Military Chic style has been seen on the runways since 2008. I would consider this trend even stronger than ever. We have seen military influence in jackets, cargo pants, gloves, hats, and of course boots! Military-inspired boots are a great investment for the season.

The style in itself is a bit masculine so I would suggest adding a feminine touch to the outfit such as a floral print blouse or skirt. Definitely try pairing your military style boots with a pretty dress. The perfect way to give this trend a modern touch.

The three big winners of the Costume Contest were Supafly (Brandon), the Kool-Aid Man (Max), and the First Place Winner, the Mad Hatter (Justin)!

And we can’t forget about April O’Neill and the Ninja Turtles!

This week’s Weird Shoe Wednesdays goes to Maria Blaisse, the avant-garde Dutch artist behind the wonderful boots above. These boots are part of Camper’s Camper Together series of collaborations with various artists, sculptors, and designers. Dazed & Confused magazine notes that Blaisse has been experimenting with spherical forms in design since the early ’80s, which must’ve had a lot to do with how these boots came out. They’re an odd pair of boots but I can imagine some women being able to pull it off really beautifully in an uber-cool slouch boot fashion.
