Style Must Haves: Winter Edition

With winter approaching FAST, I bet most of you fashionistas are wondering, how am I going to bundle up to stay warm, without looking frumpy? After seeing one of my favorite, fellow bloggers Naty Michele's most recent post about '10 Winter Must Haves' I figured I would do my own personal version.



Toggle Coats: In the past, this style of coat has been more for toddler to elementary school kid chic, but now can be found at almost any and all department stores for women and men. Gorgeous black, nude, red, and purple hues make for wonderful winter wear. This Victoria's Secret toggle should definitely be at the top of your Christmas List!

Envelope Clutches: These statement bags are a definite MUST. I'm in love with their look and shape. Over the last few years we went from oversized handbag trends to now more of a minimalism look. Though it's oversized for a clutch, the envelope shape and thinness is just the right size for a girls night out or romantic dinner with your main man. Great for nights out for carrying few items. This Jennifer Lopez snakeskin envelope clutch is SO cute and versatile! 

Oversized Sweaters: Who doesn't love an oversized sweater? I mean, really. Us girls love wearing boyfriend's/husband's big baggy sweatshirts as frequent as possible, and lucky for us, these are a great alternative, and much more feminine. You'll love the comfy, cozy, feeling and feel stylish knowing this must have is a winter trend. Check out this adorable black and white piece from Urban Outfitters!

Fringe Boots: I have never been a real fan of fringe anything, but once I started seeing fringe boots on display everywhere I went, I was sold. They look so great on and can be worn in so many different looks! Pair with a sweater dress and tights, or over some skinnies with an oversized sweater, you can rock these boots so many ways! I'm obsessed with these red fringe booties from Qupid at Pacsun.

Printed Blazers: Blazers in general can turn a casual, jean and top combo into a fabulous look when wearing the right one. Printed blazers are a real statement piece this season, and I am DYING for this soft, floral blazer from SABO SKIRT.

Beanies: We all hated wearing them as children, but now they're slowly but surely becoming our adult best friend. Not only do they keep your head warm, but they look cute on. Finding the right beanie can often be a  challenge due to many details such as color, fit, how they hang off your head, etc. Nonetheless finding the perfect one will only complete your winter wardrobe. Forever 21 has what seems like an endless supply of beanies for the season, including this awesome one seen here.

Statement Earrings: Personally, I've always chosen huge, dangling earrings over flat studs. I love how elegant or pretty they look and can make you feel. Wearing the right statement earrings can really transform an outfit, and even a basic hairdo like a pony tail. These Vera Wang Gold Tone Swag earrings are on sale for $7.20 what a steal!!!

Trends are always changing and evolving so hopefully this style update helped some of you!

Have a fabulous rest of the week followers/readers!
