Pixie Geldof in Doc Martens

There’s no doubt that the tough girl look is hot right now, and Pixie Geldof definitely pulls it off in her studded leather jacket and Dr. Martens.  

Leighton Meester in Dr. Martens

Clearly Leighton Meester’s personal style is nothing like that of her Gossip Girl alter ego.  Here she poses with Taryn Manning in The 1460 8 Eye Boot by Dr. Martens, with not a single headband to be found in the shot.

Lourdes Leon in Dr. Martens

It’s hard to live up to your mom’s style especially if she’s Madonna, but Lourdes Leon looks chic in her lacy dress, leather jacket, and Dr. Martens boots. Plus that neon green nail polish is rad.

All Jen Wants for Christmas is…

1. The 1460 8 Eye Boot in Black and Gold by Dr. Martens

2. The Rue De Louvre Jacket by Obey

3. The Holidaze Leggings in Black by Hellz Bellz

This Holiday, I’m digging more masculine-inspired styles and trends. The 1460 8 Eye Boot in Black and Gold by Dr. Martens is a classic leather combat boot with a beautiful gold floral print. Sturdy for the snow and super stylish, these boots are a definite must-have. The Rue De Louvre Jacket by Obey also has a military style – a mid-weight hooded jacket in a great deep army color. You can never own too many leggings, especially since they are a fantastic substitute for pants or jeans, so The Holidaze Leggings in Black by Hellz Bellz are a great pick. In an allover festive print, these high-waisted leggings are trendy and cool.

1. The Meteor Shower II Boot in Black by Seychelles: the look of wraparound laces, but an easy side zip
2. The Johari 12 Tie Eyelet Zip Boot by Dr. Martens: the more grommets the better– not for Plain Janes ;]
3. The All Ruffle Boot by Jeffrey Campbell: comes with a removable ruffle around the ankle
4. The 1B99 14 Eye Zip Boot by Dr. Martens: a classic boot with high shine
