Snow Bunny Chic, Hot Looks For Cold Weather

The winter season is in full swing. And that means it's time to hit the slopes. Skiing is such an exhilarating sport and one that I've been learning for the past 5 years. As much as I love the sport itself - the anticipation that builds while your on the lift, the thrill you experience as you first rush down the mountain, the peace of mind you have as you find your rhythm and skillfully maneuver your way down to the bottom - I really enjoyed buying all the gear that comes with it.

Seeing D&G's Fall 2010 collection revived an excitement for hitting the slopes and looking as stylish as possible. Their collection was filled with traditional winter motifs but paired with unexpected pieces like a snowflake sweater bodysuit and reindeer full body all in ones. So to get you ready for ski season, we've gathered some fashionably chic ski gear essentials to not only keep you warm but also looking your best as you ski down the mountain slopes or lounge in front of a fireplace in the lodge.

Muks High Fashion Wedge MukLuks

Filed under: Shoes

Traditionally worn by Canadian Aboriginals for hunting in the snow, Mukluks have taken a turn to the glamorous side and are now being worn as day and even evening wear by fashionistas around the globe. Muks' Autumn/Winter 10/11 collection draws inspiration from the seventies bohemian rock era and aims to be the most high fashion collection of MukLuk boots yet.

The Glam Rock Collection boasts trendy studded suede and luxurious fur, plus the boots themselves come in an assortment of shapes and sizes. The Wrap Muks (shown here) are one of the best selling designs and feature fur wrapped around the leg with ribbons of criss-crossed suede that tie in a bow on either side. Wrap Muks come in tall, short, and (their newest incarnation) Wedge styles. Yes, you can get a MukLuk with a heel.

I would not have thought that 'MukLuk' and 'high heel' would go together but it actually does work. The first ever "Wedge Muk" features a cross-like nailhead studded pattern on the toe and more studs on the suede straps and along the top rim. The studs are subtle but very pretty and the overall effect evokes real winter glamour. $295 - $395
