Obsessed: Robyn Lawley

First let me preface this by saying that while I am a feminist and I do believe women should look and feel and be however/whomever they want, I like skinny models.  I do.  And not because I have anything against plus size models- it's just a personal preference, like my affinity for British gingers.

That being said, Robyn Lawley is amazing.

Australian model Robyn Lawley is taking offffff! After being the first plus size model to be shot for Australian Vogue as well as being the first plus size model to be part of a Ralph Lauren campaign, back in 2012. So at 24, she's pretty accomplished.

Anyway she just appeared in Australian GQ rocking a collection of denim pieces and looking absolutely beautiful.

Footnote: Lawley is 6'2" and weighs 180lbs, giving her a BMI of 23.1 which is considered healthy.

Trend Alert: Over-The-Knee Boots

Fall fashion is basically the same thing over and over with simple variations but this year it just so happens that thigh-high boots are not only non-skanky but fashionable.  I'm super into this, mostly because Anne Hathaway wears the most beautiful Chanel boots in The Devil Wears Prada.

But if you're not Anne Hathaway, it can be a hard look to pull off so let's talk about it.


If you're skeptical: try it with skinny jeans first à la Sienna Miller. It's a softer introduction if you don't go crazy with your style choices. 

If you're bolder: these boots look great with shorter hemlines, so feel free to rock a short hemline or even shorts with tights, which for some reason is really popular right now. 

Because this is a massively popular trend, you can choose from gazillions of styles to fit you but I've made this list to get you started.
