How did you style your boots?

Whenever I wear boots, it always takes me back to being that little country girl in Ohio and I wanted to somehow recreate that, but for my adult self.  Because I’m not so country anymore, I paired the boots with some vintage Levi’s blue jeans, a mustard turtleneck from Zara, and a burnt orange vintage jacket. I can’t forget my hat: it’s a Resistol from a vintage store in Los Angeles.

When I was little Melisa, I spent all my time in the fields and woods behind my house and I wanted to stay true to who I was, so I chose to shoot at a location that I consider being my “backyard” and where I spend a lot of time in LA.  I’ve traded cornfields and woodlands for mountains and cacti.

I’m so excited about this season’s color selections. I chose to wear the Redwood hue and I have loved this maroon/purplish color for a long time — I’m so glad it’s finally popular now.  I love matching it with copper, gold, and various shades of yellows, oranges, and reds.







Also, I just love this boot.  I love that you can slip them on and be out the door.  I’m always on the go and I often don’t think too much about what I’m wearing.  I like to look good, don’t get me wrong, but for me it’s about getting out there first and being fashionable second.  With these boots, you can do both!
