Splurge or steal: Cowboy boots

The trend: Cowboy boots

The 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede is now officially underway and whether you are riding in the rodeo or celebrating in spirit, give it your best “giddy up, partner” by sporting a pair of  cowboy boots. 

They're a long-standing staple of traditional western wear, but we love pairing them with our favourite summer outfits like a frilly sundress or denim shorts.
