Winter Mood: Cold-Weather Cool

Though the holidays are over, chilly weather is still nipping at our noses — and since there's still ample time until Spring, we've decided to just make the most of it.

Though the holidays are over, chilly weather is still nipping at our noses — and since there's still ample time until Spring, we've decided to just make the most of it. We're feeling inspired by rustic, cabin-chic style à la Jessica Hart in Marie Claire, easy, slouchy sweaters, luxe lounge pants, and bohemian-cool touches like a floppy wool fedora and a fashion-meets-function pair of duck boots. Take advantage of the cold front and curl up by the fire with a glass of red wine and some folksy tunes from one of our recent favorites, The Civil Wars — it's the perfect blues-tinged music for a cozy night in.
