6 cold weather essentials
An anonymous person asked me on Tumblr what my 5 cold weather essentials are, so I figured why not answer the question in a blogpost. I know, I’m cheating a little here but candles improve any bad weather situation so they’re not necessarily a cold weather essential.
1. Double-breasted wool peacoat from Isabel Marant (similar here)
2. Ambre candle from Diptyque
3. Cashmere cardigan from Uniqlo
4. Lambswool scarf from Acne Studios
5. Black chelsea boots from Massimo Dutti (similar here)
6. Lip balm from Kiehls or Nuxe
Now tell me yours!
Lip balm is a life saver when it’s cold and windy! It doesn’t get too bad here but at our winter’s coldest I live in my wool coat + skinny jeans + Chelsea boots combination.
It not even as cold as it’s going to be soon and my lips are looking awful already. These are the only two brands that actually work for me. And yes to that combo, outfit sister.
Def a big knit and lip balm as you’ve mentioned. I would also add a good Pukka tea like Love Tea and a nice multipurpose oil for skin and hair. Maybe also big woollen socks?
Oh, I had never heard of Pukka tea before but the packaging alone looks quite promising (sucker for pretty packaging here haha). I’m usually okay with regular cotton socks. But might look into that 🙂
You have to try their Love tea, it is so good! Or their Triple Mint if you like mint.
I have the same jacket and I love it! I think a scarf is absolutely necessary – both for the wind and if it’s chilly inside. Also shearing slippers for home 🙂
I wear my scarf all the time in the office because the temperature there is so unpredictable. I could use a nice warm pair of slippers. Any tips?
