items Here's a few of my favorite things so far this winter. I definitely cannot live without a few of these, and they're all 100% worth the investment in my experience!!
A long vest changed my life this winter. Columbia is also fabulous, I’ve always loved their fleeces, outerwear, and trail shoes!!
Women's Pike Lake II Long Vest | Columbia
I’m on my third pair of these - in a long, long time, don’t worry. I will forever repurchase!! They’re so classic-looking and incredibly comfortable in the woods.
Women’s Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Amped Leather Mid Top Hiking Boot | Columbia
This embroidered corduroy hat had actually rarely left my head lately - I feel like it’s juuuuuuust put together enough
Men's Signature Baseball Hat
OKAY - I have two pairs of these. One that I cook in, and one I do not. Protect against spills, but you’ll rarely find me in the house without these during the cold season. They are, in fact, wicked good.
Women's Wicked Good Moccasins
The best sweater I own, and I’m hard on my things. Washes well if you wash it well. Lightly forgiving, elevates my fave casual looks. This + sweats is my at-home uniform.
J.Crew 2025 Rollneck Trade Cable Knit Sweater – Ivory, Classic Fit, Crewneck ME617
Another sweater favorite - LL Bean never misses. Truly. Washes well if you wash it well.
Women's 1912 Heritage Wool Blend Mockneck Sweater
I know the internet loves these, but the XL open-top is the perfect local travel bag. I packed all of our clothes for a cabin trip in this thing. 10/10, getting a second one for the summer.
Boat and Tote®, Open-Top
My favorite non-insulated jacket. This in any neutral, a white tshirt, jeans and ballet flats? Chef’s kiss.
Always Effortless Classic-Fit Jacket | Women's Coats & Jackets | lululemon
Very lightly lined - perfect for over a long sleeve on those overtly sunny, snow-melty days between the polar vortices we’re seeing!!
Rain Rebel Jacket | Women's Coats & Jackets | lululemon
Did I need another jacket? No. Did I buy this in January and fall in love? Yes. If you’re looking for a waist-length winter jacket, this is it. Light, soft, WARM. So warm I had to take a layer off. Beyond impressed, and it’s packable.
Featherweight 900-Down-Fill Quilted Jacket | Women's Coats & Jackets | lululemon
My forever favorite in-house water bottle. Take the straw out and it’s leak proof. Keeps ice in it for literal days - I tested it. Three days. THREE. Beats out my iterations from other brands. Shook.
Insulated Tumbler 40oz | Men's Water Bottles | lululemon
I have a previous colorway of this one, but it’s my favorite purse bottle. I have GOT to have a hot drink with me in the cold season, and this is my go-to. It closes AND locks. I’ve never spilled or leaked.
Lunar New Year The Hot/Cold Bottle 17oz | Men's Water Bottles | lululemon
A newer addition in the last six months or so? Worth it. This is my out-of-the-house bottle and it is STURDY (I’m a dropper) and it stays cold. The whole sip or chug thing is what lured me, I get so mad when straw lids don’t let you drink the last bi...
FreeSip® Water Bottle
Now this is a classic, and I recently found a beautiful, vintage olive green one. I had a navy one forever, and it’s just so functional. It is SO nice, easy to layer with, and has BIG POCKETS. Perfect for adventuring with no purse.
Women's Cord-Collar Waxed Jacket
A lifetime piece. My birthstone. My friend said to me yesterday that when she sees pearls she thinks of me. Elevates anything. 10/10
Premium Akoya Cultured Pearl Stud Earrings (6mm) in 14K Yellow Gold
I picked this one because it’s a fave, but honestly, any denim by Pistola is sensational. SENSATIONAL. Perfect balance of structure and comfort.
Lexi Mid Rise Bowed Straight Jean - Artisan
OBSESSED. Got it in three colors. This with a wide leg pant is my favorite thing, these days. Cute tucked in, too!
Long-Sleeve Mariner Loose T-Shirt | Old Navy
My go-to casual active sneaker. Walking shoe, activewear-as-clothes, quick grocery run… they're so comfortable, and they're affordable enough where I'm not stressed about actually USING them.
Nike Downshifter 14 Women's Road Running Shoe
COLD TIME MEANS MORE RAMEN - and this is ramen for grown-ups. I KNOW it's not 25 cents per packet, but you just have to trust me. Add an egg, some scallions, maybe some chili crisp….. omg.
Noodle Variety Pack
THAT OTHER BRAND… that costs a bunch of money… is not as good at this. I will stand on that soap box until the cows come home. Best dutch oven I've ever had. Holds heat so well, does bread so well, does soups and stews so well. Perfect and arguably e...
Essential Enamel Dutch Oven
We've officially fully moved away from nonstick in our kitchen, and this is the skillet we use the most. Eggs, steak, anything - except for tomato-based dishes. Sensational. The pre-season is great as well.
Classic Cast Iron Skillets
If we aren't using the skillet, we're using this. This sees pancakes, reheating things, runny eggs, etc.
Cast Iron Griddle
We love this dutch oven because it can be used over a literal fire. We have a fire pit out back with a grate to cook food on, and this is great for a summer kitchen gone rustic! Also great for things like bread and baking. This lid also fits on both ...
Cast Iron Dutch Ovens
This is my actual child. My prized kitchen posession. I've tested so many recipes in this, and, while there is a learning curve, it is actually so much better than nonstick.
