, like this Fendi Peep-Toe Pump ($475). In some instances, such as on the Fendi B bag, it can be tacky, but when the buckle is small, it's so cute. Lucky for you Fendi lovers, I found an equally buckle-iscious alternative that's cheaper and way more comfortable!

I was perusing the shoe department on ShopStyle when I came across this Unisa Maryann Flat ($90). I was instantly reminded of Fendi's signature buckle. Do you see the correlation? It's a dainty sandal with a designer kick. If Spring has got you yearning for color like it has me, consider the other colors: brown, beige, and white.

Trend Alert: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

Buckles are having a brilliant moment in footwear. So we can't all afford Cate's Roger Vivier brocade-buckled pumps, but we can aspire to be as sophisticated and lovely as Cate the Great. As she exhibits - a great pair of buckles lends itself a perfect match to a smart LBD. The baby bump adds charm, but isn't a necessary accessory.

The Look For Less: Vivienne Westwood Buckled Pirate Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Fab reader Shahrzaad recently pointed out in our The Fashion Stylist group that everyone is wearing pirate boots these days. Right on. From Kate Moss to models on the streets, many are dipping their feet into Vivienne Westwood's Buckled Pirate Boots ($789). The look is not for everyone, but if you can pull it off, there's a less expensive version out there.

These Jeffrey Campbell Woodsuede Slouch Flats ($220) don't come that cheap, but they sure beat the Vivienne Westwood price tag. They are suede and have the same chunky buckles. The color is different, but no matter, the pirate motif is still present. If $220 for a pair of boots is still too steep, check out some other flat buckled boots for under $100.

Trend Alert: Multiple Buckle Belts

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:30:22 -0700

When did belts get so complex? Simple single buckle belts aren't copacetic for designers anymore. These multiple buckle belts are dynamic and make a statement all right. The statement being "Look at my womanly waist!" Not such a bad calling card if you ask me.

Celeb Style: Kate Moss

Miss Moss in fur - how Fab. Kate walked out of a London restaurant wearing one of her favorite fur chubbies. Underneath she kept it basic: black tank, black cardigan, and black jeans. But her scuffed-up tan buckle boots and fringe Genevieve Jones bag are not-so basic. Notice the tiny emerald earrings that dress her earlobes and her prominent cocktail ring.

The Look For Less: Isabel Marant Stud Buckle Boot

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Gush, double gush. I can't get enough of Isabel Marant's Fall '09 show. Each and every single look, down to the graduated cone footwear, is amazing. Speaking of footwear, how cool are the stud buckle boots Lily Donaldson is wearing? They're slightly trendy, yes, but subtle enough to wear for a while. Unfortunately, like every other Marant piece, they're out of my price range. Luckily, Jeffrey Campbell has come out with an identical pair without the killer price tag.

This Jeffrey Campbell Black Suede Boot ($165) is as close as any boot is going to get to the Isabel Marant version. It has the right studs, the buckle, the fold over detail, and a similar heel shape. Now all you need are Marant-inspired clothes and you're perfect.
