In north america people are stuck in this eternal mission to be "in fashion". Sure season change, but style dosen't. Most fashion mags only follow the designers, and the designers follow their vision. Some have style and don't need to be told. Some follow the fads of season and waste money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-1168636176284041982007-01-12T13:09:00.000-08:002007-01-12T13:09:00.000-08:00I've been wearing flat boots like that since 2002 ...I've been wearing flat boots like that since 2002 when I bought them in Switzerland.

WHAAAA!<BR/><BR/><B>Karina</B> - I found that the brown boots look great over the knee cuz it techincally ends at mid-knee, so you still got a bit of knee action going (and anti-stumpiness). So far I've only worn the black boots over the knee once. I prefer the other two styles. And yes, get yourself a pair! <BR/><BR/>I'm shortish (5'5") and I shied away from flat boots because I thought it wouldn't help my cause. But because these are SO high (up the leg) and sleek they manage to still make you look lean. <BR/><BR/><B>Indy</B> - Yes, especially if it's a <I>Dirty Pirate Hooker</I> look (sigh, I love Anchorman).<BR/><BR/><B>Adjil</B> - Aw, thanks :) But anyone can be hip if they rip off the French ;)Wanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-1168474234233660552007-01-10T16:10:00.001-08:002007-01-10T16:10:00.001-08:00You are SO freakin hip!!!

But if you travel over to montreal you see these fashions everywhere. The Girls here take their trends directly from Europe and I always feel totally unstylish around them.
