Outdoor Winter Outfit from Backcountry

Outdoor Winter Outfit

Updated: October 2020

As November rolls around, I’m excited about new adventures and getaways this winter! I’m gearing up for an active, but cozy holiday season.

It’s easy to want to cuddle up and binge-watch my favorite shows, but instead, I’m planning to get outside.

I just bought a Land Rover Defender 90— my DREAM car! I’ll be setting my sights on some of the best road trips in South Africa and Africa!

With the weather in Cape Town being SO unpredictable, I always keep a few of my winter outfits in my arsenal. A puffer is essential in the windy city of Cape Town!

You may know by now that I’m a fan of Backcountry. They have an awesome selection of outdoor apparel, winter apparel and all the essentials you could need for your big adventures and the moments in between.

Check out my outdoor winter outfit from Backcountry + other winter style essentials!

My Outdoor Winter Outfit from Backcountry

I love a good puffer jacket—not only do they come in cute colors and different styles, this Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket is versatile, and made with lightweight and compressible 800-fill Traceable Down. In colder weather, I always opt for fleece-lined leggings over denim for comfort and warmth.

And then, depending on whether I’ll be in snow or just a colder climate, I’ll be sure to pack 1 to 2 pairs of winter boots. These Sorel Ainsley Conquest boots are my new favorite for keeping my feet dry and comfortable in winter conditions—those ones are selling out fast, but these boots are similar!

To keep things extra toasty, I keep my YETI Rambler Mug to keep my coffee, tea or soup piping hot.

      Traveling during the winter is a most amazing experience because you can enjoy your trip and no need to worry about the food and sweating hot. Its all about beautiful nature and cold wind. All you just need a hot coffee every morning to get warm up. Well, I really like your winter outfits while traveling and especially your jacket, you look cool.

    I wanted to make history come alive for Ollie and what better place than in Philadelphia, USA? #MarriottHotelsPartner
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
    Our stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown created the perfect opportunity to really explore the heart of this historical city. From the Liberty Bell to Franklin Square, we really dove into the heart and culture of Philadelphia.

    After a day of exploring, we were treated with some of Philadelphia’s finest delicacies at Marriott’s Thirteen Restaurant.

    We stayed cool on our trip by bowling a few games at Liberty Lanes, the hotel’s on-site, retro bowling alley. Did I mention there was even an arcade??

    And after a long day, we were soothed by the many comforts and amenities Marriott has to offer.

    Traveling with little ones isn’t always easy, but being a Marriott Bonvoy member truly
    makes it so much smoother.

    From comfy cribs already in the room to friendly staff who actually get what traveling with a toddler is like, Marriott Hotels takes so much stress off our trips. It’s the little things that make a big difference when you’re on the go with a little one!

    Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

    This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.

    As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌

    It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.

    This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛
