Today marks 30 days until my annual SKI BUNNY WEEKEND with some girlfriends.  I await this weekend each winter as it seems to be the only thing I enjoy about the later part of Winter.  I am currently ready for Spring and chirping birds, but with Bunny weekend as we endearingly call it on the horizon, I pull down the toque and the boots up and charge thru!

Now I may be a skier (it is making a come back I tell  ya ;) ) deep in my heart I am always jealous of the amazing fashions that snowboarder ladies have that us skiers don't have.  And not to mention they can walk in their boots!! hahaha  So when Burton paired up with Manitobah Mukluks and designed a snowboarding mukluk my jealously soared again! hahaha

So BOARD BUNNIES, add these to your hillside essentials this winter, and make the rest of us waiting in line with you at the chair lift green with envy!  With the tradition of mukluks and Burton behind the boot you know it will be top notch!  I bet you may even board better! lol

To purchase them online go to {manitobah.ca} for $279 CAD.

When a trend happens, EVERYONE gets on the train!
And this Fall/Winter had these amazing studded Chloe boots on everyone that could afford them!  Me, not so much!  However, with them being from the Fall 2008 Chloe collection it gave mainstream retailers time to play catch up and develop their own version of this insanely popular ankle boot.

Don't let the cost of a trend derail you from doing it!  Just shop and keep an eye out!  Below are some mainstream shoes that MATCH this wardrobe staple!

These are the 'expensive' Chloe studded ankle boots.

Why spend $1300+ when you don't have too!

To the untrained eye, they will never know the difference, and you can be PROUD you saved some serious doe!

This time of year when boots are an essential element I always resort to rolling up my jeans.  Sometimes they don't look good over them or in them.  When I saw the picture of SJP wearing boots and jeans I couldn't help but notice this AWESOME ROLL UP!  I am totally going to have to try this!  It adds some great dimension to a traditional fold.

Get Rolln' people!

I think it is 'Canadian' thing to do vacations in the winter.. go figure..lol
When I was in Ottawa a few weeks back I dressed for the weather yet pretty for all the tourist photos.  Spending 8 hours walking in the cold you have to be practical, 'pretty' goes out the window quickly.
Here is my attempt!

On a recent shop I spotted these great riding boots at {ALDO}.  I tried them on and to little dismay they were super tight on the calves; I would never be able to get a skinny jean inside.  I considered buying them and having them stretched, and then thought, I will wait a bit to buy them instead.  I also thought they reminded me of a boot I had already seen before. 

So to the interweb I went and VOLIA, I was right, they are a great version of this Chanel Riding Boot!  I love when expensive things are tangible!
