New Arrivals: A Holy Affair

Trend Watch

For months, crosses have been a fashion trend flaunted by many of our beloved JC girls, particularly those who dare to dress with a bit more edge. Flirting with a look that ranges part-gothic and part-grunge, the cross is the ultimate design detail of the moment. We’ve got some hot new releases that for some may be borderline crucifix controversial, but fashion is about taking risks, right? Good shoes have always been our religion.

 From Nasty Gal, check out the Damsel Cross Spike or the Holy Stud Platform. Both pairs of leather boots will bring you studded and spiky crosses adorned across the back heels of your feet—perfect as you’re strutting down the street with that ultra-lift of course. And like its name suggests, the NSFW Platform is the after-hours, out-of-office essential. The cross cutout detail lined in silver safety pins makes this one a must-have.

 From Karmaloop, try the Night Cross Boot. This heel-less beauty rises right for the knee, showing off a studded cross on both sides of its washed black leather exterior. Only a few sizes left of this one! Lastly, for some subtle stud work, score the black and gold Dollywood bootie. Dripping in tiny gold circle studs and down to the gold buckles up top, this is glamour to die for.

 Which will you be rocking this Fall? †††
