Fall Shoes We Love

Fall is always a confusing time for the fashion world. One day it's sunny and 65 degrees, the next it's a gloomy 55 degrees, if you're lucky. In order to help others cope with the fickle weather, we decided to dedicate a post to our favorite multi-purpose shoe: Minnetonkas. If you live under a rock and don't already know, Minnetonkas come in a variety of styles ranging from slippers and moccasins to boots and slippers. From plenty of previous experience, we can tell you it's better to buy Minnetonkas so they're snug on your foot because they tend to stretch just like Uggs. Below are our favorite designs with complementing attire suggestions.

Skinny jeans & an off the shoulder crop top for a casual lunch date

Moccasins go perfectly with leggings and an oversized sweater for those hungover Saturday morning walks Starbucks

Spice up a plain short black dress with black opaque tights

Finally, not only are Minnetonkas versatile, they are also the perfect trendy yet comfortable shoe for a long night of dancing, whether you are in a dark smoky Brooklyn warehouse or a packed mainstream venue. Check Zappos or Nordstrom for available designs.

Now Trending : Aztec Leggings

Although fall temperatures have only been upon us for a weekend or two, we have already witnessed some recurring must have styles for the 2012 season. A fresh alternative from "Native American" patterns, Aztec leggings, whether they're black & white or mutli-colored, are a bold addition to any casual Sunday Funday attire. Pair these leggings with combat boots, a loose fitting top and a leather jacket to complete the "I'm too tired to get dressed but still want to continue partying before the weekend is over" look.
