Back to Winter!


Hey!  What happened to that heat wave we were supposed to have?  I was expecting 64 degrees on Sunday, and instead I could see my breath and the city was swallowed by fog!  So much for that.  Just goes to show you that winter can attack at any time!  Got your snowboots ready just in case? 

Confession: I hate most women’s snowboots.  They’re all solid black and utilitarian-looking (read: boring!).  But I would never foist those upon you, deputy shoe fairies.  Here are some snowboots that would actually be fun to wear!


Now we’re talking!  The Regalia Rain Boot by Dirty Laundry is beautiful in bronze and brown.  The upper is made of rubber and faux leather; the 18-inch shaft is lined with faux fur; fits calves up to 16 inches around.  Yours from DSW for $40.


Okay, these are cool!  The Plimsoll Tall Leaf by Bogs is waterproof, of course, but it’s also anti-microbial.  Plus they’re temperature rated to 40 degrees below zero, so you’re set no matter how cold it gets.  Also available in brown, a sort of brick color, and the ubiquitous black; your choice from $130 from Shoebuy.


The Juggle by Nicole is a classy snowboot made of stone-colored suede, trimmed in faux shearling and encircled by three faux leather belts buckled in gold.  The shaft is 17 inches; the shaft circumference 15.5 inches; the heel says four inches but I know that ain’t right!  Also available in a black faux leather; your choice for $90 from 6pm.


How cute are these?  The In Love by Volcom are lined with pink fur, but my favorite part about these are the colored eyelets on the sides that hold the lacing!  They sort of look like Fruit Loops, don’t they?  Also available in a black boot with light blue fur; $50 from Zappos

Now there’s no excuse not to be ready when the snow comes!  It is winter, after all, lest we forget.

Stupid winter.
