Snow Boots By El Naturalista

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

The snow has arrived leaving many of us completely unprepared. For the artic like conditions that we are experiencing in the UK at the moment, the most practical type of footwear has to be warm boots with a good grip. In deep snow taller styles of boot are a good choice. For some it is also important no matter what the weather that they have a minimal impact on the environment.

The eco brand El Naturalista at Spartoo make the perfect eco friendly shoes for winter and keeping warm in the snow. All of the designs are concieved with the greatest respect for the environment using materials like vegetable tanned leather and natural rubber. They also have practical and comfortable soles (these boots were made for walking!).

Organico Fimi

This boot has a sheepskin lining and attractive lacing detail. It is also gathered at the top to keep your feet extra warm.

Inuit Fogh

This traditional style of laced up boot is inpired by the Inuit and so perfect for the colder weather.

Nido Trambu

For a more versatile style of boot that will work for more than just snow and cold weather.

Looking stylish in the snow can be a difficult task. But a great pair of boots to tuck your trousers in to can help you to look incredibly stylish. They will also help to stop you slipping over on the ice (not a stylish look)

Recycle Unwanted Christmas Gifts on Posh-swaps.com

Christmas is such a happy time of year when we get time off work and time to spend with friends. The chances are that you will also recieve a fair few presents and possibly some that you are never going to wear or use. When it comes to clothes, it ca be very difficult to buy for some one else and wrong sizes and inappropriate styles are just two of the problems that you may encounter.

There is an element of guilt involved in not liking or wearing a piece of clothing that some one has given you as gift which often results in them being stored in the wardrobe for a few years before being thrown out or donated to charity. If a piece of clothing that has been given to you doesn’t fit, it is always worth checking to see if the reciept has been kept allowing for an exchange. Another idea is to swap it or sell it on Posh-swaps.com. That way you don’t really lose out, you get a great piece of clothing in exchange and if anyone asks you can just say you swapped it because it didn’t fit.

Set up an account today and list your unwanted Christmas presents (clothes and accessories only) for free on Posh-swaps.com now.
