this october snow means it's time for my winter gear to awaken from hibernation.  cozy crewneck sweaters and pom-pom hats will keep me warm this season (and they should be on your shopping list too, ladies and gents).  here are some of my favorites (i think ralphie would approve):

hats:     topman     universal works     nobis

sweaters:     aran sweater market     norse projects     o'hanlan mills

glitter

i adOre these sparkly shades & glittery boots.  my style is very far from "girly girl", but something about glitter gets me every time...

these soft tones of minty green & tiffany blue paired with glitter create a most-wOnderful glamorous, retro feeling.

cold weather color

i'm tired of wearing black in the winter.  this snowy season, i plan to dance around town in cheery brights.  i did a little shopping this weekend and picked up a few colorful items at j.crew which i'm super excited about.  i was paging through Sunday Styles this morning and came across a wOnderful ad for a brand called C. Wonder.  the brand seems to be a lovely fusion of the preppy aspects of j.crew & the whimsical nature of kate spade but at a fraction of the price.  i thought, "this is the perfect brand to feed my sudden need for color."  i immediately googled the heck out of it and found that a store would soon open in Soho, and another shortly after at the Garden State Plaza.  I can't wait!
