Winter Must-Have's

For those of you (like me) who are trudging through the snow to get to class, try the winter gear that gets me through this painful season with a smile on my face.

1. EOS Lip Balm: Who doesn't need chap stick in the midst of winter? Here's my personal favorite flavor: Sweet Mint

2. Arbonne Body Lotion: Similarly, dry skin is practically winter's middle name. I keep this handy for hand lotion, no pun intended. Here's my personal favorite scent, Awaken:

3. Starbuck's Refreshers: These can be purchased at any drug store and, obviously, Starbucks. I like to buy a pack and make them myself. It's a simple and cheap treat that always brightens my day! Here's my favorite flavor, Very Berry Hibiscus:

4. Sorel Winter Boots: These are my attempt to be fashionable while warm and durable. Although these are not especially cheap, they are a great purchase that will last for many winters to come. They come in all different colors, designs, and heights. Here's the pair I just bought:

5. Infinity Scarf: Also known as a "circle scarf," this winter essential is not to bulky or unflattering. Gap has great knit choices, but I tend to pick simple colors that match almost everything. Here's my favorite Gap off-white knit infinity scarf:

6. Leg Warmers: These are actually making a significant comeback. They are a more trendy version of wool socks and perfect to wear with both short and tall boots. I recently found super cute leg warmers at Urban Outfitters, with buttons on the top (2 for $20). Here's my favorite Urban Outfitter's "over the knee" leg warmers:

7. Coffee Mugs: A warm chai latte or peppermint hot chocolate are my ultimate go-to drinks of the season. A cute mug is always a must-have around the house. Here's one of my Christmas presents, from Urban Outfitters, sported by my lovely roommate Kayla:

8. Footy Pajamas: Embarrassingly so, these are one of my many guilty pleasures. I would be lying if I told you I only had one pair. If you're ready to rock the onesie style, they are comfy to relax in around the house, or in my case, dorm. You can purchase them very cheap at Target. Here's my roomie and I rockin' my favorite pairs of footy pajamas on our girls night in: 

9. Texting Gloves: I hope I'm not the only one who encounters that awkward moment when I really want to text someone back, but its too cold to take off my gloves. Here's a quick solution to that problem, found at Target for only $3:

10. Pull-over sweaters: These are my 'when in doubt' look. If I'm ever running late, I throw on jeans and a pull-over sweater for a quick trendy outfit. My favorite stores to shop include Urban Outfitters, H&M, Free People, and J. Crew. Here's my favorite vintage pull-over found at Urban Outfitters for $79:
