olivia_bootsEveryone has their opinions on which trends should and shouldn’t exist (the re-surfacing of clogs for spring/summer ‘10 is already causing commotion) but this year it feels like ankle boots are taking the brunt of the “faux-pas” storm. From fringed to buckled, 2009’s seen them all so after reading this quote from The Wall Street Journal, I was nothing if really shocked that despite they’re omnipresence, the debate’s still raging.

Olivia Palermo (left) is wearing a fringed pair (presumably Balmain or possibly Topshop, which she’s known to love) and I don’t know about you but my fashion-forward eyes tell me she’s ranking pretty high on the stylish scale.

So what’s the big objection to ankle boots? I think most girls in this office will tell you they’re a stylish “winter” alternative to full-on boots and paired with a skirt, I think they look P.D.G (pretty damn good).

Care to provide us with some insight on this one? ‘Cause I I’d love to hear it and there’s nothing like a fashion debate to call it a weekend!
