Hello, everyone! Halloween is over so it's officially Christmas season. Have any of you started listening to Christmas music have? I definitely have been *oops*. It is also freezing cold here in the UK. As soon as the clocks went back, I swear the temperature just dropped and it has been so so cold. I know I have been struggling with the cold weather as I am ALWAYS COLD! So I thought I'd share some tips on staying warm for the winter. It's basically a follow on from my post transitioning your wardrobe from summer to autumn.
I find that if I keep my head and hands warm, my whole body will feel warmer. I know that wearing big hats and gloves can make you feel like a big blog but you can get some really nice sets around. Apparently, you lose 50% of your body heat through your head so finding a style of hat that you like will keep you a lot warmer. Also, it means you won't have to wash your hair as often as you can hide it under a hat.
I don't know about you but my hands and lips get so dry in the winter time so I like to make sure I have a good lip balm and hand cream in my bag. It's also a good idea to keep a spare concealer or lipstick in your bag for a touch up if you need it.
For me, my feet are always the coldest part of my body and I get so grumpy when my feet are cold so I like to invest in a proper pair of boots to wear. If I know I'm going to get cold, I'll wear my Timberlands as they are so comfortable but keep your feet so warm. Also, if I'm buying a big pair of boots, I will size up half a size so that I can wear thick socks to keep my toes extra warm. A lot of high street shops are selling some beautiful shoes at the moment and you really don't have to spend a lot of money to get a nice pair of boots. I'm pretty sure Primark are selling Timberland dupes at the moment so check those out if you don't have too much money. If you do have a bit of money to spare, I'd recommend either Doc Martens or Timberlands as they will last a long time.
Oh I adore the Jack Wills coat! I wouldnt usually look in Jack Wills….I will have a peak next time as I am looking for a new coat and I love that one!!
I love the cost and winter accessories you are wearing. I agree with your tips especially about wearing a hat to keep warm. I have been listening to Christmas music too!
I don't wear hats–even when I was little and my Mom shoved one on my head–off it came. That said–I love warm and comfy coats!
Definitely agree on investing in a pair of warm shoes 🙂 Primark boots look cute but they don't keep your feet warm!
I love the high boots, but in AZ is always warm/hot so I don't have an option to wear them without my feet sweating.
Good shoes and hat are making my winter good. I also need to add a fine scarf and gloves. And I know what I suggest I live is cold and windy Russia.
I love everything with your outfit it is so beautiful and really comfortable. I love this season plus listening to Christmas song while taking your coffee.
I am yet to start listening to Christmas music, I prefer the up-tempo, anything less gets me into a depressed mood. I always look forward to the fall season solely for the festivities and layering up!
I actually listen to a Christmas carol since the first day of September. My neighbor started to play those Christmas carol and was able to listen to it every morning and every evening.
I'm always cold, so I layer AND wear a thick coat. Lol. I really love thencoat you're wearing in these pics. The colors are great!
I remember getting grumpy when my feet were cold too. It was trial and error to really find the best boots.
I really love everything about your outfit. It is beautiful and looks very comfortable to wear.
Love the styling of this one! I love the outfit, pretty and stylish. I definitely feel that I could pull this version.
I love these winter styles. Big hats are very important to me. I also love the high boots.
My favorite winter outfit is a sweater and thick wool jacket with a fun lining, jeans and long boots. So comfy!
But in all seriousness, if you dress warmly the cold weather isn't that bad at all. Layer up and especially get your hands and feet cozy!
