Top Cold Weather Accessories

I don’t know about you, but here in New York the temperatures are dropping and I am finding myself bundling up more than ever. The problem is, how do you accessorize for such cold weather? Well, yet again, I’m here to save the day with my top 5 winter friendly accessories!

1.       Headbands

Headbands are literally my life saver in the brisk mornings! Not only are headbands super fashionable and come in tons of colors to match any outfit, but they can even keep your ears warm when taking the kids to the bus stop or school. Throwing on one of our knit headbands can add just the perfect cozy look to any outfit. Do you live in a little warmer climate? Well then try one of our thinner headbands, these not only are adorable, but every purchase made also gives a child fighting cancer a headband too. Snag one of these for you or a friend, but also feel great in knowing that your purchase is a contribution to a child going through a difficult time.

2.       Scarves

Scarves are such an obvious winter accessory, but if you are anything like me, you need some cute patterns, fringe, or colors to add that perfect pop to your outfit. Lately, I’ve been loving wearing jeans and a basic solid top, but have jazzed up my outfit be adding a bold colored scarf, like this red and black plaid scarf.  If I’m wearing an outfit that is already a little bold in color, adding this two tone fringe scarf adds the perfect balance of fashionable and warmth.

3.       Hats

With these cold morning temperatures, I find myself hitting snooze a few too many times, which means I have overslept and lost time that otherwise would be allocated for hair styling. To solve this problem, I rely on hats of every variety. I love a good beanie, especially like these ponytail beanies where I can just throw my hair up and walk out the door. My other go to is a simple baseball cap, I love this one because it’s acid wash and can go with everything!

4.       Statement Necklaces

When it comes to jewelry, I love the versatility that comes with long, chunky, or bold necklaces. I love the simplicity of a solid chunky sweater that is so easily dressed up with a gorgeous necklace like this beaded tassel necklace. If you prefer a simpler look, you can never go wrong with a v neck top and a dainty piece like these initial necklaces.

5.       Bags

My last favorite winter accessory is an amazing purse/bag. Being an on the go mom, I love having a bag that I can throw everything I need into it. A black and white purse matches every outfit, and this bag features long shoulder straps! I also love to be organized in my purse. Whenever one of my sons needs something, I need to be find it quickly to avoid a meltdown, so these fun pouches are a must especially with needing all of my winter essentials like gloves, chapstick, or lotion.

What are your winter accessory essentials? Let me know below what you are in the market for in winter accessories! Until next time, stay warm and accessorized!

Top 5 Fall Fashion Trends

The leaves are changing colors and the mornings have a pleasant crispness to them, which can only mean one thing, Fall is here! With every new season comes new and fun trends, and this Fall is no exception. From fringe to ruffles to denim here is my top 5 Fall trendy staples that you must add to your wardrobe!

1.       Elbow Patches

We all remember our dad’s or grandfather’s older sweaters with the suede elbow patches right? Well who would have known that we should have been saving them all this time? Fun chunky sweaters or tops with these signature suede elbow patches are all the rage in fashion right now. You can layer these pieces with a fun scarf and a pair of booties for the perfect fall look. This cardigan is definitely my favorite with the houndstooth inspired pattern and stunning purple interior you will get so many compliments with this versatile piece!

2.       Ruffles

Ruffles are literally everywhere this season, and with good cause. A well-made ruffle can turn any outfit into a sleek and sophisticated ensemble. Take for example this sophisticated black ruffle top, throw some good denim, a pair of boots, and a long dangly necklace and you are ready for any fun Fall activity heading your way. If you need a piece that is ready for your “on the go” lifestyle, our burgundy ruffle sweater is the perfect piece for you and it comes in sizes S to 3X!

3.       Cold Shoulder Tops

Even though it’s Fall and we are having cooler temperatures, there is always a need for a good cold shoulder top and this year’s fashion trends couldn’t agree more! We are seeing cold shoulders in everything from simple tops to off the shoulder sweaters, if your shoulder is out, it counts! I’m personally loving, and having size envy on, this gorgeous plus size top that combines not only cold shoulders, but a front knot and button up detail, this piece is the Fall trend trifecta!

4.       Fringe

Fringe is definitely my favorite of all Fall trends because we are seeing it in every single thing and you can layer your fringe pieces. Do you have some fringe booties at home and want a stunning top in Fall’s trendy camel color to compliment them? Well then this suede fringe jacket is the perfect piece, it is so flattering and camel literally looks great on all skin tones. If you prefer more of a covered look, check out all of our ponchos that feature fringe, any of these pieces will definitely keep you on trend, and warm, this Fall!

5.       Good Denim

With every good fashion trend, you need a staple piece that is versatile enough to pair with anything, this Fall, that piece is good denim. I know you’re probably thinking, what is “good denim”, aren’t jeans just jeans? I thought that too, until I recently left my previous tried and true jeans for these ultra stretchy and amazingly comfortable jeans. A good pair of denim will instantly leave you feeling smoothed and fashionable. A good jean will also wear well with any top you put with it and is versatile for any kind of shoe. A good jean will literally have you thinking “what have I been wearing before this?!” and have you never turning back.

This is just the start of some amazing trends and I can’t wait to see what it coming next! What trend are you most excited for? Until next time, stay fashionable!
