Lets be real lockdown and this pandemic has impacted all things style and wardrobe.

With not many places to go and very little able to do it has been all about comfort and making the most of the things we can do and the right things to wear to do them.

In addition to yoga clothes and self care sweats galore I have been living and loving my outdoor gear to get out on the bright sunshine snow days.

NOIZE Gigi Faux Fur Trim Quilted Parka

USD 129.97 CAD $260.00 at Hudsons Bay

This jacket has an environmentally friendly and humane insulation alternative, its recycled fill sets the bar high as it uses innovative technology from their partners at RePET and REPREVE. The insulation fill is made entirely from reclaimed and repurposed recycled plastic bottles. The result? A light-weight high-performance fill, keeping you warm no matter your definition of cold. This is my second NOIZE parka (I have a shorter one as well) and let me tell you this jacket really does keep you warm and toasty and keeps the chill away.

It is completely Water Resistant through all that Canadian winters can throw at it including rain, snow, or sleet. I love its construction and its use of vegan fur which is a modern and cruelty-free alternative. The vegan fur is luxuriously soft and vegan approved by PETA. This parka gives me all the comfort and warmth without sacrificing style and while doing no harm to our beloved animals.

Khombu Colyn Tall Lace-Up Waterproof Boots
USD $62.86

I have worn my Khombu boots for years. They are warm cozy and really comfortable to stomp around in the snow. They are waterproof and have great grips on the sole. They fit true to size but if you are looking for a little more room for extra thick thermal socks or for some foot warmer I’d go up a size.

Carhartt Acrylic Watch Hat Toque

CAD $26.99

There is a reason this hat is so popular. Born in 1987, the A18 Watch Hat quickly rose as an icon. It was originally designed as a workwear essential, it can now be found all over for both fashion and function. The thick acrylic yarn makes this hat keeps your noggin warm inthese cold months while it is stretchy, soft to the touch and most importantly has a stay put fit.
