Can You Hear Me Now

Yesterday we did scarves and today since it is still ridiculously cold, let's look at some adorable ear muffs. I like ear muffs because they don't ruin your hair and less static when you take it off. They're easy to throw in your purse and they come in so many styles.

Bloomingdale's, Ralph Lauren Tech Ear Muffs, $56

How chic are these muffs? Sequins with shearling lined ears. Glam, fun, and warm.

Club Monaco, Celeste Faux Fur Earmuff, $59 [sold out! here's another option]

There are a lot of rabbit fur ear muffs out there, and yes, they're luxurious, but for those who aren't all for the bunny ears (literally) here is a lovely faux fur option.

Bloomingdale's, Kate Spade Fall in Line Ear Muffs, $47

Zoom in and enjoy the orange and pink stripes on these beauties. What a warm pattern for a cold day.

Neiman Marcus, Chunky Cable Knit Headphone Ear Muff, $39

Cable knit is not just for sweaters anymore! Rock out and stay warm with these.

Ear muffs for cold weather, its not the most original idea but it sure saves a good hair day. Stay warm and look fabulous.

The Isle of Fair

The perfect winter pattern whether you are at the slopes or just bundling up on your walk to work is fair isle. It's a pattern that reminds you of hot chocolate and long underwear. Today we're looking at fair isle scarves.

Boden, Fair Isle Scarf, $46

A wool blend that will keep you warm. I really enjoy the mixing of the blues.

Nordstrom, Topshop Scandi Fair Isle Snood, $36

Who doesn't love a great snood? This cozy knit is going to go with any winter jacket and add the perfect amount of pattern.

Old Navy, Women's Fair Isle Scarf, $17

A nice camel color with a fun fringe detail. 

Forever 21, Reversible Fair Isle Scarf, $12 [Now sold out!]

Kind of an Aztec inspired print that you can wear two ways!

Fair isle is the perfect print for the dead of winter. Mix it up with a cozy scarf instead of the sweater and keep your outerwear fresh!

I'll Have the Scallops

Last week we looked at some great bling as one way to add interest to your outfit. Another way to dress up the wardrobe is to look for pieces that have a little extra detail. I'm talking about a sweater with embroidery, or a skirt with a nubby tweed. Something that makes the piece stand out from all the others. Something that makes it special. Today, I want to focus on scallops. Simple, quiet, and yet great impact.

Chicwish, Neon Yellow Scrolled Trim Bud Skirt, $33

A bright pop of yellow is perfect for now with plum tights and for later with a sleeveless white lacy blouse.

Loft, Pointelle Yoke Scalloped Ruffle Sweater, $49

Kind of obsessed with this sweater. Like I almost bought it while writing this post. I love the touch of wool that makes it extra cozy, the variation on the stripe with these scalloped edges, and this cool mint color that is perfect with everything.

Free People, Scalloped Lace Skort, $78

Talk about details. The lace pattern here is feminine and delicate mixed with this deep emerald. I would wear this now with black tights and booties and later when my legs aren't so translucent. 

Bloomingdale's, Kate Spade Scallop Front Tights, $22

A great variation on your standard black tight without being super crazy patterned. These also come in beige.

So you see its not always about the bling or the shoes or the lipstick, sometimes that sweater/skirt/skort does that work for you. Embrace the scallop.

Chunkster

It's freezing on the east coast. Like wear tights under your pants and then add the wool socks cold. When you walk outside it feels like you just got slapped across the face. You know what you need when it is this cold? Chunky knits. Lots of them. All of them. Get cozy.

Wallis, Cream Chunky Jumper, $49

A cozy cream will go perfectly with coated denim or a structured legging. I also love the big cowl neck.

Bloomingdale's, Calvin Klein Chunky Cowl Neck Sweater, $89

A great pattern that has a lot of movement for those days when you want to do absolutely nothing.

Need Supply, Cowl Neck Sweater, $68

Oversized, drapey, thick and relaxed. Add some mulled wine and call it a night.

Dorothy Perkins, Blush Embellished Sweater, $21

A lovely knit with just the right amount of detail right by the face. No necklace needed.

When the temperature drops, its all about the chunky knit. Layer on an infinity scarf and find some comfy slippers.
