UGH! Gorgeous white fluffy snowflakes inevitably turn into grey icky slush.

Over the holidays while up in Toronto, my beloved Proenza Schouler's got accosted by street salt!

The boot on the left is the "before" (see accompanying photos).

Not only was it 20 degrees colder up there (reversecommuter much prefers the tropical winters in Boston), but in Toronto the streets are covered in salt not sand. Does not bode well for gorgeous Italian leather...

VINEGAR to the rescue! Yup, vinegar. Inexpensive, normally found on fish & chips, vinegar.

Ta-Daaaaaaa!
