Shopbop.com and Frye Boots Giveaway

Today, I've teamed up with Shopbop.com to give away a $100 Shopbop.com

instant gift card to the most creative commenter who shares what his or

her favorite pair of Frye boots from Shopbop.com is, and why. It's that simple.

What's the story behind your favorite Frye boots?

In 1863, John A. Frye, a shoemaker from England, started the Frye Company making it

the longest continually operating shoe company in U.S. history. From the American

Civil War to the pioneers' travels out West, Frye boots has remained a part of

American tradition since the company's founding. In fact, a pair of Frye boots

represents America in the 1960s at the Smithsonian Institute!

In 1938, Frye's grandson made a pair of boots for a U.S. Navy Admiral, and after

that, soldiers' orders of Frye boots continued; in fact, Frye supplied thousands

of their Wellington style (also known as Jet Boots) to WWII soldiers, including

General Patton!

Today, whether they're worn with motorcycle jeans or a mini dress, Frye boots

continue in popularity, worn by celebrities, like Jessica Biel and Anne Hathoway.

If you win this giveaway by leaving the most creative comment, you'll get a

$100 Shopbop.com instant gift card so you can immediately begin

shopping for your favorite pair of these American classics. Remember, the most

fashion-inspiring response wins, so show off your unique style. Good luck!

Jenna's Way

"The simple watch totally needs to be worn with a black edgy outfit! My favorite couple (besides Beckham and Posh) are silver and black. I'd pair it up with the Prada Motorcycle Boots, my favorite Elizabeth and James skinny black jeans, a black fur vest (every girl needs one, preferably an Adrienne Landau one) over a black or white long sleeve/t shirt depending on the weather. Oh and of course worn with the Alexander McQueen faithful leather bucket tote....whoever wants to buy it for me ;)"

Congrats to Jenna, winner of a beautiful new Orient Watch! And don't forget to check out her blog, Jenna Elle. Thank you for all of your entries, I loved reading them xx
