While in South Africa I noticed a big trend for riding boots. It suited the whole safari theme and a good pair of designer riding boots teamed up with a white shirt and dark jeans made a casual comfortable outfit look oh-so runway.
The problem with riding boots is that they tend to look a little too masculine. It took me a while to find a pair that were not too plain or look like they were part of a cowboy fancy dress costume.
My initial choice were the Tory Burch Selma Riders however they were a bit too difficult to locate and the $500 price tag was quite high for Tory Burch. I figured Id rather pay an extra $500 for a good quality pair of Gucci boots which I found on sale at www.bluefly.com
Here are my Gucci 'ride's'
