Cold-Weather Accessories

The other day, I blogged about great coats. But the coat is just the beginning of your outerwear look. You need gloves and scarves to successfully combat the cold weather.

If I have eight coats, I have 10 pairs of gloves and 16 scarves. Scarves are a cheap way to add a bit of flair or color to your outfit. Even on days that aren't bone chilling, you can wrap a scarf around your neck to add a bit of vroom vroom to your look.

This Anthropologie scarf is my favorite of the season. It's so fabulous that I would wear it even when it is hot outside. OK, I'm slightly exaggerating, but I love this look. This is a happy scarf. It's $98.



These gloves from Target look super soft and cute. The ruffle that hits at the wrist keeps the gloves ultra feminine and they are a steal for $9.99




The new trend in scarves is that they completely wrap around your neck. They are called eternity scarves because they never end. It's loose fitting and is truly a cold-weather accessory, rather than something to keep you warm. This scarf is exclusive to Urban Outfitters for $19.99


Long gloves were all the rage last winter. And they're back! For instant chicness, slide on a pair. These Nordstrom-brand gloves sell for $98.


Looking for luxurious? This Banana Republic gathered knit scarf is the answer. The price? $50.


You've heard of leg warmers, right? Well, the same concept is available for your arms. Lovin' these arm warmers. They're so urban and fun! The first pair are Donna Karan and sell for $395 at Nordstrom. If you don't want to break the bank, get the second pair for $18 bucks at Urban Outfitters.

  1. I'm really digging the long gloves. They are vamp and lady like at the same. Definately on my winter wish list. Not so sure about arm warmers though. Scarves are an addiction of mine too. Love the blog!!
