GREAT OUTDOORS OUTFIT// fashion


DRESSING FOR THE COLD

🎄🏂🎄🎄🏂🏂🎄🎄🎄

Holiday time is when some of us head outside, whether to go skating, tobogganing or skiing.  Nothing is worst than having cold feet or being cold. I can say I do know about is cold feet, having spent time living in a extreme cold climate with temperatures  minus 30s ,  its one thing i can say is not fun.

We were always out in the winter whether on hikes or skiing.  Staying warm and comfortable was very important .

So here are some necessary items that will keep you warm .  I should mention if you are out in the cold don't wear your jeans, they really are not warm enough and if get wet your going to be freezing cold.


HEAD to TOE outfit
  • SOCKS starting with the feet, a good sock   wool  mix or   other,  avoid cotton ones.
  • THERMAL wear is next, it helps to keep you warm and dry 
  • Fleece polar is also great to wear over , whether pants or top , it stays dry, repels water so won't get wet .  NOTE just don't stand close to fires as it will melt, especially childrens wear. Fleece pants are great for extreme cold  and sleeping in .
  • FOOTWEAR my favourite and most warm boots are Sorels, they are made to handle cold temperatures and will stay dry. The liners are removable , so you can dry them over heat.
  • PARKAS, down filled is  lightweight and warm,  other types  are those made with GORTEX, a breathable material . layers or zip out liners are also a good choice.
  • MITTS , TOGUES & SCARFS 


WOOL SOCKS for toasty toes  and a good fleece or sweater  for added warmth .




THERMALS  a definite needed item, under your pants







DOWN PARKAS  the ultimate  , for warmth , comfort and lightness. A longer version is great for keeping you warmer.






 A GREAT PAIR OF SORELS.....definitely. 
(I have a similar pair to these)





So now we are ready to head to the great outdoors.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
