Something a little lighter!

So, after the last post I'm going to take it down to something not photography related at all. I have been searching for a new winter coat for the past couple years. Not willing to just buy for a good price but wanting that perfect coat. Well this winter one of my friends started up a new blog that is set up to help people just like me. Here is his blog. A couple weeks ago I gave him this task...find me a good shell, and make it cute! Easy right? Well not really since I had been looking for 3 years! But in a couple days he managed to give me some great ideas and deals and sure enough I just received my coats this week, and they are fabulous! I am so happy. And so proud of myself for doing some online shopping. It was awesome!
Here is the base layer, such an awesome light but warm coat. And for once, actually has long enough sleeves and body to fit my monkey arms and exorbitantly long torso! Love the tight fitting cuffs and the hood. I love hoodies! So impressed...

Here is the shell, yes it is a tad bright, but I think it turned out pretty awesome. My other choices were black (blah) or bright yellow (yikes), but I am pretty happy with the green. Bright enough to stand out a bit, but not fluorescent. Initially I was trying to find the black in the other coat, but it seemed it wasn't available anywhere so I switched to magenta. I'm so glad I did. Adds just a bit of color to the green and looks great.


I ordered the Green coat from Altitude.com and got it within a week and a bit. The magenta coat was a bit harder to find, but I finally rounded one up from Monod's in Banff online store. Both were on sale, and I didn't have any issues! Great service.

Haven't tested them both out on the slopes yet, but hopefully soon. If you need some help finding gear, check out Dave's blog. He can even help all you diva's out there looking for the perfect gear! See you soon, hopefully I'll be wearing my new duds and you'll be able to judge for yourself!
