If you haven’t noticed that Western-inspired Boots are the hottest item on the streets right now, then please come out from wherever you’ve been hiding!

Let’s face the facts, they have been around forever (I was lucky enough to inherit my mom’s pair from the 70’s), so technically we can’t call this boot craze a new trend. It is more like a staple, a necessity for every closet, an article that will pretty much never go out of style, & the older they get the better! Who doesn’t love an easy to throw on & comfortable boot?

The “Denver” by Volatile is a super stylish, amazingly detailed, Western-inspired boot that is available in both tan & black for $70. Shop in stores or at http://www.gliks.com to find your pair today!

Western-inspired boots are just that, western-inspired. Whether you’re a rocker, skater, diva, or athlete, this style is more than satisfying. Western boots are super cute with skinny jeans and just about any top you feel like throwing on, from a basic t-shirt to a silky floral print tank, and they also look equally amazing with dresses, shorts, & skirts of any fabric and print.

Here are some of our FAV Celebs wearing Western Boots!

Style File: VMA Fashion!

Even if you don’t watch MTV on the regular, chances are you may have found yourself enjoying the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night. Sure maybe you were forced, or maybe there wasn’t anything else to watch (hopefully you Recorded True Blood), but it was a production that as always, is filled with surprises and shockers!

The VMA’s included an interesting and ongoing performance by Lady Gaga (or shall we call her Jo Calderone), a tribute to Britney Spears who received The Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, and a pregnancy announcement from the one and only Beyonce. Exciting headlines aside, one thing viewers can’t and won’t stop talking about is the fashion that almost automatically predicts new trends, must-haves, and also leaves some with the question “what were they thinking?”

Here are some of the most talked about celebs straight from the Black Carpet at last night’s event. As for who would take home a Moon Man for “best” dressed and “worst” dressed, you’ll have to vote on that one all by your lonesome!

Can’t wait to see how MTV and all the artists will top themselves in 2012!

 

Britney Spears

 

Miley Cyrus

 

Nicki Minaj

 

Lady Gaga

 

Kim Kardashian

 

Selena Gomez

 

Kreayshawn

 

Adele

 

Beyonce

Rock – noun: A genre of music that represents freedom of expression and liberation.

Re.viv.al – noun: restoration to life, consciousness, vigor, strength.

It’s well known that denim is an item that isn’t going off the racks anytime soon. No matter the age, lifestyle, or location of the shopper, the hunt for that perfect pair of jeans continues. With all of the brands available, it is hard to pick one to fall in love with (which we can’t say we recommend-the more jeans in our closet the better!), however Rock Revival denim is a must have, that will keep you coming back for more!

L.A. is well known for innovative fashion sense & its entertainment lifestyle. Rock Revival, established in 2005 and based in Los Angeles, offers sophistication with a Rock and Roll twist!

Glik’s is proud to provide select styles of Rock Revival’s women’s line. Their brand demonstrates a large variety of unique washes, signature Rock Revival pockets and high quality denim.

“Everyday we create denim that is inspired by Rock and Roll: the same Rock and Roll that has broken down barriers of race, class and gender; and continues to influence attitudes and lifestyles today. We hope that our denim inspires your own individuality.”

-As stated at http://www.rockrevival.com.

Rock is not simply just a type of music anymore, but a lifestyle that breathes fashion. Rock Revival’s denim collection brings back the art of bona fide tailoring with edgy and classic detailing, stitching, and washes. As you slip into the ultra flattering super smooth fabric, you will realize these jeans are like no other.

It’s still August which means, contrary to the current temps, it is almost time to dig out our sweaters, jackets, and BOOTS.

Fall weather tells you to pack up your sandals and flip flops, and forces you pull out your socks and start covering your toes! One of my personal favorite parts of fall fashion are BOOTS and this season’s styles are better than ever! Below you’ll find great new boots available in stores and online at http://www.gliks.com!

To get you in the mood for some BOOT shopping here are some of the new styles at Glik’s, ONE for everyday of the week! Perfect!

1. Case of the Mondays? Not when you’re wearing the “Asiana” Riding Boot! Miss the bus on purpose & hop on a Motorcycle in these!

2. Daydreaming of Friday Already? We are too in the totally versatile “Gerry” Riding Boot. Wear the cuff folded down at work and flip it up & loose the cardi for last minute happy hour or dinner plans!

3. Need a little Pick Me Up? The 3″ wedge heel on the “Della” Boot will give it to you! Forget to finish your laundry? No worries these boots are easy to pair with just about anything you have in your closet (or on your floor) Shhh..we won’t tell! Happy Hump Day!

4. It’s Thursday, and you can just about taste the weekend… Need something to remind you of the fun you’ll soon be having relaxing, shopping, and dancing? May I present to you the “Camilla” Bootie. If you don’t have a pair of booties yet you are missing out! These have a sherpa-lined cuff that can be worn up or down, and also have an amazingly comfortable chunky heel.

5. Who said Fridays had to be casual? Slip into the “Agatha” Boot and you’ll be FAR FAR away from Casual Friday, and much closer to the weekend! Anything animal print is super hot right now, so why not let your inner party animal out with these zebra-print cuffed boots!? Want to keep it simple.. fold the cuff up and the zebra-print pattern is replaced with silver studs!
