Mode Snow

Winter and snow call for fur! But of course, it must be faux or else. Accessorize with hot leg warmers, or should we call them Leg Covers, from Bootzwalla . Designer Lori Seliger developed this fun line of bell-bottom leggings, "helmets" (furry hats), purses and scarves using animal-friendly high quality faux-fur. Choose from a blend of cheerful colors and wild animal prints. This fashionable line has captured the attention of many celebrities including Cher, Jenny McCarthy and Beyoncé. Check out their website for more info on how you can get your own furry pair of Bootzwalla and rock them at your next apres-ski appearance. You're going to get so many of these "where did you get these?!" ~Mayta

What better way for Mode Snow to bring you the latest fashion news than by traveling to Paris to spot what's in the streets and in stores?! Yes, that's why I was offline over the New Year and only get to wish you happy 2009 today! I'd like to kick off the year by listing a couple of posts from '08 that feature the goods that were so hot in Paris: 1. Fur Hats ! For him and her, they all love it. 2. Droopy Beanies -- and as mentioned in that post, I owe the Goorin Brothers beanie, and got so many compliments from random strangers! 3. New Uggs -- funny enough, it was UK, USA and Australian tourists who were rocking these big time! I totally spotted the camo print on several occasions. 4. Spy Goggle - spotted these in the hottest sun glasses stores and the some of the sickest street fashion and second hand/thrift stores (so hip in Paris by the way) many of them being located around Etienne Marcel (awesome shopping area in central Paris). More to come on "Paris kno...

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

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...

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! This winter, the droopy hand knitted beanie is the way to go. From snow shredders, to band members or fashionistas... Watch out for oversized berets. Don't know about it? Woman, where have u been!! So stay up to speed, coz MODE SNOW is here to report on the latest of the bestest! ~Mayta
