Into the Mountains with Northside

Thursday, January 14, 2016


So I am one of those people that just loves the snow! Growing up in the Pacific Northwest did not allow for too many a snowy winter, but after 3 years in Ann Arbor, Michigan for Grad School, I can say that I am a genuine snow lover. Now that I am back in Seattle, it is such a necessity to head to the mountains once in awhile to experience that snow white bliss. And snow requires good footwear, like these oh so fashionable winter boots from Northside USA. Yes I did just type fashionable and winter boots in the same sentence, and for good reason! The Northside Bishop Boots are both fashionable AND functionable, who knew that could be possible?!

On New Years Day, S and I, along with my trusty Northside Bishop Boots, headed east out Interstate 90 and into the mountains in search of snow. There had been rumors we might see a white Christmas in Seattle, and we had a brief moment of hope, but nothing that really stuck. So instead of waiting around for the weather gods to bring us that white angel dust, we took it into our own hands to load our little city car with winter clothing (my Northside Boots included of course!), hot chocolate and snacks, and head into the mountains. We'd heard rumors of amazing skiing conditions, so we knew the magical cold stuff couldn't be far. 

Less than an hour out of Seattle and success! We found snow! So off on a little New Years Day hike we went. Discovering winter waterfalls, snow laden rivers, and such a beautiful winter wonderland in Ollalie State Park. 

The Northside Bishop Fashion Boots are true winter style, with a nordic pattern and faux fur cuff, yet they still keep your toes warm and toasty, which is absolutely an essential when hiking in snow. We we were out for a few hours and my feet were not cold once (I can't say for the same for my hands and quickly realized I needed new gloves, any recommendations?) My Northside Boots kept me warm and cozy the entire time! It was my first time wearing them and I didn't even have to break them in, not a single blister or uncomfortable spot. Warm, comfortable, and fashionable from the start, what more could you ask for?

Northside USA is based out of Marysville, Washington, just north of Seattle. Northside's mission is to create products that allow customers to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer with friends and family (right along with my New Years intentions, how about yours?!). You can find my Northside Bishop Boots and other Northside footwear at Amazon, online shoes Fred Meyer and Big 5, with select styles available on their website. Perfect for the slopes or high street this winter!

And here's the best part, I've partnered with Northside USA to giveaway a pair of these fabulous Northside Bishop Boots to one of my followers! You can find all the details over on my Instagram!

  2. Northside boots are so cute! And all the reviews I read about them are wonderful! I live on the east coast and when we get a good amount of snow. These boots would be perfect! I'm always out with my dogs and still have not found good boots yet! Thanks for the chance :)
