Give those tall boots a rest; mid calf boots are taking over this season. From the name you can tell that these types of boots run a little shorter than knee-high boots but are taller than ankle boots. Unlike the contour-hugging tall boots, these are also usually made wider at the top to provide the space needed in order to tuck in leggings, jeans, or tights.

Mid-calf womens boots come in a number of colors, materials, and styles. These are your new basic all-purpose boots, perfect for occasions such as: [Read more…]

Ready Those Scarves for the Winter

By

As the winter season sets in the north, it’s time to check your wardrobe and make sure to have your winter clothes ready. To keep you from the cold, you need to have your jackets, sweaters, hoodies and boots out now.

One important clothing accessory you also need to use is the scarf. This item can do great things to your outfit and make you look fashionable as well.

Scarves are available in a wide range of styles, colors and patterns today and you can get them at low prices. They’re great in creating a stylish look without spending so much.

This clothing accessory can be made from various materials as well. Common materials used are soft wool, cashmere, silk, sheer, woven, jacquard knit and even fur or just the faux fur.

Because it’s so light, wearing a scarf should be very comfortable. Apart from keeping your neck area warm during the cold weather, it also provides an accent to your attire whether it’s a casual or semi-formal one.

To create your own style, you can wear the scarf in different ways. You can just let it hang on your neck or if you have a longer one, make a loop around your neck once with the ends simply hanging. You may also make a knot if it’s still possible.

Another way to use it is to make a single knot (ideal for the sheer and silk material) and position it either on the left or right depending on your preference.

Tying the scarf to create a bow or ribbon (just like you’re tying a shoelace) in front is also a great way to accentuate your top and overall outfit.

Creating a one-sided tie is also nice to look at. Do the step as if you’re tying a shoelace but only making one loop instead of making a bow.

You need to choose carefully because it’s very important that you’re comfortable wearing them and they can be worn with almost any of your outfit.

Many people think that a snow boot is the same as a winter boot. They are both referred to as boots and have the same goal of protecting your feet from the cold but each has different uses.

Snow boots

A snow boot is water-resistant, has a high side extending above the ankle and has a rubber sole. This is meant for use in snow hence should be sturdy enough to protect your feet. You can use this whether in just an inch of snow or even in deeper wet snow or mud.
