What’s your Minnetonka story?
I recently bought a pair of moccasins for my 2-year-old daughter, Julia, because I was having trouble finding her cold weather shoes that actually stayed on her feet and didn’t require an army of patience to put on a squirmy toddler. I love them because she has a bad habit of taking off her shoes in public and she has yet to do so with her Minnetonka boots which my posterity greatly appreciates. My stylish grandma recently added a pink pair to her collection and bought Julia’s little brother, Sebastian, a pair of his very own.

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase what would it be?
Functional meets try-not-to-look-like-I’m-trying-too-hard. I would love to have the excuse to go all out and rock the latest trends but the reality is that most of my outings are to glamorous places like Costco and Target.

Whose style inspires you? Where do you find your inspiration?
I am such a sucker for fashion and style blogs and love the outfits Kendi, Bex, and Megan wear on their blogs. If I could raid anyone’s closet it would be probably the Olsen twins … two for one.

What’s your favorite trend this season?
How cliche do ankle boots and patterned denim sound? Because I love the look of both.

What song do you currently have on repeat?
I’m always years behind the curve but I’ve been loving Lana Del Ray even though she’s a little depressing … she gets me through my little teeny tiny jogs.

What’s your favorite city and why?
Not that I frequent this place a lot but I love Rome (as in Italy). How is it not everyone’s favorite place? I don’t know.

My Minnetonka must-have item is _____________.
This is tough because I LIVE in my Sheepskin Side Zip Fringe Boots (warmest shoes ever) but I truly love my Suede Ankle Boots because they are insanely comfortable, go with just about everything in my closet, and can be dressed up for a trip to Target or, you know, dressed down for a trip to Target.

What’s your Minnetonka story?
I got my first pair of Minnetonka mocs when my family was on a cross country RV trip. We were camping in West Yellowstone and went shopping through all the little tourist shops and one of them had Minnetonka for sale.  My mom had always told me how her Thunderbird mocs were her favorite shoes growing up, and I’d always wanted a pair because of that, so when I saw them I knew I had to get a pair.  They instantly became my favorite shoes and I wore them nonstop until they were chewed to pieces by my ex-boyfriend’s mom’s Rottweilers (I’m sure they just thought they smelled like tasty leather dog treats!).  It was especially sad because not only did I lose my favorite shoes, but he had broken up with me that week.  Talk about adding insult to injury!

Thankfully, the next week as I was driving to my parent’s house I spotted a little shop on the side of the highway that had a sign out advertising moccasins.  I decided to quickly pull over and see if they were Minnetonka’s and they were!  So I got myself a brand new pair of Thunderbirds and have been wearing them ever since!

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase what would it be?
Vintage inspired, infused with an eclectic mix of modern styles.

Whose style inspires you? Where do you find your inspiration?
I’m most inspired by other bloggers.  I’ve never been able to identify with the style I see in magazines, so when I discovered personal style bloggers I was excited to see normal girls like myself being creative in their own personal style.  To me, magazines were always about selling trends and designer clothes, but bloggers were all about shopping according to your own budget and styling yourself in a way that inspires you and makes you feel good.  I find that incredibly inspirational.

What’s your favorite thing about dressing for fall?
My favorite thing about fall dressing is just getting to wear boots and scarves and hats again, and being able to pull out all my favorite jackets.  I actually just got an awesome cape, so I guess I’ll say that my favorite fall trend is capes.  I love how they add an air of intrigue in a chic way.  I always feel a bit like a character out of a fairy tale when I wear my cape.

What song do you currently have on repeat?
I’ve been listening to this mix nonstop lately.  It has two of my favorite songs, Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra, and Down in Mexico by The Coasters.  So much awesome in one mix.

What’s your favorite city and why?
Lately I’ve been feeling a lot of love for my hometown of Anchorage, Alaska.  Growing up there, it’s just normal.  You’re just a kid living in a town like every other kid in other places.  But having grown up and finding myself living in the Lower 48, I’m beginning to get a different perspective and I really appreciate how special Anchorage (and all of Alaska) is.  The landscape alone is awe inspiring, but really there’s something about people who live there that is a bit different, which I think comes from this unspoken sense of “being in this together.”  Since Alaska is so far away from the rest of the states, it’s inhabitants learn to lean on one another for support.  Not to say that people in the Lower 48 don’t support one another (we see this happen all the time with stuff like the recent hurricane), but down here we can draw on all the people in the states around us for support and we’re much more visible to the media and one another.  In Alaska that large support system isn’t there, so it’s much more of an internal sense of support, if that makes sense. Anchorage may not be the most chic or trendy city in the US, but it’s got something special that I have yet to find anywhere else.

What’s your Minnetonka story?
I got my first pair of Minnetonka mocs my freshman year of college when my mom came to visit me. They were the classic Thunderbird Boat Sole and I wore them into the ground. At the time, my style was really bohemian, and they were my favorite shoes for my long walks to and from class. My mom also bought a pair the same day and has since replaced them with an identical pair. She loves Minnetonka mocs too!

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase what would it be?
Polished, but not stuffy. I love looking put together but with some fun flair.

Whose style inspires you? Where do you find your inspiration?
I love classic icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O, but my favorite modern icon is Olivia Palermo. She looks good in everything! I look for information online through style icons, blogs, and I’m always looking for ideas in my favorite magazines and catalogs.

What’s your favorite trend for fall?
Anything Baroque inspired! I loved all of the brocade I saw from fashion week photos. It’s timeless, classic, and totally chic!

What song do you currently have on repeat?
“Wildest Moments” by Jessie Ware

What’s your Minnetonka story?
I actually purchased my first pair of Minnetonka moccasins at a small gift shop in northern Michigan a couple of summers ago. I absolutely loved how stylish and comfortable they were, and wore them all season and into the next. I love finding gems in hidden places and Minnetonka mocs were just that!

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase what would it be?
Hmm, style meets little kid’s view finder. I love fashion and adventure. Why not mix the two?

Whose style inspires you? Where do you find your inspiration?
I find my inspiration from everyday girls like me; that’s why I love reading personal style blogs. I’m also really inspired by my surroundings and seasons. I love floral, mixing patterns and bright colors.

What song do you currently have on repeat?
I’m currently in love with Tegan and Sara’s new song – Closer. It’s a bit different than their old stuff, but so fun and great to blast in the car or at work.

My Minnetonka must-have item is _____________.
My Suede Skimmer Moc’s. They go with everything and are the most comfortable shoes I own. The more you wear them too, the better they get.

If you could explain your style in one word or phrase what would it be?
Feminine chic

What’s your favorite trend for fall?
I’m very excited that leather skirts are back!

What song do you currently have on repeat?
“Biggest Part of Me” by Ambrosia
I’m all about late 70′s and early 80′s music recently. So cheesy yet so good!

What’s your favorite city and why?
I must say New York City.  The place is full of so many different cultures and people from all over the world. Its diversity has been an amazing inspiration to me.

Describe your Minnetonka style.
I like feminine and romantic styling without looking overdone.  Whether it’s a flare skater skirt or a white cotton tunic, adding a pair of Minnetonka mocs or boots makes the look more casual yet stylish.
