Sorel Boots
Dec 30th 2011, 11:00

The Bottom Line

Recently, I had an opportunity to try out a couple pairs of Sorel winter boots. Oftentimes cold weather boots are too clunky and just plain ugly. With these Sorel boots, you can keep your feet warm and look stylish too.

Pros

  • Waterproof
  • Insulated
  • Very comfortable

Cons

Description

  • Removable, anatomically contoured footbed
  • Molded rubber outsole
  • Temperature rating: -25 degrees F
  • Tootega: Waterproof soft suede and full-grain leather
    Pakua: Waterproof suede and shearling
  • Tootega: 8-inch shaft
    Pakua: 6 1/2-inch shaft
  • Tootega: Cordovan, Honey, Black, Red Rover
    Pakua: Stout, Toast
  • Tootega: $129.95
    Pakua: $139.95

Guide Review - Sorel Boots

The first boot that I tried was the Sorel Tootega (Buy Direct). This boot combines full grain leather and suede into a cute ankle boot. They come in four colors and feature a plush faux fur lining.

The thing that I liked most about these boots was the comfort. I wore them on a long hike in the snowy mountains. The footbed contours to your feet and the boots feature Thinsulate insulation. Therefore, my feet stayed warm and comfortable throughout the hike. Another aspect is that they are very cute. They feature a rounded toe, two ankle strps and the aforementioned fluffy fur.

The second Sorel boot that I wore was the Pakua (Buy Direct). Like the Tootega, this is also an ankle boot that is built for wet, snowy weather. Instead of the straps, it has a cute tie and it's also slightly shorter than the Tootega.

Made from waterproof suede and featuring a shearing lining, these ankle boots were perfect for hiking yet they are fashionable enough to wear on the city streets. I really appreciated that they were breathable, so I didn't find my feet getting sweaty at all.

If you are looking for warm, comfy, chic winter boots, I definitely recommend both of these Sorel boots. You can find them at many department stores including Nordstrom, as well as online shops such as Endless, Zappos and others.

Sunglasses for Your Face Shape
Dec 27th 2011, 11:00

When shopping for sunglasses, don't just pick the hottest style. Your perfect shades also have to be the right shape for your face. Follow these basic guidelines to find the best sunglasses for your face shape.

Best Sunglasses for Round Faces

David Yurman 'Waverly' Square SunglassesCourtesy of Nordstrom

Drew Barrymore, Kate Winslet and Christina Ricci are some of the many celebrities with round faces. With a round face, the width and length of the face are nearly the same. Wide cheeks give an overall circular appearance to the face. Go with the opposite shaped sunglasses to balance out a round face - so pick square.

Best Sunglasses for Square Faces

Tory Burch Round SunglassesCourtesy of Nordstrom

Celebrities such as Demi Moore and Hilary Swank have square faces. A square-shaped face generally means that the width of your forehead is in line with the width of cheeks and jaw. To soften the lines of a square face, round or oval frames are your best bet.

Best Sunglasses for Oval Faces

MARC by Marc Jacobs Rimless Shield SunglassesCourtesy of Nordstrom

Women with oval faces are the lucky ones - they can where almost any shape sunglasses and pull it off. Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba, Courtney Cox Arquette and Tyra Banks all have oval faces. Experiment with all the latest trends from oversized Jackie O's to colorful rimless shield sunglasses.

Best Sunglasses for Rectangular or Long Faces

Michele 'Sun' Oversized Square SunglassesCourtesy of Nordstrom

Rectangular or long faces are about the same width at the forehead and just below the cheekbones. They may have a high forehead or a narrow chin. Gwyneth Paltrow and Niki Taylor are typical of these face types. Skip small sunglasses, which will make your face look even longer. Large square frames will help even out the proportions of your face.

Best Sunglasses for Heart-Shaped Faces

Ray-Ban Retro Cat Eye SunglassesCourtesy of Nordstrom

With a heart-shaped face, your forehead is the widest part of the face and you generally have a small pointed chin. Forget about sunglasses that sit tight against your cheeks or are too oversized. Cat-eyed frames are a hot choice or aviators with rounded upper corners. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ashley Judd, Michelle Pfeiffer and Rose McGowan have heart-shaped faces.

Best Sunglasses for Triangular Faces

The triangular face is the opposite of heart-shaped - narrow cheekbones and temples, and a dominate jaw. Kathy Ireland and Minnie Driver are prime examples of a celebrities with a triangular-shaped face. What you need is a pair of sunglasses that will balance out your face. Oversized oval frames are a good choice, as well as classic aviators that aren't too small.
