Cougar Boots recently sent over a pair of their limited edition Pillow boots, a re-release updated from the original created in 1976, for review & styling. While I'll be the first to admit that they aren't the most feminine pair of shoes to ever enter my wardrobe, they are significantly better looking than many snow-appropriate styles (and oh so cozy!). I've also always had cold extremities in the winter even when wearing two pairs of fuzzy socks and lined leather boots. Since these Italian made, Canadian classics are waterproof and said to withstand up to a chilly -24 degrees Celsius (that's -11F), I for one am thrilled that I'll get to experience my first winter in recent years where I won't have my toes frozen off!
p.s. Loved reading your responses re: blogging & shopping here. Glad to hear that so many of us feel the same way!
Wearing: Cougar Pillow boots (c/o), Zara scarf (similar) and skirt (similar), Kensie top, Joe Fresh jewelry and gloves from local boutique

Luv the outfit, especially the gloves and sweater! I agree, these boots are more suited to extreme winter temperature (puffed parka & toque?)

LOVE how you wore them Jen, I totally considered wearing them with black tights too. I'll have to give it a try when the temperature cools down (didn't it feel weird putting on winter boots in 25 degree weather?) I'm really impressed with them though, I think they'll be so great in the winter!!!

Very nice!! You put the outfit together very well. I like the touch of animal print too! That was the first thing that caught my eye.

wow nice autumn wear! this could def transition into winter (alongside, a good attitude to battle the cold in a skirt). lovely boots! and what a great pop of pattern with the leopard scarf. I could've used a fine pair like those when I used to live Boston...

Hey Jen,
I noticed that red lipstick looks so good on you.
I should try it sometimes. Hopefully I could rock it like you do :D

You never disappoint, Jen! You're the only person I know (and possibly on earth) who could make a pair of boots like these look truly sophisticated. I love the pulled together fall basics you've paired them with, and your leopard scarf is just perfect! I can't wait until the temperature is really right for fall looks like this!

I have to say, these boots look SO adorable on you and they are so unlike anything else I've ever seen you wear! Haha, too cute! I am a major fan of being warm & dry though, it makes such a difference during our brutal Canadian winters! Love how you styled them - the leopard scarf is adorable, and hooray for being skirt twins!! :)

You must have been so warm taking these pictures! I love the outfit though, you did a great job making the boots look ladylike.

Such a beautiful look Jen! I love the natural tones of this look and how you styled the shoes with femme pieces. They aren't exactly super feminine themselves but they'll come in so handy over the winter that's for sure. Hope you're having a great week so far love :)

I love your outfit Jen. I really like how you paired black, white, green and leopard together. That's given me some ideas. The boots look really comfy. Think you did a great job incorporating them into your outfit.

okay girl, i LOVE that it was your Dad who took these shots, they're awesome! how rad to have Cougar send along these swell kicks, you've worked them into such a usually chic look with a lot of charm. nice play on various textures - i can almost feel the leaves start to crunch under my feet seeing this Fall contemplation. xoox ♥
