The Pillow Boot Is Back!

We love these boots!  Canadian boot company Cougar just launched a gorgeous remake of the iconic Pillow Boot that was born in 1976.  Chances are your styling mom had a pair if you grew up in the 80s.  Ours did!
This boot is what we call functional and fashionable.  It’s extremely comfortable, warm, durable enough for our crazy weather, and looks pretty great too.  This boot in particular is a limited edition and retails for $270, but other styles start at $225.  Forget the over done Australian UGG boot, show your Canadian chops with this tan leather, calf-high lace up classic.  The red lining gives it a perfect touch and looks great with the tongue out.  Ah-maze.  JD

After The Storm

There was much anticipation for the MASSIVE, DEBILITATING, CITY-STOPPING snow storm that hit southern Ontario yesterday.  Julie and I rated this “storm” a 4 and our comments were left to, “meh”.  Never trust the weather man/woman.  To say the least, I was prepared in my Canada Goose Expedition parka, Cougar waterproof snow boots, cashmere toque and Ray-Ban wayfarers.

There are a number of people (stuck up Fashionistas) who love to hate on the Canada Goose parka which is understandable, as they now dominate the Toronto outerwear market with 1 out of 5 (SDP observation) people wearing them who pass by.  It is easy to reject or vocally denounce the mainstream but, the point of the matter is that when it comes to Canada Goose, they are the warmest, most functional jackets you can buy.  Canada Goose may not be run-way fashion but rather really, really warm – more of a forcefield to the sub zero temperatures that Canadian winters bring.  Also, when you look at the inside tag it will read, ‘Made in Canada’.  How many items in your wardrobe will read that nowadays?  Canada Goose is an international success – and I love my Canada Goose parka.

Cougar Boots

“For The World You Walk On, Love What You Wear”

In continuation with JD’s Cougar rain boot post, I had the pleasure of receiving these winter boots in the mail.  When photographing the Cougar Boots on a brisk fall day, I had to admit I overheated almost immediately starting from my toes. These 100% waterproof puppies will keep you warm in temperatures of – 29 degrees Celsius. Taking note Montreal, Winnipeg and Calgary? Once proving to be functional throughout our cold winters, I was amazed by how good they look. With patent detail and lined with rabbit fur, I can trek these boots across the city and through ski resorts. CM

The rest of my outfit:
*H&M Bomber
*American Apparel Leggings
*Hudson’s Bay Company Olympic Edition Toque
*Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses
*Aritzia Cotton Turtleneck
