It’s not often that I say this, but I have not done much shopping lately!  All of my fave things from the past few months were under my tree from my parents, my husband, and my in-laws – so there isn’t much left to buy!  I did get something super fun and unexpected from my sister that I must tell you about though.  Minnetonka Moccasin Boots.  The company is older than me (by like 2.5 times) and I would imagine they hit their stride in the 70s (along with Uggs who made an obvious come back).  Look for their classic moccasin characteristics like fringe and shearling.  When buying the boots they come in “layers,” meaning the number of layers of fringe.  I have the three-layer…just like these:

They look ADORABLE with black leggings and oversized sweaters…in the springtime, don’t put it past me to pair them with a cute dress or denim shorts/skirt with a longer top!  Check them out…both Zapposand Endlessoffer free shipping both ways so it’s risk-free shopping!  A big thank you for to my sister who brought this brand back to my radar!

We love our troops so much that they’ve influenced an entire trend this fall season.  I’ve seen military-inspired cargos, jackets, handbags, and boots!  Not much more to say other than that it rocks!  I love the details: zippers, buttons, leather – gives an edge to an otherwise laid back look.  Here is just a sampling what can be found in stores now!

Free People Skinny Military Cargos – $98

Sanctuary Uniform Belted Jacket – $158 (Nordstrom)

Roxy New Autumn Cap – $36 (Nordstrom)

Miss Sixty Blair Boot – $189 (Zappos)

And for the Camo Ladies…Michael Kors Camo Tote – $328 (Ebags which has 25% Off 1 Item! Hurry, ends Sunday 9/19)

Like always…I encourage this look in moderation – perhaps you could choose one of the above items and pair it with your favorite jeans, or throw on a simple white tee with the cargos and Michael Kors bag.  Whatever you do…don’t forget about the men and women who inspired this AMAZING trend.  Wear it with honor

Happy Weekend!
