What I Wore: Snow Day

If there’s one thing I like about winter it’s snowboarding. Especially when the snow is fluffy and plentiful…that’s when landing on your butt doesn’t hurt as much, and pushing yourself is a little bit easier. Last weekend, le boyfriend and I decided against a long drive to Blue Mountain, and in favor of Centennial Park’s proximity to the city…and cheaper rentals. Considering that neither one of us is a snowboarding pro, Centennial Park’s hill did its job, and we spent a few cold hours sliding, falling, and having fun.

It was a second time I wore my new snow suit, and I really loved the fact that no snow found its way into and down my pants…keeping my bum warm and dry. Sure, I might look like a snow-bunny straight out of the 80′s, but the comfort of not having to pull and tug at my jacket and pants, made it all worth it. As far as the rentals go, though…I really need to invest in a pair of boots and a snowboard…because let me just say that those rental boots don’t smell like roses, if you get what I’m saying.

Do you ski or snowboard? If so, what’s your go-to outfit for a day of winter fun? Got suggestions on snowboarding equipment? Share in the comments.

I Wore: Snowsuit – O’Neill (Winners); Mittens – Kombi (Winners); Boots, Snowboard – Rossignol Rentals

To Buy or Not To Buy: Miss Marc Edition

So on my latest Holt Renfrew jaunt, something impossibly adorable caught my eye! A Miss Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt, featuring the oftentimes grumpy cartoon character with her boyfriend (?) sitting on a ski lift in full ski gear. Super cute for any fashionable ski/snowboard addict out there, right? But this being Marc by Marc Jacobs, the t-shirt cost $65! Now the question is this…worth it or not so much?

I left the store empty-handed that time, persuaded by my friends that dropping that much money on a cartooney t-shirt (however adorable) was not a smart thing to do. But now, a week later and with a snowboarding trip coming up, I find myself still thinking about my little grumpy Miss Marc. Can’t find an actual photo of that t-shirt, but the photo above should give you an idea. So what say you, lovely readers? Yay or nay?

Update: And here’s the reason why I couldn’t find a photo online for a bit…Mr. and Miss. Marc Ski Lift Tee launched exclusively at Holt Renfrew as the new limited-edition Miss Marc Hearts Canada issue. The Canadian in me says…go get it!
