Spring is finally in the air. Today the sun was shining and students were soaking up the rays on the grass in every spot of sunlight. On this day, I opted for one of my most favorite pieces: Leggings from H&M with a suede detail. These unique leggings can take any outfit to the next level. I have received countless compliments whenever I wear them.
I am also wearing Moschino vintage ankle boots, which are one of my most recent purchases. These leather boots were beautifully made in Italy, and I am in love with them! On top, I am wearing a basic white T-shirt with a vintage, light blue jean vest, I picked the vest up on the streets of Mexico in a tiny little vintage shop for only $1.50. It's super lightweight and simple, and I can pair it with almost any top on warm days.

Looks by Larissa: Winter Day
I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland, as my school’s campus was covered in snow. As the sun came out and glinted off of the white blanket of fresh snow, I decided to pick out a comfy, white knit sweater with a basic V-neck. Lately, I've found that I am drawn to knits with low or unusual neck lines, because they make even the most basic sweater interesting.
I picked this sweater up while vintage shopping. You can find some beautiful vintage sweaters if you are up for spending the time to look for them. I am rocking this H&M black circle scarf, because it was pretty chilly outside. I love finding different ways to experiment with this scarf. It is definitely a staple item in my closet. Again, I am rocking my awesome lace-up Dolce Vita boots. These shoes are easy to dress up or down, and they are surprisingly comfortable!

Snow Boots Built to Withstand Harsh Winters
Canadian brand Pajar is a cool Ugg alternative. Their men's and women's line of boots are made to withstand Canada's freezing temps and plentiful snow. Plus, you'll look pretty cute while doing so.
Grip, one of their most popular pairs, proves to be functional with a little bit of prep. Iceland serves as a great ankle boot for walking the dog in the leftover snow-slush. The anti-slip sole on both boots are critical for getting around in the wintertime.
Don't forget to check out their cute outerwear, as well!

Matt Bernson's Stylish, Walkable Heels
Matt Bernson's fall/winter collection is to die for. His designs are always chic, simple, and just a bit tomboy. Not to mention they're actually comfortable enough for some serious walking.
If you're looking for a non-UGG(ly) shearling boot, check out these boots and these other boots, too!. Both claim to be hard-working snow boots, and the non-skid soles are genius.
His flats have proven not to pinch at the heel. Or, as Mr. Bernson calls it, the "dreaded cobra bite."
The Mesa and Jardin boots are perfect for the workplace or date night. Pair them with skinny jeans or a cute skirt.
Can we just say give a huge thanks to Matt Bernson for making stylish shoes that women can actually walk in?

Get Booted Up For Fall
Fall just might be the best season for fashion. That statement is perhaps a little bold but, while summer is a season of half-nakedness and barely-there clothing, fall is a season of fabrics, textures, colors, and layering, and what better way to celebrate the season than treating yourself to a new pair of boots? Not only will you need them to survive in the snow and rain, but the right boots paired perfectly with dark denim and plaid button downs is essentially a must for the inevitable climate cool-down. Ideally, the top choice should be a rugged, casual boot that communicates your sense of style and also says you can hike the Patagonia at any minute. It's also wise to invest in dress boot to wear with tweed suits, as this combination of business and the outdoors is a great trend to follow this year.
So, put away the flip-flops and the retro Jordan’s and kick off fall fashion with these CHAOS-approved casual hiking/hunting boots and dress boots (after the jump!)

Ankle Boots: You MUST have the right legs for them!
For Christmas, I've been spending time in my home town. While here, I have noticed women trying to be trendy. I am so pleased to see that women in a small town KNOW about the latest styles in fashion. However, I am not okay with women trying.... to be stylish when they do not have what it takes to pull it off. Take ankle boots, for example. I have seen women wearing them, but they are women with either short legs, cankles or no definition in their calves. There are many styles of heels that can make women with these types of legs look good, but ankle boots are not among them. Key note: if you're ankles fill out the boots, you should not be wearing them. There should be extra room. Keep this under consideration for New Years!
Happy Holidays!

Winter Fashion is Changing!
Red and Black are No Longer the Only Hip Winter Colors! Tan, a color typically meant for the fall, is becoming a common color for the latest winter coats and boots. Everywhere I look, I see tan leather boots. In the past, besides UGGs, black was the only color of boots you'd see. That has completely changed. Gray, tan, beige, brown. Brown was a color you might see, but not as commonly as you might see this year. This might be a good thing for people who prefer beige and brown earth tones. Black is not for everybody. Brown is not for everybody. Now people have a choice. For a woman who may think black would not be the appropriate color with her cream colored coat, tan might be that right color to finish off her classy golden winter look. Certain people look better in lighter colors as opposed to others who need that dark shade around their fair complexion during the winter months.Happy Holidays from coast to coast!

Boots Are A Woman's Best Friend
In the Mid West, the weather has more mood swings then a woman pregnant for the first time. One day you will be wearing short sleeves and shorts. The next day you could be wearing layers under a winter coat with jeans and leather boots. Either ways, the leaves on the trees have completely changed colors and every day is considered visually pleasing.After this weekend, I have a feeling the winter-coat-weather is going to stick. You could walk through a little boutique or down the sidewalk and see women in an assortment of different boots. Tall, tan leather boots have become in-style recently in the Mid West. Though about a year ago in New York City, my best friend attending NYU started wearing them. That’s how it works here.
The best part about boots is that there isn’t just one type. Uggs are perfect for the cozy look with long flannel top, just make sure you are wearing them for function and not to make a fashion statement. Black Leather or suede flat boots are perfect for that classic jeans and all black-everything-else look. The black buckled heel-boots that just cover the ankle is perfect with a dress or a skirt. Last, but, not least, you can’t rule out the leather heel-boots that rise up to your knees. These are perfect for when your trying to add a little sophisticated flair to you're look.

Camping Inspired Fall Boots
Anyone who knows me or has even passed by me on the street could probably tell you that I do not do the outdoorsy thing. Not only do I not do the outdoorsy thing, but I won’t even lie in a hammock under a tree because I don’t like nature falling on me. I don’t enjoy sitting in the grass and though I have since gotten over it, when I was a baby, my mom had to take me to the beach wearing socks and shoes because I didn’t want my feet to touch the sand. Nevertheless, I am super excited about this fall season’s camping inspired gear. I am currently digging these Belle by Sigerson Morrison Suede Lace-Up Ankle Boots. They kind of remind me of those high heeled Timberland boots that (to my complete bewilderment) were popular a few years back. To be clear, this incarnation is way more fierce, and while I may purchase a pair I will not under any circumstances go hiking.Text Jessica Best

FINSK - A work of art for your feet

It is about time to give your feet the love they deserve. After all, they put up with your whole body weight a lot, and they get you from a to b. It's remarkable, really. So it's time to spend some of your spare money on some lovely shoes for your feet. They really do deserve it!
Not only are wedges great because they are easy to walk in but you can also go for the platform version and get an extra couple of inches. You'll feel as though your walking virtually flat. It doesn't get much better than that!
FINSK are offering these new color block wedges created by London based designer Julia Lundsten. With designs like this she has certainly made a great name for herself. Last year we were faced with great black pony hair wedges and now there's extra added color. You can purchase these fabulous black leather boots with the pink color block at OAK for $598. Not too bad when you're purchasing a work of art on your feet.

Boots: Singing in the Rain...

Although we no longer need to wear the long, heavy wool coats with fur to fight against the cold here in New York, we still need to fight the good fight against rain/wind. And while April Showers truly do bring May Flowers, we can still look good during the transition with a great pair of rubber wellies.
While some people opt for the traditional, classic choice of the Hunter boot in various colors, you can definitely go against the grain and find another pair of respectively chic rain boots. While others will splurge on the Jimmy Choo/Hunter boot collaboration, you can save with a pair of Crocodile printed rain boots from Urban Outfitters. If you are feeling equestrian , try these black/brown pair from Urban Outfitters as well. Both pairs are under $40. That is definitely a deal I can sink my umbrella into.

Has your outfit gone country?
Cowboy boots are the perfect fashionable footwear. You can dress up jeans and a t-shirt or dress down a skirt and blouse, therefore being the shoes you can wear on any occasion. There’s always that pair of shoes that you bought because they are gorgeous but then you struggle to put together outfits to with them, not these boots, you can wear them with almost everything.Cowboy boots come in so many colors, some knee high, some ankle, and they are darling. Not only that but they are comfortable, yes that’s right… heels that you wear all night and you won't have throbbing feet by the time the fun and dancing comes to an end. You can find cowboy boots anywhere and the prices range so even someone on a budget can look fab in a pair of these. I'd opt for going vintage shopping and picking up a used pair with some added character, happy hunting. :)

Chronicles of Never
The Aussies do it again, another dope brand pops up from down under. If you haven't heard of this brand, CHAOS is very happy to introduce you to Chronicles Of Never. Chronicles Of Never by Gareth Moody and a reference to Neverland started in 2006 doing jewelry, shoes and clothing for both men and women. The brand is influenced by architecture and geometric shapes and tends to be very angular, solid and masculine, definitely well suited for men. Even though most women may pass them by, the garments for the ladies look absolutely stunning on the frame of a women. The colors tend to stay strong, giving you an old meets new feel, even though the pieces are anything but old. The choice of colors influences the old and new feeling, as they tend to go for blacks with brass tones rather than the shinny gold look. Also, instead of polished silver they like brushed silver giving a nice pewter tone. The "Skeleton Key Boot", shown in the image, is actually a unisex boot and just as popular with the men as it is with the women. This leather lace up boot has a sturdy 1 inch heel and pieced toe cap, black leather sole and leather inner lining, nice detail. This is a great winter boot that can transition throughout the seasons, get this one before it's gone.
