"High End" Boots

For those of you who like things that are unique and "high end" fashion, I heard about these great anniversary boots by Lucchese. Thought I'd share about them just for the fun of it!

For their 125th anniversary, Lucchese has made a Limited Edition boot to commemorate this occasion. They are crafted from American Belly Alligator, the boot sports matador construction with covered side seams, hand-laced scallops, and fully hand-tooled and hand-painted quarters. The torero-style pull straps are overlaid in alligator, with Lucchese's premier Grimini linings used on the inside. Only 125 of these boots will be made and they are priced at $12,500.00. Every pair is packaged in a matching numbered , hand tooled leather boot box.

Contemporary Western Style

Western is as American as you can get. It is the symbol of freedom, individuality and pioneering spirit. Western style was borne out of necessity. Furniture and fashions were created to fulfill a need. At a time when very few possessions could be carried in wagons or on horseback, pioneers made do with what they could find.

Today, Western Décor has a much more contemporary look, but many of the same types of materials are used to keep the unique look that is Western. Some of those materials are wood, such as pine or juniper, leather, antlers, stone. Indian designs were often integrated into western designs. Buckskin, hides, beadwork and fur were as essential then are they are now to western fashion.

Whether you actually live in the West or the West just lives in you, you can create that atmosphere of relaxed western lifestyle by incorporating western style into your décor. Pieces don't have to be "rustic" to reflect western style. Many modern furnishings and décor are a blend of modern sophistication and rugged traditional materials.

Take a look at some of the new contemporary styles in fashion and décor and find the style that most reflects who you are! There's a little bit of cowgirl in all of us!
