My Minnetonka Story: Hannah Darling

What was your first pair of Minnetonka moccasins?
My first pair of Minnetonkas were the Calf Hi 3-Layer Fringe Boot in brown. I wore them for months straight, rain or shine, hiking in the mountains or out on the town.

Where were your first pair of Minnetonkas purchased?
I got my first pair of Minnetonkas on a road trip through the beautiful American Southwest. We stopped at a little gift shop in the middle of nowhere on the way to go camping at the Grand Canyon. I had to have a pair of the Minnetonkas they had lined up in the window. They were the perfect shoes to wear on my very first visit to that magical place. And I’ve worn them every time I’ve returned!

What is your favorite memory involving your Minnetonkas?
I once had an elderly co-worker of mine comment on my Minnetonka Moccasins, saying he wished he could wear stuff like that. I told him he could! He laughed, said I was right and I told him where he could find some moccasins of his own.

How far have you and your Minnetonkas traveled?
I’ve worn my Minnetonkas all over the country, from Yosemite National Park to New York City. Thats what I love about them, they’re so endlessly versatile.

Describe your Minnetonka style.
My Minnetonka style is casual and comfortable. But I love to dress them up too. Traveling, work, play- I pretty much wear them for any occasion.

Minnetonka at the Thirst Project Gala

Recently Minnetonka had the exciting opportunity to attend the Third Annual Thirst Project Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.  The Thirst Project is an unbelievably inspiring grassroots organization founded by Seth Maxwell who’s mission is to raise awareness about the world water crisis and to provide safe, clean water and sanitation to 1 Million people by 2015. What an amazing goal!

At this year’s Thirst Project Gala, Hollywood celebrities had a chance to shop the latest styles and colors of Minnetonka mocs.  Chyler Leigh, Sarah Drew, Audrina Patridge and Lance Bass were amongst the many celebrities attending the Gala raising awareness about the world water crisis.  The Gala successfully raised over $188,000 for clean water wells that will be built in Swaziland and Colombia.

“Like” The Thirst Project on Facebook and visit www.thirstproject.org to find out how you can get involved in this great cause.  And don’t forget to vote for the Thirst Project in the Do Something Awards here!

Awaiting the celebrity red carpet arrivals at the Third Annual Thirst Project Gala!

Minnetonka Blogger Spotlight:  Abigail Rotzell of Sweet Lasses

Twice a month Minnetonka spotlights the style of bloggers we absolutely love in our Minnetonka Blogger Spotlight.   This week we’re excited to spotlight Abigail Rotzell the blogger behind one of our favorite style blogs Sweet Lasses.  We’ve love how Abigail effortlessly styled three different looks infused with the perfect amount of boho beauty featuring a few of our Minnetonka favorites the El Paso moc, the Woodstock boot and the Two Button boot.

Take a look at Abigail’s Minnetonka story along with whose style inspires her in our Q&A and be sure to visit Sweet Lasses for more style inspirations.

What’s your Minnetonka Story?
My first Minnetonka purchase was the 3-Layer Fringe Boot (should be a staple item in everyone’s closet!). The first time I wore the boots out, I paired them with a sundress in the middle of July and fell in love with not only the bohemian style but their comfort, ease and versatility. I have never looked back whether in snow, sand or the good ole pavement, they are a timeless item that will be in my closet forever and never go out of style.

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase, what would it be?
#BohoBeauty (My #1 tag on @SweetLasses Instagram)

Who’s style inspires you?
Hands down, celebrity-wise: MK Olsen, Kate Moss, Gillian Zinser and Sienna Miller. Blogger-wise: Something Navy & Song-of-Style and otherwise: all those amazing lookbooks by Free People, Street Style and TUMBLR!

What song do you currently have on repeat?
Peoples by Cheers Elephant or anything Alabama Shakes and The Lumineers!

Where is your favorite summer destination?
OBX by far..beach, sun, toes in the sand and relaxation.

My Minnetonka must-have item is…
The Woodstock Boot because it completes all my festival-looks this summer!
