I always love traveling between busy work weeks. As much as I love being in Los Angeles, it’s always nice to leave the hustle and get into some more laid back environments and experience some changes in weather. That’s why I was so excited to book a last minute trip to North Carolina to get a real feel for fall up in the Blue Ridge Mountains! 

Seeing as how I’ve gotten rid of most of my fall-wear, I was super excited to partner with Zappos and Steve Madden for this trip! With fast, free shipping, I knew I wouldn’t have any issues with getting my new Steve Madden Aziz Boots in time for the trip… a much needed pair for fall!

If you ever travel to North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Mountains are a must! Beautiful fall foliage, breathtaking hikes, and some delicious food and drinks will instantly draw you in. I visited the Biltmore Estate which was a summer house for the Vanderbilt family over a hundred years ago. I spent the entire day trekking the palatial grounds in my Steve Maddens to really put them to the test. 

The results – comfort and style with every step! I love the rich colors of tan leather, which will only get better with ware. Either dressed up or dressed down, these guys are super versatile which is always important to me when purchasing footwear. Definitely head over to Zappos.com and see the huge assortment of Steve Madden kicks and get prepped for any season, occasion, and adventure!
