Brrrr...ooots!

It's that time...the snow has fallen and frantic moms are searching for warm boots for their kids! What makes a good boot? 

Warm feet, dry, and cute

....doesn't sound like a lot to ask, but ask just about any mom in Canada, and I'm sure you'll find they HATE trying to find good winter boots for their kids. 


Sorel is a name that is often tossed around as a good brand name. But how many of you have spent the extra $$ only to have your kids crying that they have popsicle toes! 


Ugg has become the signature brand for cozy toes...and in my opinion has become an iconic symbol of cold weather! I LOVE how warm sheepskin boots keep my feet...but what's the deal with the super smooth soles? A couple years ago I was outside doing supervision at recess and a soccer ball made it's way towards me. Being the super cool substitute teachers aide...I decided it would be fun to do a full out wind up and kick it back to them...well, I wound up...right on my butt! The kids loved it all right! Stupid Uggs! 


SO to add to the "perfect winter boot" requirements...I also must find boots with grips! 


TAADAAA!!!

In my mind...it's worth spending just a little more to keep their toes on their feet and their bums off the ground! 

Happy shopping! 

Joeffer Caoc and My Filosophy Night of Giving and Fashion

A red carpet event was held last night in the midst of beautiful people, food, clothing and Lexus cars! It was a fabulous event put on my Tannis  Davidson(My Filosophy) in support of The Stollery Childrens Hospital, a cause I'm always happy to open my wallet to!

Delicious appetizers flowed steadily through the crowd as we enjoyed live music from Kathleen Kelly and rested a moment on the pretty furniture by Elegant Touches! The fun didn't stop there! There were raffle tickets to buy, Melting Pot treats to sample, Photo booth fun to entertain, and a silent auction to peruse.

The fashion show(MC'd by Catherine Dunwoody) began with samplings from the My Filosophy store! I eagerly feasted my eyes on the beautiful tweeds, pretty bows, lovely bags and boots, dresses, cardigans, leggings and cozy plaids! A great display of fall fashion perfect for Edmonton!

Later on in the evening we enjoyed the great opportunity to see Joeffer Caoc's spring/summer 2012 collection! The volunteer models did such a great job showing off his collection of light airy colors and fun sporty fashions. I especially enjoyed the pops of sparkle!
