I Have a Fever and the Only Cure is...Dr. Martens

I got my first Dr. Martens when I was ten years old. They were floral-print and they were AWESOME. It’s been a long-term, serious love affair since then. Once I entered into the world of punk, I felt an innate bond with my favorite bands over our shared love of this chosen footwear – and I loved that I could wear a hot pink and/or star-print version of their steel-toed black versions. Dr. Martens are timeless. They’re tough. They’re punk. And they can also be statement-making, pretty, loud, bold, vibrant – just awesome. They’re also affordable, which is amazing nowadays for something that will literally last forever. Wandering past a Dr. Martens store near Union Square yesterday reignited the flames of passion – and I think I’m going to be investing in at least three pairs this fall. My favorite trends - which I recommend for an instant wardrobe update? The statement-making floral prints, bold brilliant brights, high-shine metallics, animal prints and studs!

To find yours, either head to the Dr. Martens site or cruise over to one of my favorite Docs destinations, Thirteen Vintage.
