Tucker’s plaid wrap jackets are warmly made with 100% wool. They look great paired with a white tank top and skinny jeans, or, spice up your plain old little black dress by wrapping one of these jackets over it. Perfectly harmonized with funky jewelry for a night out with friends or just casual with leggings for spending time at home, these jackets are as versatile as they are comfortable.

Gaby Basora, the designer behind Tucker, says she designs her prints based upon by National Geographic magazines, books and travel keepsakes. These beautiful coats are made with a series of colorful plaids, as well as stripes, zig-zag prints and solids. And, if you want a lighter jacket, you can go for linen, cotton or wool.

For its versatility, style and comfort, we recommend the plaid-wrap jacket as one of the must-have items of thecurrent US and upcoming Australian season.

In particular, we noted the Joan of Artic boot for women. These are made with waterproof full-grain and suede leather and finished with a faux leather cuff. They come in sierra tan, hawk or black, and we envision them perfectly worn on a trip to Chamonix over a pair of dark skinny jeans or with a pair of wool leg warmers and a skirt. Besides the style and durability of these boots, they also come with a removable recycled felt InnerBoots that can be replaced with fresh ones at anytime.

Over at the men’s department we loved the style of the ostrich Caribou Premium 1G. New for 2009, this boot is a luxurious pick for living the high life … or just shoveling the driveway! The ostrich leather and vulcanized rubber shell are seam-sealed to make it completely waterproof. The thick rubber soles insulate the feet from the cold ground and give the wearer the added bonus of making him a little bit taller. Men can wear these with dark jeans or black ski pants just slightly tucked in to show-off the ostrich, or pulled over for a more mainstream look.

Don’t leave junior in the dust! Kids need quality footwear too and we noted Sorel’s Rainbou as a simple and stylish boot for a boy or a girl. They come in a variety of colors and are an easy-on, easy-off piece of footwear. This is a two-in-one boot because the liner provides warmth on cold days, but is removable so they can be worn as lightweight rain boot on warm summer days.

While Sorel has been around since 1962, we love the updated look it is bringing us for 2009. And we are not the only ones with our eye on Sorel, Vogue TV just recognized the company on their “60 Second to Chic” show, calling the boots a timeless classic. From a walk outside on a snowy night to an après ski party in Cortina, these boots are a recognizable combination of sturdiness, lavishness and style.
