Stylish Snow Bunny

This year I am finally going on a ski trip! And it’s going to be at Whistler!! I used to ski and snowboard all the time as a kid. But fast forward 10 years, I’m pretty sure I am going to be terrible now. I’m still on the fence about actually going skiing, so we will see how I feel once I am up there. Might just be fun to play around in the snow and see the sights!

But since it’s been so long since I've been in actual snow I no longer have any well fitting and stylish snow clothes. Thus requiring me to go SHOPPING! Here is the ideal outfit I came up with that assures I will be warm and dry on the slopes! And of course includes sequin Ugg boots...I can't go anywhere without a little sparkle!!!

Now feeling more confident… all I need is some rental gear.

This year there has been an array of tech products coming out that are both fun and very functional. I personally can’t live without my iphone and ipad and am a die-hard apple fan! And come from a tech-ie family! Both my parents and siblings have those products too, so it’s been hard to find some other things that might be nice to get them. Although browsing online I found some awesome stuff for under $200 that will definitely delight the tech-ie in your life on Christmas morning!

Back to Basic

I am in dire need of a new basic black dress boot. I have practically worn through mine and they are looking quite shabby these days! I am really interested in a wedge boot since they tend to be slightly more comfortable and are a good style that goes with everything. I’ve been on the hunt for a few weeks now and haven’t found that perfect pair yet! But with payday and an wide open weekend I am on a shopping mission!

But here are some contenders I have found that I want to check out!

Vince Camuto

Pour La Victoire

Report

Not sure if I will want to spurge for the Pour La Victoire… but just in case they are amazing, I’m keeping an open mind. Giving Christmas gifts are over rated right! Hehe!!

Broke or Choke

When shopping for shoes I always seem to find exactly what I am looking for... but with a price tag that doubles, triples and even some times quadruples my budget! Not that I am broke, but I just don't have the funds to spend a month's rent on a pair of shoes. What can I say I have a taste for champagne, on a beer budget!! 

So this fall I am determined to find some of my luxe shoes at an affordable price that I won't choke over!

Here are some of my loves right now that I am eyeing for fall....
