Biker Boots

Wren Top and Necklace, F21 Watch, Zara Skirt, Gryson Bag, Vintage Boots

I have a decent collection of black boots, but most of them hit my knee or stop at my ankles, nothing in between.  When I first saw these Proenza Schouler Motorcycle Boots, I knew I had to find something similar to toughen up otherwise delicate outfits.  My flea market luck continued this week when I found these vintage look-a-likes at the Rose Bowl (for $45) that are the perfectly balanced boot amidst my many other tall and short options.

2 anonymous { 11.09.09 at 1:41 am }

your outfit is pretty but your boots are an awkward length

3 Chloe { 11.09.09 at 1:54 am }

Love this- you manage to make something so rough & tough still look so feminine and pretty. Those boots are a fabulous find!

4 hannahlizabeth { 11.09.09 at 2:16 am }

21 Summer { 11.09.09 at 8:11 am }

I really didn’t think I needed yet another pair of boots, but now? I need these. I’m dying over the mid calf length in a totally good way!!!

22 Chris Brown { 11.09.09 at 8:23 am }

Soft & hard, sweet & tough, leather & lace…always cool combos. Nice look. Peace.

23 Lívia Carine { 11.09.09 at 8:23 am }

I’m discovered your blog and loved it! I see all your history, I’m on page 70! I love everything you have on your blog, the tips of food, walking, flea market, clothes, everything! A penalty is to find things similar to what you propose, in Brazil, is difficult.

Congratulations on the look of today, is also beautiful!
I love this blog and apparently I still have much history to read. But anyway is a very cool virtual tour. Thank you! Cheers

24 kate { 11.09.09 at 8:36 am }

Glad you finally found a pair ; )

The best part is they get better looking the more they break in.

You already know I’m a motorcycle boot lover.

lovely outfit

49 Nicole { 11.09.09 at 1:03 pm }

I never thought motorcycle boots could be pretty, not at all, until now. You always make simple/normal things shine and be pretty :) btw I’ve never been to a flea market and because I see all the things you find there I really want to go to one, soooon.

50 The Lil Bee { 11.09.09 at 1:04 pm }

SO cute, Em, and I love how you accessorized with that Wren necklace.

51 CT { 11.09.09 at 1:56 pm }

I LOVE that watch! Was that a vintage find too?

52 All Women Stalker { 11.09.09 at 2:10 pm }

You look great. I would get weird looks if I attempt that look in my city. Haha

53 My New Favourite Thing { 11.09.09 at 2:46 pm }

Great boots - they look almost identical to Miu Miu’s! Love that you’ve rocked them with a body-con mini - fab look.

I collect vintage cowboy boots that I wear often. Between those boots and my Frye boots, that’s about almost all I wear once it gets cooler in Texas. Now I’ll have to add some vintage motorcycle boots to my list of things to look for! Love the look!

61 Dog-Eared { 11.09.09 at 9:30 pm }

mm, i love my frye boots so much. i seriously lived in them last winter..

62 Anna { 11.09.09 at 9:35 pm }
