Beautiful Winter Inspiration

Layers, warm, cozy, comfortable and casual don't necessarily have to translate into bland outfits during winter, though  managing to stay warm and still looking  put together can apparently be a difficult task. When it comes to how to look stylish in winter these rules of thumb are my top ones for guidance:

• accessories can play a key role [a beanie, a fedora hat, a fur bag];
• often times a pop of an unexpected color [a vibrant burgundy, yellow or emerald green} can add an interesting element to your outfit;
• when one properly layers can lead you to end up looking  oh-so-chic [sometimes when it is really cold, you could wear wear two coats as long as you follow the trick of wearing a   slim fitting jacket not to add too much bulk and add a nice and roomy coat on top];
•  mixing  faux fur, and leather add a sense of warmth and a bit of an edge to your outfits and keep you looking on-trend;
•  a peek-a-boo lace under a chunky turtleneck is perfect for a romantic winter date night; 
• a turtleneck or a chunky sweater paired with a miniskirt and over-the-knee boots will provide a is cosy and chic effect;
• bright scarves,  colorful gloves or even a great blanket are your best friends during the winter months - they'll make a statement in your daily routine;
•  a great pair of boots is a must-have if you want to be stylish in winter, but aim for comfort, warmth, practicality and ankle support [it is hard to look good when one’s feet are painfully cold].

Bear in mind,though, that at the end of the day, no matter how cute your winter outfit is, if it doesn't keep you warm, it's not doing it's job. And also tell me, what are you wearing this winter?
