Winter Boots: Your Essential Gear for Cold Weather Adventures

Recently, watching the award-winning movie "Society of the Snow" made me think deeply about what I should be wearing when flying. I asked myself, "What would be an appropriate outfit if you have to be on a flight?" In case of emergency, it is best to be prepared. I won't be going somewhere snowy soon, but I believe it is necessary to dress right if you're going for a cold-weather adventure. I'm not just talking about climbing on icy slopes. For instance, you can wear BJ boots if you are going outdoors during colder months.

Those boots are waterproof ankle snow boots. What's great about them is that they protect the foot while keeping it warm. Plus, they are comfortable to wear. And if you're into fashion, which I know most of you who read my blog are, don't worry; you can easily style them.

For those of you who will be enjoying some snow, I believe you must check if your winter boots are still good. I'm no expert, but I know proper footwear during the cold season is paramount, especially when temperatures go low. High-quality winter boots will protect your feet from frostbite and keep your feet dry. I mean, who wants to have their feet soaking wet? Not me.

Winter boots can be worn as everyday footwear if you are also one of those who live in cold climates. They are a practical and necessary part of your wardrobe. Hence, you have to look into the material of your footwear regardless if they are pricey or if what you have are affordable winter boots. Boots with sawtooth rubber outsole are great choices since they have warm faux fur lining. They are also known to increase traction, giving you comfort, especially if you will be walking for extended periods.

Depending on the brand you choose, winter boots can be expensive, but they are great investments. When shopping for a pair, consider your specific needs and the activities you have in mind. That way, you will narrow down the type of pair you need. 

Vintage Footwear: A Timeless Treasure for Women

I've been listening to classic songs since I discovered that Air Supply will have a concert in our city. Apart from my favorite jazz music, I've heard some that mirror the glamour of the roaring twenties. All the sounds and beats got me thinking of my current fashion style. It inspired me to sport some retro-inspired pieces in my daily outfits, with vintage shoes for women leading the way.

What I love about vintage shoes, regardless of whether they are classic Mary Jane shoes, which I super love or colorful leather shoes, is their undeniable charisma. They look effortlessly chic and classic, alleviating the overall look of anyone who wears them. I also love how they evoke an adorable sense of nostalgia in someone's look, which can be styled easily and endlessly. Don't you love it when you can wear and style your shoes in many ways? I do!

How do you style vintage shoes? I love pairing them with fun socks and shorts, skirts, or dresses. I choose those with a bit of heel. I love wearing heels, and I'm so happy that most vintage shoes for women have them. This is one of the reasons why I'm also checking out a variety of them. Although I've mentioned that I have a thing for Mary Janes, I'm also falling deeper in love with Platform Heels and Kitten Heels.

Authentic vintage shoes are a bit pricey, but we're now extra lucky since a number of online shops and boutiques now sell more affordable versions. Just be sure to check if the materials being used are sustainable and worth the money. The best thing about opting for authentic vintage shoes, though, is that you are contributing to the sustainable fashion industry. All you need to do is care for your shoes properly to prevent any signs of wear and tear.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or a simple gal looking to try something new, vintage footwear is a treasure for every woman.

Cozy and Chic: The Allure of Fluffy Slippers and Boots

The winter months are now here, which means winter is coming in some parts of the world. I live in a country with a tropical climate, but we also enjoy a great amount of rain over the next few months until the first chapter of the year. I’m not sure how others stay comfortable during the cold weather, but I do it with my good old cardigan and my squishy fluffy slippers boots at home.

I’m such a fan of my fluffy slippers because they provide my feet with the comfort that I need. Plus, I got one with a very cute design. It’s not that special, but it makes me happy. Anything that makes us happy is worth keeping, right? Those who will be enjoying a winter wonderland will also love it. I mean, who does not love the feeling of soft, fluffy footwear?

I personally think ladies fluffy slippers are wonderful foot companions and must be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. Why not, right? Any lady of any age can rock them, whether at home relaxing or running errands. You may think they are just for function, but there are available ones in the market today that are sleek and fashionable. I have seen some that can be styled, whether you are dressing up or dressing down. They can also be worn according to one’s style preference. Whether it is maximalist or minimalist, I believe there’s fluffy footwear available.  However, I want them to be edgy or cute since these two reflect my style. Still, comfort and quality must also be in mind.

Some of the things that I think about when shopping for footwear are material, sole, and style. When I was much younger, I only thought about how trendy my footwear was, but now, I’m into something I can wear many times and that can last me long. For fluffy slippers, faux fur or velvet are excellent materials since they are naturally warm. Also, is it just me, or is their texture just something to die for?

I also check the soles of my footwear. I want to make sure they provide me with the proper traction and support. Most of all, I want any piece that goes into my wardrobe to mirror my style, and I think that goes for everyone. Our clothing, whether purses or shoes, must make our hearts happy!
