When nylon and rubber collides

(ZARA cardigan & skirt (from Seval) / Old Navy tee / H&M trapper hat / F21 necklace / Cougar Boots snow boots)

What they've been telling you is true. East coast winter is damn cold. We started to get some flurries on Monday and it has accumulated to 10-15 centimeters as of today. Perfect timing to try out the snow boots that Cougar Boots sent me for review. Warm? CHECK. Comfortable? CHECK. Stylish? Not bad, at least they're not UGGS-ly looking ;) The company claimed that these snow boots can withstand temperature as low as -30C (or -22F). Since it's only -12C outside, I can't confirm (yet) that it's true. But I did step into a pile of snow to see if they're waterproof. And they were, thank God! In a bad winter condition like this, just keep the stilettos indoor and wear these outdoor. Your feet (and butt) would thank you ;)

I'm hating this East Coast weather too. Imagine what's in store for us if it's already so cold in Dec! -_-

I love your snow boots, they look so warm and comfy. Now I want a trapper hat after seeing your photos :)

I need a pair of boots like those!! I've been wearing my timberlands for 2 years and I need something else to keep my feet warm. It's sad that we're already getting snow.. I had to pack away my summer shoes and flats.

So envious that you're going away to somewhere WARM soon.. please take me with you. The cold and I do not get along!!

Lesley said...

lucky!!! I actually really like those boots, esp since they aren't the ugg variety. :-)

Anh said...

You are SO cute! Those boots look perfect for winter!

bestie said...

They're AMAZING. Seriously. And I think they're actually pretty stylish, considering!

My mom's been telling me about flurries over there, too, and it sounds like they're having a lot of fun with it. Haha.

Were your feet warm in these Kristy?? I'm looking for a pair of warm boots this winter since I don't own anything other than leather or wellies and these don't look that bad (I am already prepared to sacrifice style for this haha). Let me know!

have fun in Asia if you don't post before then!!

That hat is soooo cuuuteee! :D I love how everything is so monochromatic/winter-ish and then you added that floral skirt :D I saw your last post with the stripes! And I love it! I haven't paired my vertical pin-striped skirt with a striped top, but I think I must do that one day :)

Would definitely want to try out that pair of boots since it gets really cold here in Winnipeg. :)

Those boots are ten times better than Uggs.

They're not especially stylish, but they definitely are better than UGGS.

I always wear snow boots or boots themselves outside, and bring heels to work to walk around in at work... and then put the boots back on before I go outside.

XX.

You look comfy and cozy! The boots are definitely waaaaaay cuter than Uggs. I bet they'd look really cute with leggings and a chunky knit.

Aw you look so supercute, I love how you paired the girly floral skirt with the winter hat and tough boots! They do look as if they can stand -30 degrees and they do look warm :)

Marie a la Mode said...

The boots look cozy!I love your hat, I have a similar one but it's much larger than yours and I haven't worn it yet, I'm waiting for the perfect outfit to wear it with ; )

I love the boots and the florals together. Too cute.

Kellie W. said...

Those look like the perfect snow boots!

Kate said...

I am SO pro being warm & dry in winter! I remember the days of wearing heels through the snow, but those days are long gone and these look MUCH more appealing! Loving the hat on you!!

Anna G said...

I think we have to sacrifice some style to stay warm and dry. I'm not wearing heels at all after this weekend. It's going to snow so much!

Sunny said...

Those boots are absolutely adorable!!! Love the outfit, chica.
