FEATURED FIND
Jeannie Ralston says, “I’ve had a pair of Blundstones in my closet for probably 30 years. A friend from Australia brought back my first pair as a gift. I’ve loved them ever since. What makes them so great for travel as we head into cooler weather is that they look great with dresses and skirts as well as pants. That simplifies things. And the trick is to wear them on the plane because you don’t want to pack these space hogs.”
