I LOVE my rainboots.  They are so practical for a walk with my little pug or a quick jaunt to the grocery store on a wet day.  I decided, however, that practical doesn’t have to LOOK practical. So I searched high and low for the perfect pair of limited-edition-Jimmy-Choo-Hunter look-alikes and finally found them.  My black reptile-textured rubber wellies work with so much in my closet that they have a very real and proper spot on my shoe rack.  And you can find your perfect pair, too!

Winter’s just about here and that means a lot of us will be heading to the slopes.  While I love snowboarding, I definitely don’t like the toll it takes on my skin. I’m always left with tight, dry, wind- and sunburned skin after a day on the slopes – not pretty!  After much trial and error, here are some tried and true ways to keep your skin baby soft on the slopes.

One of our adorable travelistas recently inquired about what to wear ice skating at Citi Pond in Bryant Park, NYC, this weekend.  And it’s going to be coooold (okay, by my Gulf Coast standards, 30s is fa-reezing!).  So how to look chic when you’re gliding across the ice (and trying not to fall)?

If you’re like me, you crave something different ever so often.  This season, I am obsessed with the cute choices of winter shoes and boots that are out right now.  It’s a bummer to live in a place that fluctuates between 45 and 80 degrees on a daily basis or I’d have quite a collection of snow-ready kicks.    But check out how funky and different the ones below are.

Apres ski can be defined two ways, depending on who you’re talking to.  There’s the outfit that you put together right after your last run of the day on the slopes, and there’s the outfit that you wear any other time of the day while on a ski vacation.  Most of the time it’s a blurry line between the two as one of the first things you’ll want to do is chill (excuse the pun) out and enjoy the last rays of sun with a beer or head straight to dinner.  Thankfully, most ski apparel retailers have just the right balance of ski / street wear to make the transition easy.

I love the freedom that winter sports gives you to brave the cold and get active! I remember my first snowboarding trip and how much fun I had picking out the perfect outfit. Being the city girl I am, I had to have the city-slicker tweed print jacket. (This year, I have my eye on Obermeyer’s leopard-print jacket below!).  This year’s trends, especially in jackets, feature a fantastic array of styles and colors that make it hard to choose just one.

When the temperatures start to drop, the first thing I reach for are my fuzzy slippers.  Unfortunately, I can’t wear them out in public without getting crazy looks from people. Fortunately, sheepskin boots were invented.  But how do you wear them without looking like an overplayed celebrity? Read the rest of this entry »

Looks like fall is here for many of us and with it comes fall showers.  Before you reach for that tradeshow umbrella, think about spreading a little cheer with a more fashionable choice.  It can make a rainy day just a little brighter for everyone. Read the rest of this entry »
