Stay warm from head to toes with Scala Collezione, Kushyfoot and LL Bean!

The cold weather has arrived with a vengeance which has me scrambling for ways to stay warm while still looking good. Sound hard? Not so much thanks to stylish warmth from:

Want to keep your ears warm without messing up your hair? Then a headband is the way to go and you can't beat the cute factor of this Scala Collezione Boiled Wool Headband embellished with rosettes - $30 - in 5 colours: black, charcoal, ivory, wine and chocolate.

Available online at http://www.hartfordyork.com/product/7239/womens-hats-ss.
I wear black tights pretty much every day once the weather gets cold but regular tights can leave my legs chilly and the thick wool ones look bulky (and no one wants their legs looking thicker then they have to be) so I am thrilled with the discovery of Kushyfoot Fleece Lined Tights - $8.99 - available in small/medium and medium/tall - for legs that are smooth and sleek on the outside and comfy cozy on the inside!

Available at retailers across North America and online at www.kushyfoot.com.
Regular long underwear is bulky and can overheat you when indoors which is why I love the lightweight layering and warming qualities of silk:

LL Bean Silk Pointelle Three-Quarter Sleeve Low Scoopneck - $44.95 - in sizes from XS to XL - provides a layer of warmth against winter's cold in a feminine pointelle-knit fabric. Ideal for everyday wear, it's extremely lightweight and layers smoothly under clothes without adding bulk.

Available online at www.llbean.com.

Warm up with accessories from FRAAS, American Apparel, mark., Reitmans, Dorfman Pacific and Jacob!

It's that time of year again when I never quite know what to wear. It's not yet cold enough for all my winter gear but if I go out in just a fall coat I usually end up cold, especially indoors since a lot of businesses don't seem to have turned on the heat yet!

Scarves and hats seem to be the best solution and luckily there are lots of choices that will keep me warm without overheating - including:

FRAAS Fairisle Infinity Scarf - $40 - made of acrylic, nylon and wool, it's super soft and lightweight and comes in 4 colours: navy/turquoise, camel/ivory, rose/petal and black/grey. What makes the circle scarf great of course is demonstrated below by the endless variety of ways in which they can be worn! I love the feminine touch this fairisle pattern adds!

Available at local retailers, online at fraas.com and amazon.com or by calling 212-575-0191.
American Apparel Unisex Circle Scarf - $28 - in an incredibly wide variety of colours as well as various fabrics it can be worn in just about any way by everyone!

Available in-store and online at www.americanapparel.ca


If you prefer your scarves a little more traditional they still don't need to boring! These shimmery numbers with add a little edge to any outfit!

mark. Nice Accent Scarf - $16 - with lurex woven through, it has a glimmering champagne effect. 90% rayon/10% metallic. 1.73 m L x 19 cm W; 11 cm fringe.

Available from your Avon rep - 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca
Reitmans Metallic Scarf - $18 - made of sparkly pink viscose with fringed ends.

Available in-store and online at www.reitmans.com
Dorfman Pacific DPC Authentic Classic Wool Beret - $25 - made of soft wool and available in 19 colours including black, white, maroon, chocolate, charcoal cobolt and red.

I like berets because there are several ways to wear them including pushed back on the head if you just want to make a fashion statement, pushed forward if you need to hide you forehead or pulled all the way down to keep you ears warm! They are also great for bad hair days because they are one of the few hats that you can wear indoors and get away with!

Available at local retailers and online at www.hartfordyork.com/product/494/gift-ideas
Jacob Pompom Beret - $19 - 100% acrylic in black or light beige - the pompom although adorable, makes it a little less wearable inside but if you have the swagger, you'll get away with it!

Available at Jacob stores or online at www.jacob.ca

Stay warm my friends!
