Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

image
What is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I'm instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what's even better -- now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy's Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it's not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I'm pretty sure downing this won't taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!


Price: $25

Hot Leggings For Fall's Cold Weather

image
Why not add a whole new meaning to the term "hot pants?" Most of the time, all we ask of our leggings is that they're comfortable and versatile enough to throw underneath our favorite tops. When the colder weather strikes, however, we need a lil' something extra if we plan on leaving the house. The blustery winds can be enough to make you want to wear nothing but sweats, but the change of season doesn't mean you need to sacrifice looking cute in order to stay warm. Whether you're sick of them or not, leggings aren't going anywhere soon, so while that's more than we can say about summer, we've got some cold-weather safe picks to add to your legging collection Heavier fabrics from jeans and sweater materials to velvet and suede are one way to keep your tush toasty. And don't underestimate simple additions such as patches, zips and buttons to give your garment just a little something extra when facing the fall. Regardless of temperature, any of this season's takes on the now-staple, skin-tight classic are bound to make you look hot: it's not about the warmth your leggings will bring you this upcoming season -- it's about the heat the new season will bring to your leggings to make you look hotter than ever!

Warm up With Fur Embellished Winter Boots!

image
After making an appearance on the runway at Marc by Marc Jacobs, the fur boot is back. You may recall the mukluk trend from a few seasons ago. Yes, it's back and it is part of the larger fur trend we are seeing on faux fur vests in particular as well as handbags. So it make sense, but not sure if I am ready to embrace furry winter boots again this year. What do you think of these fur festooned boots? Will you buy them this winter? The style seen on the runway for fall 2009 is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Faux-fur lace-up boot (bottom right, $350 at Net-a-Porter). A completely fur covered boot this will keep your toes nice and toasty during the snowiest of days or perhaps on the slopes apres ski? The gray faux-fur-embellished boots feature black canvas criss-cross laces at the front, silver-tone eyelets and a black rubber sole to prevent slippage on snowy urban sidewalks or while relaxing in the ski lodge. Another style is Givenchy's Fur-Front Ankle Boot, (top right, $1150 at Saks.com) and obviously not too appropriate for snowy streets, but perhaps a snow-free night out on the town. These rabbit fur embellished booties with a stacked heel will look perfect with black leggings or skinny jeans.

TheFind Rocks The Fingerless Glove Trend For Fall

image
One of the more dramatic trends this fall is the fingerless glove. This trend is part of the glam rocker trend and coordinates well with black skinny jeans, moto jackets and studded accessories. But be careful not to go overboard. Pair fingerless gloves with a leather vest, tee and jeans or with leggings and a faux fur belted vest. These gloves are more for effect than for function, as they will probably not keep hands warm during the snowy season. Some favorites include the frivolous and fun Sparkle Fingerless Gloves by Free People ($38 at Shopbop). These fine knit 15-inch long gloves feature a multicolored metallic sparkle, ruching on the sides and cutouts along the outer side. Aqua's Fingerless Knit Gloves ($45 per pair at Bloomingdales) come in a wide variety of colors to accent your fall wardrobe. Long knit rib cuffs can be worn rolled up or to full length. Carolina Amato's fuchsia Snappy Fingerless Driving Gloves add a fun pop of color and perfectly accent an all-black outfit. Scope out our friends at TheFind for more on the fingerless glove trend, as well as coupon codes to snag a pair for less!

London Street Fashion: AllSaints

image
London is known for iconic street fashion. Big names like Vivienne Westwood have people always turning back to London to see what's edgy and in. International designers come here and scout for new ideas for their collections. Outside of the collections, innovative shops emerge that create new trends and a whole different way of dressing. One such shop is AllSaints where you can find unique twists on all the latest trends made with quality fabrics and craftsmen-ship. AllSaints now has 50 UK shops, with Paris and Antwerp recently added to its 53 concessions globally. AllSaints focuses on cutting-edge silhouettes like disheveled ruffles and gathers and details like studs, straps and cool graphics that give it its street-vibe attitude. The idea of femininity is played with and then proudly presented with masculine pieces like slouchy pants or structured blazers and even studded leather jackets, but all leave the wearer still looking sexy and dangerously flirtatious. These dresses and shoes are only an example of the great looks that AllSaints has for summer. So how do you wear these gorgeous dresses? Add a leather jacket or the drapey long cardigan from All Saints for a chic street look. Doc Martins and leggings in winter, gladiator sandals in summer. Check out www.AllSaints.com to take a look at some other amazing, must-have pieces!

Tie On A Bright Trench Coat For Spring!

image
The sun's finally starting to poke through, but many of us still need a little somethin' somethin' to shield us from some of spring's brisk temps. We've spent a winter in the trenches through the depths of the cold, but some of us couldn't make a step out into spring without our favorite outerwear accessory. You'll spring for trench coats in these colors to adorn your wardrobe. The best part about these jackets isn't their stylish buttons, their many pockets or their ability to create the perfect feminine silhouette with their narrow waisted tie and flared bottom-- these babies will make your stems look a mile high underneath their reverse-funnel frames. While they come in the bright colors that scream spring, many stores have moved them over to prices we just can't pass up, so button up, ladies-- don't let your spring ensembles shiver and show a little trench-love!

Hot In The Hive: Smittens!

image
When I used to live in a frozen tundra (also known as the East Coast) taking walks with my boyfriend was always something I looked forward to during those freezing winter days. However, no matter how amazing his company was, holding hands with both of us wearing thick gloves or mittens was quite a challenge. With snow storms still going on (clearly winter weather doesn't know it's already March) and if you've ever had that kind of problem, then a pair of Smittens is just right for you. At first sight, Smittens look like regular mittens until you realize that they come with two regular mittens for your hand and his, and then a hybrid mitten to share! So now you can take those romantic walks while staying close together and warm at the same time!


Price: $24.49

Hats That Won't Mess Up Your Hairstyle!

image
Mom used to say that most of your body's heat escapes through your head. And although technically, this isn't true, any surface left uncovered in frigid temperatures is not a good idea! And if your next excuse is "it will mess up my hair," quit your whining because I've test-driven a few styles that will up your fashion ante and keep your hair coiffed. The key is to pick something with some structure, that also covers your ears. I'm a big believer that headbands do not fulfill the same warmth prophecy. My favorite style this season is something similar to the Modern Girl Slouchy Cap from etsy's Raimbo Tree. Cozy and comfortable! I also love the more 1920's inspired look of BoringSidney's Barbed Wire Cross Cloche, for a more vintage girl-about-town look. Check out my SLIDESHOW for hat options that won't make your hair-do a hair don't!
