Brrrrrr brrrrr brrrr! It’s definitely getting cold, well it’s kinda sorta been cold for awhile. Regardless, today I want to share with you some of my winter essentials!
Scarves
Scarves a definite must have for me! I love scarves, big scarves, little scarves, furry scarves, you name it, I love it! I feel like they are not only a winter need but also a person accessory to any outfit.
Lip Balm
No body wants chapped, dry, flaking lips. Best way to avoid chapped lips in the cold temperatures of winter is to have an abundance of lip balm! I personally switch bags a lot and to avoid forgetting to carry lip balm, I have many to go into each bag. A bit crazy, I know.ย
Lotion
Along with no one wanting dry lips, no one wants d dry skin. Avoid dry flaky skin by applying lotion everyday, once before getting ready, once after a shower and throughout the day whenever needed.
Tea & Hot Chocolate
Although I love tea year round, it definitely feels a little more special during the cold winter months. Grab yourself a favorite tea or try some new tea and then cozy up in a blanket with a nice movie or book. Along with tea, I really love hot chocolate because well, I love chocolate and because it’s super cozy!
Coats
Put away those tiny sweaters and leather jackets because they will not help in the freezing months of winter! Instead, grab yourself a thick coat that will keep you warm while you’re outside braving the cold.
What about you, what are your favorite winter essentials?!
Winter is my favourite season for fashion- absolutely need scarves and coats ๐ โค

I always look forward to wearing my boots everywhere! Where I live in North Carolina, the window to wear boots is not too long so it’s always great! Tea and coffee are definitely essential, especially on gray days. I am trying to make a new tradition of baking bread to add that warm and cozy feeling inside the home. Haven’t tried it yet, but one of these days for sure!

I got this cheap, oversized, USA beanie from T.J. Maxx a few weeks ago and have been obsessed with it every since–even wearing it on days that aren’t as cold. ๐
As for at home, I agree with you that teas are a must-have, in addition to snuggling up under my electric blanket and reading. Pure happiness right there.

Scarves are also a favourite of mine during the winter, I actually challenged myself not so long ago, to get them all out and wear a different one everyday! I did it and blogged about it during the challenge! ๐
