I know it has been a while since I have written. Life in New York City has been so crazy. I work Monday through Friday from 10 am to around 6:30 pm. When I get home from work, I am exhausted. On the weekends, I relax and walk around the city enjoying the moment. Last weekend I attended Teen Vogue Fashion University for the second year in the row. I will post pictures from that soon!

In the meantime, here are some items that I think are essential for this winter!

Everyone needs a down coat. I have this coat in white, and I love it. It keeps me very warm. It is also available in brown. It is $169.50 at Esprit.com

A cable knit scarf will also keep you have warm. I like this infinity scarf because it is very easy to wear and style. It is a must have! It is $49.90 at Express.com

I love leather gloves in purple. When you are wearing a simple black peacoat, a pop of color in the glove will be lots of fun. These gloves are $34 at Urbanoutfitters.com

I love wearing hats in the winter. They are perfect for protecting your ears from the wind. I love this cute little beret from Topshop.com. It is $28.

Last, we need some great winter boots that are not only really warm, but are really cute too! Of course we want to look our best, even if we are freezing! I love these boots by Michael Michael Kors. They look super warm! They are $150 from Endless.com
