Runway to Reality: Five Ounce Flounce



There seems to be an endless amount of ruffles spilling over every runway around. As shown in the Christian Lacroix creation above, the ruffled mini skirt has become a designer favorite - a source of endless versatility and fun, despite the fabric deficit involved.

To achieve this runway look, your wallet would have to run thicker than the ruffles you're paying for, but designer Corey Lynn Calter offers this flirt of a skirt in her Whitney mini at the much reduced price of $172.

Staff Pick: Wild Goes West

Old Gringo caters to your exotic side with the Leopardito boot, fashioned with a leopard pattern distressed leather upper and outfitted on an aged leather sole. A perfect example of cowgirl chic, this beautifully constructed boot will have you high stepping in no time, and turning heads all the while.

UrbanMinx store manager Lindsey loves the Leopardito for its wild look, longevity, and unmatched comfort. With its soft leather lining, it slides right on and fits like a glove, without that nasty pinched toe or foot-bruising soles so often associated with the average western boot.
