The tribal/bohemian style has been very much "in" these days- from trendy hair feathers to turquoise jewelry to fringes and everything in between. There's one integral piece to achieving a head-to-toe tribal look that translates from season to season, and is ideal especially for early fall - the moccasin. These comfy boots and shoes are perfect for the change of season and the neutral colors match with every outfit. Of course, the most trusted brand in the moccs biz is none other than Minnetonka.

My personal collection of Minnetonkas

From L to R: Thunderbird II, Woodstock Boot, and Kilty Suede Moc

Minnetonka began crafting its fabulous moccasins in 1946, and since then has created an enormous variety of both men's and women's shoes, boots, and even handbags. All of their products are of extremely high quality and come in an array of colors and styles, some embroidered with colorful beading, others studded with peace signs. Since I first learned about the brand, I've thus far invested in 4 pairs of Minnetonkas, and must say they are my favorite shoes to wear on campus - highly durable and comfortable for walking (just not in the rain - they're suede!). Naturally, some of my favorite celebs are fans of the shoes, and know just what to pair them with to achieve the ultimate effortless bohemian style.

Like I said - so ideal for heading to class in style and perfect for the easy, breezy, JMU fall weather. Will you rock the mocc this fall?

Cheers!
