Not Your Average Snow Bunny.

Lately, a few conversations have gravitated towards the subject of trips to the snow. However, this heat (FYI: it's been about 90-ish degrees lately) in LA makes it hard to think about snow clothes and/or dressing for somewhat cold weather. Personally, I haven't been anywhere near snow for about the last 10 years or so which means that the closest thing I have to "snow gear" are UGG boots... in which I only wear in absolute extreme cases (i.e. quick late night trips to the store). Which brings me to the idea that I should finally invest in a snow jacket and snow pants. If you know me, you'll know that I DO NOT want to look like a cutesy little snow bunny (i.e. pink and white cutesy snow get-ups). That's just not my style.

I recently hit up a local Big 5 Sporting Goods store this past week and absolutely fell in LOVE with a red snow jacket by TripleNickel (555). Seemingly, this particular brand is NO WHERE to be found online. Which may just bring me to actually "invest" (it's by no means an "investment" considering I'll probably only wear it a handful of times a year if I'm lucky) $130 on the jacket. Here's the jacket (and me in it) in all its glory...
