Booting up for Winter

The same friend who introduced me to these handbags recently said she was on the hunt for lined black winter boots. We all feel very sorry for her and this horrible dilemma. Nothing sounds worse than trouncing around the Alps and Europe...

Sarcasm and jealousy aside, I had to help a friend out. Especially since this mountain girl loves herself some winter boots. I'm not sure if she's looking for hardcore snow boots or something for everyday conditions. I found a mix of both. But it wasn't easy. There's definitely a market for someone to make some really incredible, fashionable, waterproof boots. Until then, these options will have to do.

Sorel has really picked up their game in the last few years. I've been a fan since I was a kid - it was part of the winter uniform - and my loyalty has continued on strong. I actually own both of these boots and love them equally.

Tivoli - $100
Slimpack Tall Riding Boot - $210
Regan blogged about the Canadian company Pajar last year in advance of her trip to Austria and Italy and they don't disappoint. These are probably my top picks of the boots I found.
Atlas - $395
Majestic - $395
A search on Amazon led me to these options...
Sasha Knee-High Boot - $262.50
Juliana - on sale for $199
Brighton - $119.99
And if you want to go the ultimate snow bunny route, these Tecnica's are kind of amazing.
Skandia Classic - $400
Creek Fur III - $460
Which is your favorite pair?

Prepping for Winter

We're taking a 2 1/2 week trip to Austria, Italy and Germany this coming February. So despite the fact that it is still summer, I have winter on my mind. During my week in Sun Valley I came across these cool boots by the Canadian brand Pajar. They are the perfect blend of fashion and function, and although the print is clearly a Burberry knockoff, I still think they are pretty cute. This pair was %50 off, but unfortunately they didn't have my size.


Since I wasn't familiar with the brand, I thought I would do some online digging. Their website doesn't seem to be working, but Amazon has a wide range of Pajar products for both women and men. Here are a few of my other favorites.




Do you have a favorite boot brand? I am a Sorel girl from back in the day, and my loyalty remains, especially since they are local to Portland.
