There are a couple must have items that I have picked up from my 27 years living in Chicago. Items that get my through this Midwest winter pretty comfortably and today I thought I’d share the wisdom.

Black Fur Tecnica Boots (nothing will keep your feet warm like these crazy things)
Huge Furry Hue Socks (I own a ridiculous number of these)
Cozy hats (enough said)
Apple Cinnamon Spice Tea (my all time favorite tea on a cold night, apple pie in a cup)
Tuberose Soy Candle (this goes without saying, nothing beats a yummy candle)
Bag Balm (Vaseline on steriods, it heals all chapped lips immediately)

Do you have any winter saviors to share? Spill it!

Earrings: How perfect are these? They would dress up any simple outfit, day or night.

Skirt: I love this sweater for the summer with a silk tank, or the winter with an oversized sweater. The pattern is just so good.

Pumps: The perfect Etta pump in white and black croc

Necklace: I mean, everything from Jcrew’s new collection, but how good is this necklace?

Sweater: An every.single.day sweater. Seriously, I would wear it everyday. Vince is just so good.

Belt: Black, white and gold. With a bow! No need to say anything more.

Lip gloss: My all time favorite. Moisturizing, has SPF and stays on. There’s nothing better.

Blogging is both dangerous and helpful when it comes to my shopping. I see so many gorgeous things every day and I am so tempted. But posts like this also help feed a little bit of my addiction. So you guys should buy this stuff and tell me how amazing it is so I can live vicariously. Thanks.
