First snow fall...

It was wishful thinking to hope that the snow free days would last through December. The drive into work this morning wasn't too bad because I imagine lots of people are on holidays with the Christmas season close by. There are a ton of people at work taking days off because they can't carry over them over into 2010 so it's either use it or loose it! That's why I think the roads weren't as crammed as it could have been. The snow also turned into rain half way through my drive, making things easier. However when I got to my parking lot and trekked into the building, my socks & pants were soaked from snow getting into my shoes, reminding me that I still need a good pair of winter boots

Last year I debated investing in a good pair of boots. I ended up going through the winter freezing my little piggies because I never bought that pair. This winter, I am in the same spot thinking about a good pair of winter boots that will keep me warm & dry.

I still really like the North Face Hailey Boot below from last year retailing at a whopping $165!

A new favorite this year is also the North Face Payton boot retailing for $140.
I still can't stomach the retail prices for these even though reality is if I want warm + waterproof, I am going to need to bite the bullet. The plan for the moment is to hold off for a few more weeks and see if I can get them in the US when I am there for the holidays. I am crossing my fingers for my wallet & toes.

In the mood for boots

I've been debating spending obese amounts of money on a pair of boots that will keep me warm. I have the stylish ones that I look good in but do nothing for my dainty toes when I am outside for hours. I have a couple in mind but can't justify spending ~$100 & don't want Uggs. I am not an Uggs girl. If I see a good sale on any of these, I am there....also almost half of my 2009 clothes & beauty budget will be blown but that's a different story.

Hey, where'd these guys come from? They look so hot that it almost makes freezing your toes worth it.
