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.

Cuando me mudé a Miami, mi hermano mayor me aconsejó "viaja lo más que puedas...hay mucho que ver en Estados Unidos". Tengo que admitir que a mis 17 años, ignoré un poco su consejo...hasta hace poco. Este año ha sido diferente...después de terminar mis estudios totalmente, ya tenemos más libertad de viajar. Y aunque este año muchos de los viajes fueron por trabajo, me siento muy afortunada de poder trabajar desde donde sea- solo necesito internet y mi compu.
Este año, por nuestro primer aniversario, mi esposo y yo decidimos ir manejando a Georgia- en parte querÃamos huir un poco de la humedad y el calor de Miami. Lo más cansan fueron esas 7 horas para salir de Florida. Nos quedamos en un publito muy pequeño llamado Rabun Gap (que queda casi en la frontera de Carolina del Norte). HabÃa mucho que ver, muchos parques nacionales y paisajes espectaculares.
Nuestra primera para en Rabun Gap fue un parque llamado "Talulah Gorge". Y aunque llevé muchas opciones de looks (aprovechando tener la maleta del carro y no preocuparse del sobre peso), opté por unos jeans vino, un suéter cómodo y un toque de estampado con esta bufanda de leopardo. Finalmente agregué mis botitas SOREL y estaba lista para explorar. Admito que soy un poco torpe pero estas botas son la mezcla perfecta entre fashion y a la intemperie (la suela es de goma asà que no me resbalé ni una vez!!).
Me encantó poder ver los diferentes colores en las hojas, los riachuelos, las cascadas...todo demasiado bello. Espero que disfruten las fotos! BESOS!
