I would live in Vancouver just to wear rain boots...

And for the amazing food and culture of course! It was "supposed" to rain in Calgary today which was pretty exciting... The smell of rain.. sure sign of spring... But nope! Another dump of the fluffy stuff. I always want to purchase a swanky pair of rain boots each spring but can't justify them in Calgary  when we are normally trudging around in Uggs or winter boots for the majority of the season... But a girl can dream/even justify them right ?! Here are some of my favs:

Andies loves her rainbows.. And even has a matching pair of runners to match these colorful Coach booties!

LOVE LOVE LOVE ... SO classy and you could wear these with ANYTHING!

Who doesn't love Marc?

Girly Ed Hardy dandy's

HUNTER Rain Boots seem to be what all the stars are raving about... Hunter boots come with fleece inserts in various fun colors for only $30! Okay I might have to invest....

Here's a pair that Jimmy Choo designed for HUNTER called "Huntress" sold for $115

I FINALLY WENT SHOPPING!

BAH! I've been trying sooo hard to not shop... I just got my kitchen done... new winter tires (what a crappy way to spend money... no fun.. they are not shiny at all), new fence etc... But with this snowy weather I HAD to purchase some boots to get me to work safe and warm. Right? RIGHT! Much to the annoyance of my husband.. This IS the one downfall of this shopping blog.. Good ol' Jammers logging in and actually seeing my purchases instead of me slowly integrating them into my closet and ripping the tags off... *evil cackle*... 

Here is *some* of what I purchased... Once the other items have been "integrated" I will post them.. BAHAHA

I GOT MY GREY BOOTS I GOT MY GREY BOOOOOTS!!!! I am SOOO excited and they are SOOO warm on this snowy, cold day. These are Emu's wool "Avoca" boot that I have had my eye on for a few weeks. And guess what? They were on SALE! *BLISS*... I got them from Town Shoes downtown for $119.. I think that is a great deal for Uggs. Emu is a much cheaper brand than the "Ugg" brand. They were regularly $149.

Here's me in them this morning... with my leopard print tights. James was  calling me a snow leopard this morning. HEHE! Uggs are best worn with no socks. They are warmer this way and were designed to be worn without socks. Sheep wool doesn't make your feet stink either. My first pair of "Uggs" I actually helped make in Australia when I was there.. They have this great "Eagle Wools" shop in Perth and I bought them before they were even a hit in North America. I was going to call and order a pair from there but fell in love with these.

I made sure to spray them with three good coats. I want to sleep in them and walk around in them foreverrrrr TEEEHEHEHE!

I got these sexy numbers from Spring Shoes.... On sale for $69 ??? YEE HAW! I love the lace up, good tread and darkened toe. Only downfall is they are fabric and not suede but thus the cheap price.

Here they are on the snow leopard this morn. Excuse the empty wine bottles in the background.. Had 'one of those days' yesterday. I've wanted brown boots for a long time. And they are quite comfortable as well.

I also bought these earrings at Spring for $7.99

I got these for $7.99. I love the way feather earrings look.

I almost purchased these BEAUTIES from Town Shoes... They are MIZ MOOZ boots. So comfortable and amazing leather. I love the toe and scrunched ankle look... I think they would match with a lot too. They were $255 though.. SEE JAMES??? I CAN SHOW RESTRAINT!!!!!

I want grey boooooots

It all began with one of my girlfriends showing up to our monthly "Foreplay Friday" event with these killer grey boots... and now I want some TooOoo.... Here are my favorites...

Versatile... My girlfriend Rochelle had a pair like this on last week and rocked them with so many different colors and looks

Love the shape and buttons on these.

How much fun are these?!

I think these Steve Madden's might be the favorite... Love the slouchy top

Fun for casual days ? Why do men hate Uggs? I guess they are not sexy.. James always threatens to burn mine.. haha! I like this pretty cable knit on these. Their unique!

Love the buttons down the side of these boots Kate Hudson is rocking

I wish mukluks like this weren't $300-400.. I think they're SO CUTE! And warm.. Nothing will make me go shovel snow off my car like Uggs!

Good for more dressier occasions/the office... I think these would be super sexy on

I love the strappy/buckle look

These are quite unique as well. I think they would look great with tights.

Two trends I'm rocking today

Happy Tuesday everyone! It sure is getting chillier out there... and with the colder air nylons, tights and leggings are making a comeback.. I am wearing a pair of knitted leggings I got from Winners for only $16.99 this weekend.

 They are so warm! I was looking for something that would allow me to still wear my fall skirts but be more durable than nylons which I seem to destroy in the first few wears.
The other trend I am wearing today is ankle boots! Ankle booties have made a huge comeback beginning last season and I scored these at The Bay for $30 last season. I buy a ton of my shoes there because they always have awesome sales on and tons of brands to choose from.. Not to mention I have to walk through the downtown Bay to get to other parts of downtown. Danger!

These boots are super comfortable.. they pull on and are faux suede which I like in certain situations such as trends or for winter wear so you don't pay more for them and they do not get ruined as easily.

Here are some more knitted leggings:

Leggings by Urban. I would worry about what shoes to wear with these ?

Layering leggings with warmers is really in right now

Cable knit leg warmers are all the rage in Europe right now

Here's London's Top Shop rocking the cable knit leggings

Fun "decorated" tights. Love the shine!

Here are some super trendy ankle boots for fall 2010. Great to pair with leggings or skinny jeans!

Not into sky-high heels? These would look great with skinny jeans for an edgy, rock look

These are Steve Madden ruched boots. Ruching is huge in boots this season!

Two trends in one: metallic and ruched ankle boot

BCBG for fall/winter 2010

I LOVE the layered flap on the top left boot... MAMA WANT!

Tuxedo-style shoes and booties are super popular right now

I really love these boots!!! I want gray booties!

Oh my... Leave it to Christian Louboutin to go nuts! Christian is famous for the red soled shoes worn by celebs

Fun fabrics from Top Shop. Wish we had one here!
