EXTREME MEASURES: Winter's Cutest, Coziest Accessories

Faux fur keeps you warm (and super chic), no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

I had a panic attack today. It wasn't caused by anything major, mind you, just a tiny little white snowflake that landed on my hand as I was taking my Westie for a walk. He looked up, and so did I, then we looked at each other, and sprinted straight back to the house. So far, I've gotten away with no gloves or hats or winter boots this season, but I can't ignore our Canadian reality any longer - it's November, the snow is coming, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. 

Luckily, I've found that shopping seems to fix the majority of my problems. Since my scarf situation is pretty sad, and I seem to only have one of both pairs of gloves I relied on last year (how does that always happen?). it's high time for a winter accessory update. From smartphone-friendly gloves and perfect slouchy beanies, to gorgeous winter boots and fab faux-fur headwraps, I've found the best hard-working accessories to keep you cozy and cute, no matter what Mother Nature throws at you this winter. Sigh...I feel better already, don't you?

Fashion is in the details and for Fall '13, we can't agree more. These super chic extras might be small but they pack a powerful punch. Check out our edit of must-have accessories, guaranteed to bring your style to the next level, even when you're all bundled up... 

  Fingerless Leather Gloves, $39, Danier 

The Trend: A Leather Accent

How to Pull It Off: A little leather (faux or real) goes a long way. A pair of driving gloves, a moto bomber or a studded clutch (see below) will infuse your look with a little biker edge.

  

Glass Earrings, $10, ALDO

The Trend: Pink Accents

How to Pull It Off: This season, soft pink and other pretty pastels are having a moment. We love sparkly pink earrings because they cast a dazzling light on every complexion.

Animal Print Skinny Belt, $10, American Eagle

The Trend: An Animal Print Belt  

How to Pull It Off: Black pants, white shirts, and solid crewneck sweaters are kind of zzzzz on their own  for work - but add an animal print belt and you've got yourself an outfit. Add it to cinch the waist of your favourite wool coat or little black dress, or to add interest to your distressed jeans.  

Chenille Knit Loop Scarf, $28, RW&CO.

The Trend: Teddy Bear Outerwear

How to Pull It Off: Not a big style secret here - a cozy chenille scarf, headband or even coat are the perfect cozy antidote to a cold winter day. Expect hugs.
