Channel Your Inner Snow Bunny Not Polar Bear

In the summer we wear less clothes. We're tanned, bronzed and blissful. Sundresses, bathing suits, flip flops and not a care in the world. In the winter we are bundled, pink, static-y and always searching for another layer.

Put the Snuggie, Elmer Fudd hat and long johns down! Here are some adorable and warm winter solutions to keep you fashionable and frost bite free!

Put a hat on!

Not all women like wearing hats or think that they look good in them. I'm a bit of a hat junkie. There are so many styles to pick from. Most importantly, a hat keeps the heat in and keeps you warm. If you really can't do a hat, there are these adorable headwraps/headbands that will keep your ears covered and warm. I love this beautiful headband. Tons of these on Etsy. I love getting hats from places like TJ Maxx too. They always have unique choices, great brands and a good selection.

Frost bitten toes are not sexy or comfortable

Sexy boots are great but they are not going to prevent frozen toes! Frost bite is not fashionable. Just because you need to stay warm doesn't mean you can't look great too. Now, I love these. They are a small fortune. BUT...they will get you through a few winters before they are worn out. They are warm and stylish. I'm going to ask Santa for them because my wallet already said "HELL NO".

Wrap it up!

I am a HUGE fan of scarves and pashminas. I must have at least 30. A scarf is a super easy way to add an accessory that compliments your skin tone, there by making you look better. Perfect! Maybe your black coat isn't your best color, add a gorgeous scarf and you've instantly brightened your face. There are so many styles to choose from too. I tend to love pashminas because they keep you warm but you can also wear them inside too to accessorize your wardrobe. One of the new styles I love are the infinity scarves. They are attached end to end and you just loop it a couple of times. 

Brighten up a grey day
Just because it's winter doesn't mean you have to stay in dark, muted colors. Wear something warm and bright! A bright cashmere sweater, colorful pants, a dress or even just a scarf will take the blah out of a 20 degree day.

Lovely leather
I love leather gloves for winter. I instantly feel like my outfit is complete with a pair of them on. They are classy and functional. I personally like the longer style. For one, they cover more territory, keeping you warmer and two, they work great with ponchos and cropped sleeve jackets too. Check out this beautiful pair from Macy's.


Don't use winter as an excuse to throw on 4 layers of fleece and be bulky like a bear. You can be warm and fashionable. Use winter as a time to channel your inner snow bunny. Legwarmers, bright tights (double up for a more opaque look and warmth), fur (fake or real), ponchos etc... are all fun winter friendly items that can add a lot to your look. 

Winter offers us beautiful fabrics, more accessories, rich colors and reasons to dress up! It might be freezing outside but you can still look hot!

Stay warm!
