I don’t know where you live, but if it’s anywhere in the Northeast, I’m guessing that you have some pretty hefty snow arriving today (if not already).  We have a lot of snow on the ground and A LOT more on the way.  All this snow has me seeing white – doesn’t help that my toddler loves Snow White, so I hear about that allll the time too!  I’ve decided to make snow my fashion inspiration and incorporating more white into my wardrobe – winter and all!!!  I’m not going to go rogue and wear white shoes or white jeans, but wearing a white scarf (with a dab of bronzer) will make you look tan and fab! Check out these other *white* pieces that I love for right now.

Scarves & Wraps by Love Quotes

Banana Republic’s Pearl Drama Necklace does it all – touch of white, class, and drama.  I am imagining it on top of a simple black top to really make it pop!

Tinley Road has become a fast fave of mine.  While this Ruched Sleeveless Tank isn’t totally wearable right now, it is the perfect jump-start for spring!  Pair it with a black blazer and wear it now too! $29

I really like The Loft’s Drawstring Top – perfect for lounging or paired with denim.  $34.50

Love Quotes Italian Linen Scarf is so beautiful – it’s no wonder the celebrities are scooping it up in every color!  Grab just this white one and you’ll be covered year round!  $88

And of course – why not blend right in with the snow in a white down coat?  Free People’s *Lily* coat (I’m partial to the name) is practical, warm and best of all?  On Sale for $119.

Stay Warm…enjoy the beauty of the snow.

It’s mid-November and I’m actually surprised that the weather isn’t colder.  I haven’t worn my gloves yet this season and I can count with one hand the number of times I’ve worn a scarf.  That probably means that December is going to play payback, so I want to be fully prepared!  Since scarves, gloves, and hats are a necessary evil – it’s important to find cute ones that will add to your look in a positive way.  Here are my top two fave from each category.  Stay warm and Tis the Season!

Scarves

Love Banana Republic’s Cozy Cable Scarf ($69.50).  It’s design is so subtle, the color matches nearly everything, and it’s soft too.  With BR’s get more save more sale, you can get at least 15% off if you spend $75!

Nordstrom’s Cashmere Muffler is on sale for $59.90 – you cannot beat that for solid cashmere!  Don’t worry about itching with this luxurious scarf available in over 10 colors!  Buy 2 and you won’t need anything else.

Gloves
Love these J. Crew leather zip gloves. $98, but they will last for seasons to come! The zipper makes them feel special and adds some dimension to an otherwise simple glove.

Old Navy’s Fleece gloves are only $7.50 (check them out in black rather than the striped pattern featured below – nothing would match those!).  Everyone should own a pair because you won’t care if you lose them and they keep you hands warm!  Buy a few colors and leave them in your pockets – you’ll be so happy when a cold day sneaks up on you and you’re actually prepared!

Hats
This J. Crew cable knit hat is so perfect for the season. The ivory color will match any coat and complement your rosy cheeks. $45

Gap’s Sparkly Beret makes keeping warm look chic in a French sort of way.  I like the beret because it keeps you warm without adding all of the static that a tight knit hat would add.

And last is my wildcard addition for any cold weather accessory wardrobe: Burberry Earmuffs. I have a pair and love them especially when I don’t want to put my hair under a hat. Keep your ears toasty while looking super chic! $175

The Shopaholic is always talking about layering.  Whether it’s because my sweater’s itchy, too short, or just because – I almost always have a long tank or tee underneath whatever I’m wearing.  By putting a thin long-sleeve tee underneath your top, you are actually able to stretch your wardrobe.  I have some sweaters that are not quite 3/4 length sleeves, but with a long-sleeve tee underneath I can wear them on even the coldest winter days.  Personally, I like the look of my tee extended beyond the length of my sweater.  Now the key is wearing a *thin* tee because no one wants to add MORE bulk on top of a sweater.

Not to talk about Ideeli all of the time, but when they had a Rebecca Beeson sale, they were offering a 3-pack (no, definitely not like hanes) of long-sleeve tees in a variety of color combos.  My pack had hot pink, camo green, and white – all for $40.  This is a steal so if you see her sale on any of the sample sites, scoop them up!  I can’t say enough positive things about this line – everything is just so soft and wearable.

Theory makes undeniably fabulous clothing – comfortable and always chic, you most certainly get what you pay for.  Their long sleeve tees are the best!  I have *one* and I’ve been wearing (and washing) for the past year…it still looks great.  Theory Carmine-Encase sells for $105. (white)

Gap’s favorite long-sleeve tee is on sale for $12.50.  (charcoal, black, white, brown, navy)

Three dots has a new, crewneck layering tee available in a wide variety of colors for only $44. (black, blue, berry, white, dark green)

Banana Republic Long-sleeve timeless tee.  $29.50 (white, grey, purple, black)

Mossimo (Target) Long Sleeve Tee. For $10, you better stock up!!!! (white)
