What goes around comes around...

and the explosion of the 90's combat boots are back!

It is truly fascinating in terms of fashion history that Dr.Martens has been around since the 1960's and they've come in and out of style over the years. Gladly to say for Fall 2011 they are back!! This is a great way for self expression through a infatuation of shoes. It feeds off  a punk and hip style. 
 








Dr. Martens has also collaborated with Hello Kitty for their 50th anniversary. (one of my personal favorites that I am excitingly waiting for) 
On  Dr.Martens website they describe the history of how these trendy combat boots were predominately worn by the punk or skinhead culture in England during the 1960's. He is truly a symbol of freedom. The history is really unique and striking, relating to the brand to all kinds of cultural references and technology, bringing us back into TODAY and what self expression is all about. Make sure to check the website out and possibly get a pair yourself.

....Dr.K Vintage


If you haven't been hitting up U St. I suggest you do. Especially stop by Dr.K Vintage. He is awesome, goes on vintage hunts all over, and you never know the treats you will bump into in his boutique. Here are a few things that I found were impressive:

He has such a great collection for men      
                                     vintage shoes.                                         
 
Loved his art. Up above is a Audrey Hepburn.
Down below is a SwirlGirl piece

 Absolutely fell in love with their cheetah print leather loafers. 
 
 Feather leather fedora hat


 So I wanted this skateboard badly, then I had to remind myself I don't know how to skateboard!!! So if any of you are up to teach me? I'm down to learn :) 
 The fitting room
