Appropriate Snowwear


Just to warn all you girlies venturing out in a blanketed snowy London town today in their uggs. Don't do it! Wear trainers, wellies (especially uber-trendy Hunters, Kate Moss and Lily Allen wear them), hiking boots. Anything other than Uggs. After an hour or two of playing in the snow you will be soaked through. They are trendy, fashionable, useless boots made to look like snowboots. Anything made to be durable, waterproof and actually protect you can't possibly be that pretty, cute and fluffy. And no, the snow bunnyesque pom poms make no difference whatsoever!
And scarfs, scarfs are a very useless thing in the snow. Because they get wet, damp and drip down your neck. Not pleasent and they make you look like some arty gimp.
This is the one area of life where practicality is the order of the day and pretty, woollen things just get wet. Wear tights under your waterproof trousers. Befriend some nice man with lots of ski gear, nick his thermals, ski socks and gloves. Otherwise you will be COLD. And that just takes the fun out of snowball fights. And how can you flirt with nice men if you can't hack a good snowball fight? Oh and don't bother with too much make up, it will run.
