Winter prep

Ignoring the fact that it has been slightly seasonally warm lately, winter is still coming, and before I fall into my rut of sweaters and denim, I'd like to explore a few basics that can make even jeans and knits feel new and fun.

The back of this Clu Striped Sweater Dress is silk ruffles, so that is super fun. The rest is wool, and with those long sleeves all that's needed is a pair of tights to keep cozy. see more sweater dresses

Any excuse to make this Kate Spade Fox Clutch appropriate to carry around every day would work. It's just too cute. see more bags by Kate Spade

A pair of Hunter Shiny Red Rain Boots have been on my list for a while. They might be too much, so I haven't gotten them, but then again, they might be just enough when trudging through the white snow. see more Hunter boots

Silk might not be my first choice for a lining as it is in these Carolina Amato Blue Leather Gloves but the color is just too gorgeous. see more gloves

I know I would have too much fun walking around with this Kate Spade Umbrella, wouldn't you? see more umbrellas

Some prints were just made for the winter, and this Capulet Plaid Blazer demonstrates that perfectly. see more blazers
