You a sneaker luvR? Then these boots from Nike are calling out your name. Nike has infused their snowboard boot with the flares from their legendary & iconic Air Force 1 sneaker model. The result is Nike's Women Snowboard Boot "Zoom Force 1." Available in chocolate here above... and white here below. Turns out, one of my local shops carries the goods! Check out Nike's store finder for the closest retailer near you! I am ready to give an award of awesomeness to every chick I see out on the slopes rocking these hot boots. ~Mayta

Love this grass roots creation--can you feel the FUN in these hats? FUNhat is a treat from beloved Salt Lake City, Utah. The goods are the produce of friendship and love for riding. I say to that: ladies, there are many of you out there who share just that! So snag 'em off your dude's head. The resulting beanies are colorful, simple, but fun and made in the good old US of A! The Pom-Poms design shown above in White, is also available in Olive/Gold and Royal Blue/Classic Red. Tough to find though... so I recommend checking them out on MySpace and dropping them a line. ~Mayta

Layer up just so you can layer down... Don't do the mistake of forgetting the details of what's under the snowboard jacket... and even further under! Don't just wear PJs or some old jogging pants... Big no no. Sessions is here to the rescue. Check out their Diffusion Tie Stripe Crew in Zinca Pink ( shown here on the left ) ... or in Teal Tie Stripe ( here on the right) . Available at SNO*CON , these sweet layers feature: 100% polyester, wicking thermal knit stretch flat locked seams thumbholes articulated body drop tail hem custom sessions bird screen So sexy on up, to sexy on down. ~Mayta

Pimp your ride with hot stomps from Demon . I must admit that I have not rocked a stomp since I owned my first board... But after getting into riding one-footed and trying out one-footed tricks, I am definitely looking into these handy adhesives. What's best, they are now available in a fun variety of styles and colors! Above shown is the Heart model. The Butterfly model here on the right and the Vixen model here below are sure to please your lady heart. A touch of funk from the choice of colors and your board is pimped and ready to ride. ~Mayta

If you have to cover up those gorgeous eyes of yours, then it better be with the sickest goggles. Anon 's Solace model is designed to comfortably fit a ladies face. Just choose your print carefully. I like mine to be on the wild side. The Zebra print is definitely my fav. Some of us girls happen to find a better fit in men's models. The Anon model that happens to fit me best is the Realm. I am thinking of opting for these this season: the Vintage Realms. Of course, that will be one of the "must have" pairs in addition to a pair reminiscent of the radical 80's... ~Mayta

Mmm Yum Mmm !! Not only do these furry hats keep your head warm in style, but they are animal friendly! Get the fur without the hurt! These faux fur beanies are so stylish, they make sure you don't wear a dead animal on your head. Kanabeach! Bair Cap in fur from the Circus Collection features Print bear on the side. Your best bet is getting the goods from their eShop. Another one of my very favs for headwear: Goorin Brothers of course! Here featured is the Kham model . Faux fur with woven retro lining. Available here on their site.... Or check our Karmaloop for the goods~! FurRRrrRrRr! ~Mayta

A recipe for success: brims & beanies! Just love the warmth of the beanie but love the visor of your cap? Well, there's the best of both worlds in these colorful options from our fav brands. BettyRides Ruby Beanie is available in Slate (as shown on the model), Berry (as shown above) or Fern. The knitted beanies featured here are definitely a great summary of the trend in brimmed beanies: a heavier and bulkier yarn weight. This winter, I am definitely going to be wearing more Spacecraft goodies than ever before. I am sooo loving their site, their designs and the hype! Just check out their website and scroll through their models featuring their products. Good fun and good times guaranteed ;p I love the El Abominable Brim!! Seriously, that's the name! (here shown on the left) And there's nothing "unequivocally detestable" about it! yup, that's the definition of "Abominable"--in several languages actually. Every winter--it is inevitable--I turn t

How sick is this bumper sticker "Save the Ta-Tas"? It is even more meaningful this month: October is Breast Cancer Awareness month .

Love them stripes? Well, they're here this winter and in a variety of fun color combos. They are often slapped onto basic hoodies and tees, but I like to pair my stripes with stylish streetwear. This blend of stars and stripes is best interpreted by KanaBeach. I know I am going to make a stop to the Kana store in Paris and get myself the Strike pullover (shown above) from the Biologik collection. It's the coolest blend of hem, soya and cotton. For you pink ladies, the Wyome pullover from the Circus collection features a large buttoned collar. To get the goods, KanaBeach has an online shop, or check out if you are lucky enough to be near one of their retail locations. I know about the one in Huntington Beach, CA. ~Mayta

Now, let's talk about hotness. Married to the Mob a.k.a. MOB, is pretty much IT! I was always complaining about the lack of sick women's streetwear brands and jealous of the variety of goods available for guys... Well MOB has set out to change this and bring you the hottest street/urban inspired NYC fashion. Here featured is the MOB Only Jacket in Pink, a silky printed windbreaker style zip up jacket with snap shoulder and neck tabs. A little bling bling from the gold metal zipper and hardware.

Yup, I own it and have been getting compliments like there is no tomorrow! So get your hot Goorin Brothers hat, like NOW! Every winter, a beanie style steps up as "the" winter steez!

See what happens when two hot brands put their creative minds to dream together? Von Zipper offers some of the sickest goggles & sunglasses and Skullcandy 's headphones have taken over the slopes. Throw the two ingredients in blender, high speed, let cool & wear the steez. This hot piece is available in the above Chakra model, the Dojo model here below and the Feenom model (not shown). It is more than protecting your eyes in style, it's enjoying your fav tunes like a rock star. ~Mayta

They're back! First introduced under Burton's Analog brand that last winter (2005) Analog designed and carried women's apparel, these sexy fun gloves have been appearing under their B By Burton line these past few years. This here was my pair of women's ninja mittens from Analog; a lucky find for Winter 05/06-so hot! Sad story... They were snagged away from me after briefly leaving them unattended in the lodge. Too hot of a mitten I guess... The sweetest features included the separated index finger, which made nose blowing, nose picking, finger pointing, iPod music changing, zipper opening, cell phone calling, picture taking, strapping in... easier than a regular mitten. Even funkier was the zipper on the index finger. You get the functionality of the glove and the warmth of the mitten all in one. No wonder they were snagged away from me... :( They have been getting sexier, more technical and practical with the years! These here were B by Burton's 2007 introducti
