Early Winter.

It's the EARLY WINTER season in Melbourne now.
It's already snowing in the mountains already.




Something I've noticed during early winter season:
Birds have stopped flying around in the sky. Usually they would come and in pairs and stay under the Sun. Today, I saw a number of birds hidden in the branches of trees.

Anyway, I wanna share some ideas in keeping yourselves warm:

1. Pretty Ponchos




Why ponchos?
Loosely knitted ponchos have breatheable hole which are ideal if you don't wanna get stinky hot! It basically wraps around your body to keep you warm.
Ponchos are good because if can also be worn as light jackets. Even if you're not going out, you can still wear ponchos to relax and watch TV.

2. Warm Boots




Normal fashionable boots are BIG NO-NOs during winter. What else do they provide besides fashion? NOTHING!!
In fact, your toes will freeze and harden and you will find in painful to walk although you are wearing your best comfortable sneakers.
We need a pair of warm boots. WARM. Winter boots are different because of their inner lining. They are usually made out of wool. Wool, since the olden days has been well-known of the warmth they provide. It is a smart insulator because it keeps you warm without overheating your body/feet. (The fact is that people in the desert wears thin wool clothing to keep the cool from steering away from the body. This is because in the wool fibre there are tiny pockets of air that provides breathability.
Bonus point: It is mold resistent, which means no extra care needed for your boots!

UGG is a good brand of winter boots. It is made of out sheepskin and lightweight. Besides, it doesn't keep your feet sweaty, which will lead to Hong-Kong feet!

Better keep yourselves warm!
