items My Southern soul is not built for any type of extreme cold weather. I swear that my blood is a lower temperature to keep my body cool. That's how biology works, right? The only type of weather we have in New Orleans is extreme. This year, we got our ...

Layers, Layers, Layers!
All of these are going to be an investment, but a worthwhile one.
I love the length, i love the warmth, i love all of the pockets for all of the things!!! Cannot recommend this coat more. I feel like this will definitely be a “buy it for life" type of purchase. Roomy enough to add on top of layers if you want to.
Lands End - Women's Squall Waterproof Insulated Winter Stadium Maxi Coat
First pair of Blundstones, after taking note on what the rest of the crew was wearing on their feet. Will I ever wear another shoe? Probably not. These are the best, the most waterproof. I recommend buying their regular soles as well as the sheepskin...
Blundstone Women's Style 2241
I was so surprised to see these from Vans! A good handful of coworkers were wearing these very versatile shoes.
Vans MTE Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX Insulated Shoe
I didn't want to love these gloves because of the price, but worth it. I can move my hands easily, use my phone, and stay warm.
The North Face - Women’s Etip™ Recycled Gloves
Beanies always make my head look weird but not this one! And it's warm!
Knit Cuffed Beanie - Carhartt
You should change your socks at lunch everyday, but especially when it's cold. The moisture from your feet throughout the day will make you colder! Merino Wool socks are great because they absorb moisture. Bonus for this company because they donate s...
Merino Wool Socks
In my opinion, all of Smartwool's base layers are top of the line. They are very pricy, but it shows. They have a section on their website that shows items, including socks, for Resale, and we LOVE a sustainability initiative.
Smartwool Intraknit Active Base Layer Crew (deluxe
Very warm with lots of pockets. Runs big, but it was fine for me because I was layering. Loved this color!
BALEAF Women's Fleece Lined Joggers
I have had these forever and I LOVE them. Baleaf is such a good brand. They are comfortable and keep you warm, while also keeping you mobile.
BALEAF Women's Fleece Lined High Waist Leggings
This is a great, cheaper alternative to Smartwool. I've had mine for 5 years, and they've stood up. I love the fit of the top and wear it by itself. Honestly, next best thing to being naked.
Women's Base Layer - Thermals Set
I had to include this because I want others to know about it. My set wife came back from Germany with this sweater and it was the first thing I noticed. I had my hand on her shoulder and i was like omg what is this it feels amazing. She introduced me...
Carrhart WIP Colburn Sweater (EU Website Only)
Another work wife rec that she found in Germany. Still great, but not as great as the Colburn. But this one can be purchased in the US.
Carrhartt WIP - Women’s Eldon Sweatshirt | Black
A lightweight sweater with a merino wool base layer is perfect. I love this one from The Gap.

Winterized Gear
Essentials to protect yourself and your gear!
These insoles made by the same company who does Hot Hands really saved my feet and are so much better than the ones that are just for toes!
Insole Foot Warmers
Put these inside your gloves or your pants pockets.
HotHands
Make sure your laptop is as protected as it can be if you must have it out in the cold because the temperature can affect the battery. I found this out recently when my laptop just shut down out of nowhere. Simply having a case gives everything a bit...

Locations Dept. & Craft Services
Make sure your locations department knows that these are rentable from vendors. I didn't expect there to be as many heaters outside as there were, but we had so many! And they would completely defrost anyone standing in front of them.
TURBO KEROSENE HEATERS
There is nothing more comforting than this duo. Ask Crafty to make it for second meal and enjoy the warmth it provides to your SOUL
Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese
Another great soup for keeping warm.
