I was flipping through my most recent Nordstrom catalogue featuring new winter accessories when I spotted these amazing Gucci sunglasses.  Fun colorful frames are great for summer, but classic and sophisticated sunglasses are perfect to pair with your wool coat and cashmere scarf in winter.  Don’t forget that there are lots of sunny days in the winter that will require proper eye protection!

Gap has a winter collection of the coziest-looking slippers I have ever seen!  I’ve never tried the slipper bootie before, but as a combination between a a sweater, a cozy pair of socks and a thick durable pair of slippers it seems like a pretty genius invention.  I can just imagine cuddling up on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa, a DVR full of Gossip Girl and Project Runway episodes, and some Gap slipper booties on my feet for the best weekend ever.

So not fair!
My apologies to those of you still suffering in summer heat – we’re going to talk jackets today!

It’s their “Paice Washed Leather” jacket.
If leather isn’t quite your style, how about a lambswool melton jacket from L.A.M.B.?

I love that turquoise color!
And since I seem to be going with bolder colors today…

How about this merino wool jacket from Alexander McQueen?

To prove that Roberto Cavalli also knows his way around the classics:

Voila!  The classic, elegant wool trench coat.
I admit, it does have leopard print lining, but wouldn’t that look stunning on a blustery winter day?
