Westbound Boarder

Rarely am I ever inspired by the fashion portrayed in Vogue-style magazines.  I usually find high fashion a bit too chic for my liking (I’m a laid-back girl, what can I say?) however, I was totally inspired by an advertisement in next month’s issue of Lucky.  The ad featured a Denver-based fashion blogger, Jenny Lee, wearing her choice outfit for fall.  With leggings, a plaid farmer’s T, and a faux fur jacket, her cute, edgy, yet 100% practical, outfit is the perfect combination of hip and fun, but still cozy, day-off-the-mountain type style.  Most of all, I’m in love with her Sorel boots!  And for anyone who lives in chilly climates (so, basically, anyone except those of you who live in SoCal) I think these boots will quickly emerge as the new must-have of the season.

The boots in the ad prompted me to go check out the Sorel site, and I picked out my two favorite pairs – the women’s Cate the Great ($200), and the women’s Caribou ($110).  The Glacier‘s also look great for the mountain, though I can’t decide if I’d actually wear these out or not.

Man do I love shoes and boots… perhaps a little too much for my budget   What boots are you going gaga for this season?

Mondays … some of us love them, some of us loathe them … but some of you will like them just a little bit more when you hear about this awesome giveaway we have in store!

I love products and crazy fashion trends that are new and different, so when I heard about this new line of comfy meets trendy boots coming out of Surf Expo from Cushe footwear, I had to check them out!  Cushe (that’s pronounced “cushy”) is a line of footwear, born in 2004, that makes stylish, but more importantly, comfortable, outdoor-inspired shoes.  Sandals, shoes, and boots; they’ve got ‘em all.  But the best part about Cushe footwear?  They’re giving away a pair of boots this week on Westbound Boarder!
