Calling all avant-gardians: strap in and buckle up. Multi-buckle shoes are fit for the daring so wallflowers step aside. I can't deny my lust for these Balmain Uma Buckle Boots ($1,275).

No matter where you're going, buckle up and enjoy the walk. Buckles have sprouted all over the place on boots: on the front, in the center, on the sides. And they're not all created equal.
Car Decals With a Purpose: Bark Buckle Up Safety Kit
Summer usually is the time for family road trips and, for most, this includes your four-legged family members as well. I hate to put this out there, but if by chance you get into an accident with your pet in the car (knock on wood, this hasn't happened), first responders can have a heck of a time trying to get you out of a mangled car safely, which can become even more difficult if they have a scared or injured pet on their hands.
First off, pets should always be belted in for their (and your) own good, but adding this Pet Safety Kit into the mix can help even more.
Etsy Find: Belt Buckle Frame
Since I recently suggested you repurpose your belt buckles as frames, when I came across a belt buckle for sale used in the same way, I couldn't help but share! The Domestikate Custom Belt Buckle ($26) was originally used to hold polished rock and gemstone pieces, and it has a D-ring on its back side, so it can actually be used as a buckle or just as a decorative frame. I love its 1970s Western theme, and think it just begs for a black-and-white cowboy image inside.

I've seen one of Dee and Ricky's Lego accessories before — their Heart-Shaped Pin (rumored to have been worn by Kanye West) was mod and adorable, and I've almost fallen for their Lego belt buckles, seen here.
Why almost? Because this cute Pink Ranger Lego Belt costs $75!
Trend Alert: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
Buckles are having a brilliant moment in footwear. So we can't all afford Cate's Roger Vivier brocade-buckled pumps, but we can aspire to be as sophisticated and lovely as Cate the Great. As she exhibits — a great pair of buckles lends itself a perfect match to a smart LBD.
Geek Gear: LED Belt Buckles
These may not be the chicest geek apparel on the market, but they may be the most blingin'.
