With winter literally upon us, it’s only a matter of weeks before you’re on your first snowboarding trip. Whether you’ve been before, or are a first time boarder, this article has relevance to you. When it comes to gearing up for a day on the mountain, 9 times out of 10, we mess it up. You’re either so padded up that you can’t bend down to do up your bindings, or you freeze into a sitting position on the lifts because you’re so cold. It’s seldom you’re in a happy middle ground. Don’t stress, just take this advice, and dress accordingly for the slopes this winter round.
I like to refer to it as layering, in the most non-fashion sense possible. Don’t get caught out just packing on a pile of hoodies and hope to be cosy and comfortable. Layers …

Ok, maybe ‘cutesy’ is the wrong word. Too preppy and Posh Becks for my liking but I’m thinking that bulky boots, 5 layers, 3 hoodies, goggles and a beanie is not doing much for those hips. You need to find a middle ground in the cold to keep you feeling fly.
I avoid cold places for 2 reasons. 1. I’m crap at snow sports and 2. Dressing for the cold is freaking stressful, there’s just so many layers.
I recently embarked on a ‘cold’ trip and spent 4 of the 5 days indoors, in sub average accommodations. I lay in bed with the heater blaring, ate chocolate, drank hot chocolate and read why celebs don’t eat chocolate. All of this I could have done at home minus, the travel expenditure. So in the name of good faith I have taken it upon …

Years back, clichéd and kitch shirts were considered cool, but then every HnM type of shop caught on and jumped onto the band wagon, and before you knew it, every second person you passed on the sidewalk was sporting a tee that shouted “I’m nobody’s bitch” or, “what are you looking at” on it. Even our blonde lady friends Paris and Madonna wore these ridiculous pieces of fashion. But soon, like anything that gets too big and commercialised, the coolness disappeared from the tee’s, and after a while it was only over-weight try hards in hot pants and roller blades rocking out in them.
What is sad though is the concept was a good one, thus fortunately for people who loved the ideas and slogan shirts from the beginning, but worried too much about their reputation to buy one from the …

Okay, so I will be the first to admit, I spend far too much money on clothes. I love them. I love to buy new stuff and wear it once and discard it. I love fashion. I love customizing my own stuff. I love dressing up smart and putting on make-up and I love having favorite items that I wear until they fall apart. But, and this is huge, it was recently brought to my attention, that this immature gesture to bring back high waisted pants and shorts, is not going away.
Basically, several days ago, I realized I only had two decent pairs of pants left in my cupboard. So, off I went, with mission and purpose stamped all over my being, in search of some black, skinny jeans. You’d think it would be easy, black is a common color, …
