Have you heard of Ariat Boots? If not, meet my best friend in boots form. Ariat makes the most beautiful and high-quality boots I have ever had the privilege of wearing. I now own two pairs of Ariat boots and I am so in love with both of them. I know they are going to be a part of my wardrobe for a long time. 

Ariat is an American footwear brand with an equestrian heritage. Their boots are designed to be advanced footwear, specifically for top equestrian athletes. However, these boots aren't just for equestrians. I've never ridden a horse in my life (it's truly a shame and on my bucket list) and I am in love with these boots. I love that Ariat has grown over the years and created a line of equestrain-inspired fashion footwear that uses their authentic heritage in their designs to appeal to the mainstream consumer. I mean, if you're anything like me- you NEED a nice and comfortable pair of riding boots.

 If you're a lover of boots, then you're a lover of Ariat.

Ariat has a wide range of fashionable boots that are quality, comfortable, and stylish. They are the leading brand of authentic equestrian-inspired fashion footwear. I am in love with their fall 14 collection and I'm sure you will be too! Their entire fall line is inspired by vintage equine culture. This is best described as a blend of contemporary style with English and western traditions. This is a style that I love to wear. 

In these photos, I am wearing the Ariat Bristol Boots in java. These boots are not like any boot I've ever owned and I love what they can bring to an outfit. They are an engineer boot, yet they also have the silhoutte of an English boot. I love the mix of styles in one boot! One glance at these boots will tell you that they are top of the line, high-quality. They are sturdy, but they are so comfortable. They are stylish, timeless, and versatile. Did I mention they are comfortable? I can wear them and walk around in them all day and my feet will still be happy.  I know this from experience too, because after wearing a different pair of Ariat boots for over one year, they are in perfect condition and I wear them over and over again. I'm so excited to start rotating these bristol boots into my weekly outfits for the fall!

Are you just dying to have a pair of Ariat boots now!? Because you should be.

Equestrian with Ariat

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ariat.

I am utterly obsessed with boots, namely riding boots. These Ariat York Boots are pretty much my most prized possession right now. I have been looking for a great new pair of riding boots lately and these really exceeded my standards! I chose the brown boots because they would match more of my wardrobe, [I don't wear a ton of black] but I love how these have a black cuff at the top of the boot! It makes for great contrast  of colors and it gives you the best of both worlds! When I opened up these Ariat boots, I was amazed. I have never owned such a high-quality boot. The genuine leather and make-up of the boot is so beautifully crafted. Riding boots are very versatile and I know I will be wearing these boots a lot. I can't wait to pair them with some bordeaux leggings and a dress or skirt! Although this isn't a bargain buy by any means, these boots are a quality and worthy buy. I kind of have a rule when shopping- I usually only splurge on things like shoes or purses. In this case, splurging on boots is totally worth it because they are such high-quality and their shelf-life in your closet will be much longer than many other boots. At least that's how I feel about these boots in particular. 

Because these are 'equestrian style' boots, I decided to keep the whole look equestrian with a striped j.crew factory oxford, jeans, and a pale blue blazer. I am obsessed with the buckles on the side of the boots! It's the details that count, right?
