Snow Bunny

I've been skiing since I can remember, and snowboarding since my dad told me skiing "isn't cool anymore" when I was about 14. And although I am accustomed to the active snow world, I have never felt very cute in my snow clothes. Being the fashion lover that I am, my lack of confidence in my snow style has made me very insecure on the slopes. 

But this season things are changing! I finally went snowboard pant shopping with the main criteria being stylish! After shopping around, I realized that name brands make a huge difference in the design and look of snowboard pants. Surf brands, like Volcom and Roxy, had the latest trends and cutest styles for being a trendy snow bunny. The surf brands seem to have done the best at this by taking the silhouettes and lines that are most seen in their popular street styles and channeling them into their snow designs. 

I found some great deals at a snow outlet, but was less than impressed by the styles. Everything there was no name brands and function over form. Don't get me wrong, function is important with snowboarding gear, but the style and form are just as important for such a cool and trendy sport. so I ended up finding a great sale on the top name brands in snow like Burton, Volcom, Roxy, and 686. I bought hot pink Volcom pants with a low-rise boyfriend jean type of look, deep back pockets, and a single black printed pocket. To go with it, I got a blue Roxy jacket with straight lines and all the great features and pockets of a good snowboarding jacket. 

Now, I finally feel like one of those cute snow bunny chicks carvin' up the slopes!

Black Milk Clothing

I have recently been brought into a world of obsession and a great brand community that is Black Milk. A couple of girls close to me we're generous enough to share this little secret with me!

Black Milk Clothing is based in Australia and is exclusively online. Most known for their amazing leggings, Black Milk produces a very unique product of printed fabrics cut into various garment styles.

Black Milk is somewhat of a cult brand in that its fans create small communities all over the world! Thousands of girls come together to share their love for these sexy printed leggings, dresses, skirts and bathing suits!

I am now a proud owner of Black Milk Pink Galaxy leggings and a Purple Galaxy dress. Upon acquiring these, I immediately fell in LOVE! Amazed at the fit and feel of the clothes, along with the "ooo-aaah" wow-factor of the print, I am hooked. Every time I where one of my galaxy pieces I get so much attention and I can't help but love that! They create this awe-struck interest in people because they are so unique to anything else out there in the fashion world. It's not high fashion, it's not an amazing shape or silhouette, it's not beauty in the fabric choices and construction in a traditional sense. It's unique for the idea: Fitted clothes with striking images printed on them.

I could go on, but instead I will leave you with some pictures!

P.s. My computer has been a little freaky the past couple months so this is my first post done on the mobile app. We'll see how this goes...
