recipe for warmth: etsy and l.l.bean

I thought a few tips on how to stay warm and stylish(ish) in the cold cold winter weather were due after Anna and I both posted about Hel Looks.


First, two coat options from New England's trusted L.L.Bean:

long ultrawarm coat and three quarter ultrawarm coat - not exactly my favorite looks, but very much acceptable forms of staying warm.

I generally prefer to go with peacoats and am usually warm enough in my Delia's coat with thinsulate:

Neckwarmers from Etsy (just search neckwarmers and you'll find a plethora of pretty options):

And something that absolutely must keep you warm:

from filofashion, heatbria, jolieville, mojospastyle, and queenheroncreations.

brr

It's so cold outside, I wish I had this outfit.

inspiration to be warm and pretty

It's been really cold lately, as I'm sure everyone in New England and anywhere else winter-y has noticed. The lovely folks in Helsinki on Hel Looks are pretty great at dealing with cold weather and they provide some cozy inspiration for staying warm and pretty (two of my favorite ways to be!).

My own tip for staying warm is really pretty simple - layers, layers, layers. Two pairs of tights, tights under jeans, scarves, layers of tank tops/t-shirts and a sweater, however you work it, layers will keep you warm.
