I absolutely love wearing boots…but let’s say that living in Miami, we (Nico and I) didn’t have the right boots for our winter getaway to North Carolina.
The weather during mid-December in North Carolina can be a little unpredictable- we weren’t sure if we were going to get snow BUT we knew there were a few waterfalls around the area and we were excited to go see them.
So I headed to DSW, our family go-to for all things shoes and THE boot destination with all the styles you might need for any occasion. I had two pairs in mind: rain boots and snow boots.
RAIN BOOTS
In our bucket-list, we had many waterfalls to visit around the area so I knew it was a must for Nico and me to get rain boots. And I honestly have been eyeing these Hunter boots for a while, especially for those crazy storms in Miami (we have them more than frequently).
But I am IN LOVE with Nico’s boots, they are super easy to put on and off (and as he is getting more independent, he loves that). He was very excited when he saw the space print and EVEN more excited when he realized they light up. They also comes in a super cute dinosaur print.
SNOW BOOTS
We really wanted to see snow BUT we weren’t as lucky. However, another thing in our bucket list was to go tubbing in a close-by area, so we got to wear our snow boots even if just for a little bit.
Mine are SOREL and I know they are a classic and will last me many seasons to come.
Nico’s are Columbia and he has been wearing them a lot, especially during the colder days of our getaway.
I ordered our boots online and picked the curbside option, but the store layouts have also been redesigned to support social distancing.

And Chicago said Good-Bye to us with a gorgeous snow fall. This was just right before heading to the airport, but we had to stop (right in front of the hotel) and take pictures. I didn't see snow until I was 15...and every time I see it, it's just so magical.
The only downside to these pictures was that, since we were about to leave, I wasn't wearing any thermal underwear or tons of layers. I don't think you can tell how cold I was from these pics haha.
Hope you like them! XOXO
Les cuento que como fue antes de salir del aeropuerto, solo tenÃa estas capas (nada de forro polar ni 3 suéteres debajo). Creo que disimulé muy bien el frÃo que tenÃa jaja.
¡Espero que disfruten las fotos! ¡ABRAZOS!

Nemo, the blizzard, apparently decided to hit NYC at the same time I did. However, I'm so happy it changed Manhattan's scenery to WHITE! I've seen snow just a couple times in my life; if I'm not mistaken this was just the third one (so you can imagine how excited I was). So excited that we woke very early just to see the snow before it turned into a brown mess because of the cars. We first headed to Central Park- which was breathtakingly beautiful, like out of a Hollywood movie. Kids were sliding down the small hills, dogs running and playing..even some people were skiing. I really just got dressed to be able to be outdoor for a long time- so it was all about layers ( I had another jacket underneath, plus two sweaters- tights underneath the pants and knee socks). I really want to thank my friend Valentina from Vahife Boutique (with the cutest accessories) for letting me borrow this amazing black coat, I would have frozen otherwise. Hope you like the NYC pics!! XOXO

Nemo, la tormenta de nieve, llegó al mismo tiempo que yo a Nueva York. Asà que después de que estuviese nevando toda la noche, nos levantamos tempranito a ver Central Park todo nevado. Son pocas las veces que he visto nieve en mi vida; creo que esta fue la tercera- se podrán imaginar, parecÃa una niña chiquita. Ese dÃa lo agarré de descanso en cuanto a shows de moda, y nos fuimos a turistiar por la ciudad. Nueva York la conozco en verano, pero en invierno de verdad que es otra. Lo que más me gusto fue ver a la gente diviertiendose hasta más no poder en el parque; los niños deslizándose, otros esquiando, los perritos corriendo... y aparte todo blanquito, parecÃa de pelÃcula. Sobre el outfit: este fue más por comodidad que por "moda"- sabÃa que iba a estar muchÃsimo tiempo al aire libre y tenÃa todas las capas posibles para aguantar el frÃo. Mil gracias a mi amiga Valentina de Vahife Boutique, que me prestó este abrigo negro (el cual me salvó del frÃo en todo el viaje). Espero que disfruten las fotos de NYC! Un abrazo inmensisÃsimo!
