After all of the decoration and over-the-top dressing of the holidays, I’m in the mood for simple silhouettes. Especially ones that don’t cause discomfort of any kind. No more binding waistlines, killer heels or lacy push up bras. So I’m very attracted to this simple, comfy boot style. A quick zip and you’re in and out of them. The heel gives you a couple inches but won’t slow you own or cause toe pain. And they’re certainly not boring. To me this shape has a rock and roll rebel vibe, which is such a bonus when it comes in a package this comfy. Allison Mosshart wore a gold version of the Dior Homme numbers (Hedi Slimane at his best) when I saw her in concert in San Francisco in 2009 (above). The silver ones can be yours if you bid on them in the next few days (starting bid is $400).
