Wardrobe
Timeless layers, cozy textures, and everything I’m packing for a December in New York.
Cold-weather essential: soft layers + classic tartan ➝ ready for sweater-weather season.
Staffin Tartan Serape
New York winter ready: classic layers, soft herringbone, and easy-chic vibes. I'm pairing this with a turtleneck, jeans and loafers. Its beautiful!
Herringbone Stewart Poncho
Preppy, polished and practical - I absolutely love this puffer vest and the snap buttons are so perfect. Its not to heavy but will keep you warm. Excellent quality!
Black Inez Puffer Vest
I absolutely love this sweater! It is soft, thick, and definitely oversized. As a current plus size girlie that is hard to find sometime! 10/10 recommend!
Hunter Green Galway Fisherman Sweater
Amazing pullover! It will absolutely keep you cozy. Its soft and excellent quality. I will say for my size it was large up top but a little tight in the hips, but still it was cute and worth keeping!
Olive Rhodes Shearling Quarter Zip
Gorgeous dress! It’s very sophisticated, and I love the side buttons detail. Its perfect for the Nutcracker Ballet.
Winter White Side Button Jamie Dress
Fabulous dress! I did follow the measurement guide and I will say for me, it is a little tight in the chest and arms. I absolutely love it though. Its such a beautiful material and so very well made. I'm going to see if my seamstress can make some al...
Black Feather Jamie Dress
Perfect for the holidays! The fabric is beautiful. It is oversized.
Emerald Mirasol Jacquard Alette Dress
I absolutely adore this jacket! It is a wonderful piece, beautiful quality. It is a little on the snug size, so I would size up!
Cream Braided Trim Shay Jacket
Its a nice vest that is super soft but not thick. I think its perfect for over sweaters but under a coat. True to size.
Legendary Whitetails Women's Quilted Vest
My favorite brand of leggings. They are such a great thick quality and fit perfectly. They have a velvety soft touch. I do not notice the inner thighs peeling either. I have every color so obviously 10/10 recommend.
90 Degree By Reflex Womens Power Flex Yoga Pants
This with a good pair of leggings. Love that it is oversized and covers everything! Super cozy!
OFFLINE By Aerie Cloud Fleece Oversized Mockneck Sweatshirt
One of my favorite sweatshirts ever! Long enough to wear with leggings! Love the faded washed fabric. It’s soft and a nice quality.
AE Everyday Luxe Crew Neck Sweatshirt
Shoes
Shoes and boots and literally everything in between because I’m toxic and think loafers are acceptable NYC winter shoes lol
I am obsessed! Apparently this is the IT shoe and there is good reason for that. Keeps your feet warm, grip bottoms and they are waterproof! Plus you cannot beat the sale price. These are so impossible to even find in stock right now.
Pajar Canada Janie Hi 2.0 Women's Platform SideZip Boots
Beautiful slouchy black boots that come in wide and extra wide calf! Comfortable and beautifully made.
Kindre Wide Calf Slouchy Knee High Boot
Beautiful boot! Comfortable and are made in wide and extra wide calf! Love Vince Camino!
Lilibet Wide Calf Knee High Boot
Beautiful boot. Very well made and comfortable! Love the width of the ankle and it’s made it wide and extra wide calf.
Pavla Wide Calf Knee High Boot
Great quality, beautiful unique color, and a nice fit
Frye Faith Loafer Women's Leather Slip-On
Danskos shoes are always such good comfortable shoes. After walking all over the city i thought these may be good for nightcap at the hotel or breakfast. Just so Im not in boots the whole time.
Dansko Linden Women's Slip-On Loafers - Arch Support
I don’t care what anyone says Steve Madden always comes through. His shoes are always cute AND comfortable.

Winter Essentials
Everything you need to survive a New York winter….elegantly.
The most classic iconic scarf you could ever own. Of course it’s a need for New York!
Check Cashmere Scarf in Archive beige | Burberry® Official
There is one thing that I have learned while researching for our holiday trip to NYC and that is you need a puffer to the floor. Its waterproof and help blocks the wind and the only thing that will help keep you warm during winter.
Women's Max 600 Down Puffer Coat
Oversized wool blend coat so it’s perfect for over thick sweaters and will keep you warm!
AE Wool Blend Topcoat
Such an amazing coat! Warm and best of all reversible, so perfect for outfit selection!
AE Reversible Shearling Jacket
Fabulous pair of gloves. The leather is soft, smooth, and flexible. They are very well constructed, nicely sewn, and the braided detail is a beautiful touch. The lining is a short faux fur and it is very warm and extremely soft.
Harssidanzar Womens Lambskin Leather Gloves
Growing up I remember my mom always having a brown pair of these. When I was cold she would give me her gloves and I always thought they were so Rick and fancy and so warm. Lol so I have my very own pair now.
isotoner Womens Spandex Touchscreen Gloves
I have purchased a couple of these for both my husband and myself. Very warm and comfortable in sub-freezing temperatures. The merino wool is so super soft, and has a thin lightweight design that fits well under helmets.
100% Merino Wool Cuff Beanie - Warm Winter Hat
I’m just telling you, I’m not taking any chances on being cold! Best base layer there is. Can run a little big so I sized down. Very comfortable and very soft. I’ve purchased two sets of these for different trips.
LAPASA Womens 100% Merino Wool Base Layer Set
Marino wool will keep you warm! These socks are soft and comfortable.
Tough Land Merino Wool Knee High Socks 3PK
Travel Essentials
I’m a small town country girl. I do not trust a single soul in NYC and there is one thing about me that’s true. I’m going to be prepared to protect me and mine.
She’s Birdie 3.0 Personal Safety Alarm - Metallic Rose Pink
Safety first! Trust no one and that unfortunately even means hotel staff.
Portable Door Lock & Alarm Set - Travel Kit
Everyone under the sun recommends an umbrella but it’s honestly just for back up, I have a hood. Lol
