I love January! My birthday is this month, and my Mom always made a huge fuss for birthdays, so I loved when the first of the year rolled around. I found this photo from my 14th birthday, loved the Snoopy card (probably from my big brother John), and the homemade cake with baseball figures on it! In those days it was all about baseball and ballet.  I think the cake was chocolate with seafoam icing, a staple in 1976.

And I love winter! The snow, skiing, sledding, snowman making, all makes me happy.  It's a little disconcerting when you walk into a store and bathing suits are displayed when I'm in a winter coat. Let's face it, most of us are wearing our boots now! So we have highlighted some winter trends, to buy now and wear now.

The Tall boot: My favorite is the Clarks Ingalls Vicky. Not only is it my favorite boot footbed, but you can choose the width for the foot and for the calf.

Lace Up Boots: Same great footbed as above, now with a trend right upper, gotta love the colors in the Clarks Ingalls Lace. 

Leather and Suede: This will be a huge trend next year. So what you purchase today, you will wear into next fall and winter - like the Dayton from Earth Origins.

Active: Get ready to see this trend everywhere! It's huge for 2015. I like Ryka's Catalyst suede shoe because it makes me want to get moving!

Happy shoe shopping!
