After months of planning, designing and collaborating, we are happy to share and welcome you to NewDarlings.com!  When we moved to Arizona last July, we turned to Instagram to share our new adventure with our family and friends. We were overwhelmed with the love and support we received in such a short time.  Many of you have become our new friends and partners and for that we couldn’t be more grateful.

We’re so happy to share our blog with you and give you a peek into our daily lives. Take a look around, follow along, and share your thoughts.  There are so many good things to come!

We are extremely excited to kick things off with our recent collaboration with Minnetonka.  We had a blast styling these beautiful, handmade moccasins with our picnic in the desert.  Minnetonka has generously offered to gift two lucky winners their choice of any pair of moccasins from the Minnetonka Moccasin website.

GIVEAWAY DETAILS: To enter you must be a resident of the U.S.  Leave a comment below with your email and which pair of moccasins you would choose. Additional entries will go to those who share on other social media outlets.  Voting officially ends on Saturday, July 5th and the winner will be announced on Sunday, July 6th. Good luck!

His: Banana Republic button-down, Levi’s jeans, shoes c/o Minnetonka Moccasins, Ray-Ban sunglasses
Hers: Free People tank, Gap jeans, shoes c/o Minnetonka Moccasins, Free People sunglasses

  32. Hi! I’m an editor and photographer at Popular Science. In the process of covering global health, environmental policy, and international relations, I’ve traveled to odd corners of the world, from the Russian church in Bellingshausen Station, Antarctica to a circus school for orphans in the Cambodian mountains. My most recent project involved covering the social uprisings in Venezuela … so I’m always looking for comfortable shoes that are both stylish and practical enough to take me from city streets to conflict zones. I’d love a pair of Minnetonka El Paso Ankle booties to take on my travels!

  33. Cute site! As a city-dweller with a country heart, it’s inspiring and fun to see your photos!

    And mocs? Yes please! I’d choose the classic fringe boot hardsole.

  34. I just came across your Instagram today and your pictures are beautiful. Now I can’t wait to read your blog! I have never owned a pair of Minnetonka’s, but I love the classic fringe boot. The ones you are wearing in the picture as you dance with your husband is just darling!!

    All the best,

    Leticia Joy
