Top Your Head Off with Pretty Winter Hats

Your head is one of the body parts that need to be kept warm this winter because if not you might just get a headache! Or worse you'll end up with a cold.

The best way for you to protect your head is by wearing a hat. Now, if you think that wearing a hat is not fashionable think again! The trick is for you to find the best and most suited hat for you. There are lots of choices in hats for the winter available out there so you'll definitely find something. But I'm sure you don't have much spare time to go searching for the "right one" so here are some suggestions for winter hats for women.

One suggestion is the Shearling Sheepskin Bow Winter Hat in black, which features soft sheepskin wool inside to keep your head warm. It even has lovely bow on the side that makes it look really feminine. If you don't like that, there's the hip Nine West Hat Plaid Newsboy. This one looks like it can easily match with any outfit you wear this winter.

You'll never go wrong with a black hat and the Winter Romance Hat in Black perfect for that. This one features white speckles that makes it look like it has snowflakes, perfect for the holiday season! The Adrienne Landau Knit Rabbit Hat is also a very chic choice. Its fluffy feel and appearance are what makes it appealing.

If you're after a super sophisticated hat there's the Preston and York Josephine Faux Fur Hat which is made of faux fur all over. The winter leopard color makes it even more luxurious.

So if you are having trouble finding the perfect winter hat, you can start with these choices I've laid out for you!

Fabulous Winter Boots for Toasty Warm Feet

You may have your winter jackets ready but your outfit is still not complete without proper winter boots! Winter is all about keeping your body warm down to your tiny toes! So, here are some ideas for you to think about if you are going to buy some new footwear for winter.

First off is the Ensley Fabric Wedge Winter Boot that features faux-fur lining that will definitely keep your  leg warm. It has nylon upper with suede trim and a full zip down front for easy on and off wear! This boot is available in black but if you don't want black there's a Cobblestone Fabric variety available as well. If you're all about keeping your leg toasty warm, the Faux Buckle Wedge Boot is the perfect choice because it has fur wrapped all over it. Giving it some pizzazz are the buckle accents wrapped around the fur. The UGG Rosabella is also a stylish but minus the faux fur. It is made of soft suede and rubber outsole for comfort and style.

If you prefer booties for winter, there's the Michael Kors Women's Horwich Boot that features shearling lining. The wedge heel will keep you balanced even in icy pathways. The Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti Camel Embroidered Suede Wedge Booties are great options too! This has shearling lining as well but its body is made of camel suede. It has sort of retro look with its fur cuff and embroidered heel. But of all its features, I think the heel embroidery is what makes it a winner! But if you want something more feminine, the
Flower Garden Variety Bootie is the perfect choice! You can see why on the picture.

Knee-high boots and high heels are still in this winter. So for those of you who can never be comfortable without heels here are great options. First is the Nine West Women's Erynne Knee-High Boot which is made of leather and ma-made sole. There's also Jessica Simpson's Women Kit Knee-High Boot that has platform heels measuring 4.5 inches. It has a wraparound buckle accent at the ankle that makes it a winner!

Booties with stilettos are great sights to see in the cold days. So brighten up someone's day with the Black Suede High Heeled Platform Booties with Front Zip by Guiseppe Zanotti! I love how this boo looks with its sharp cut-outs, front zipper, and peep-toe design! It's truly sexy! It would go perfectly well with almost any outfit. Another option you can have is the L.A.M.B. Pier boot with its faux-shearling cuff and lace-up closure. 


These are lots of options to choose from! Choose the best to have the most fun time this holiday season!

Wrap Up and Warm Up this Cold Season!

The winter breeze must be chilling you to the bones by this time. Chances are, you probably aren't dressed appropriately for the weather! You need the right outfit to ward off the winter chill and that's why I've chosen some great choices that you might like. If you're the type who likes wool, plaid and faux fur then these choices are perfect for you! I've also picked out for those of you who like it chic or rugged!

If you want to keep it chic, the Faux Fur Jacket by Allen Schwartz is a superb option! It features a round neck and stand collar to keep your neck warm all day or night! It will surely go well with your favourite pair of jeans! Another furry option you can have is the Tie Dye Faux Fur Jkt that features faux fur on the lapel and cuffs. Now the tie detailing is what makes it stand out best of all! If you’re after a more formal look, the Alyx Capelet, Double Breasted Plaid is a great choice. It has a stylish shawl collar and dolman sleeves that make it look classy. It even includes an elastic belt to accentuate your tiny waist with!

Aiming for a rugged look? The Allen B Motorcycle Jacket w5522 fits the bill! It is made from faux leather and polyester and has full lining as well as heavily-stitched accents.

However, if you want to tone things down, there’s St. John’s Bay Knit Trenchcoat. It has cargo detailing that makes it look hip but not over the top.

So, which do you think fits your taste?

Chelsea Cat-Eye Sunglasses Now in Nude!

Finally, you can now have an alternative color for Nicole Richie's Chelsea Cat-Eye Sunglasses!Aside from black, this chic sunglasses are now available in nude! From the looks of it, this nude Chelsea Sunglasses is not made from typical materials. The frame is kind of transparent and glossy material. I guess it's a special type of material that's why the price is $149 for a pair. It's $10 more than than the black pair.

But this Chelsea Cat-Eye Sunglasses from the House of Harlow 1960 is a eye-catcher that's for sure. Nicole's been spotted wearing this particular pair as well.

Must-Have NYX Round Lipstick!

NYX is a cosmetics brand that is gaining popularity these days, especially here in the Philippines. Personally, I haven't had the chance to try any of its products but I sure would love to! I've been browsing some online shops that offer NYX products at affordable prices and I think I just found the perfect site that suits my budget.

The first NYX product I'd like to try is its Round Lipstick! This lip product has lots of positive reviews which makes me even more confident that I'm making the right choice in trying it out.

Anyway, I can't really go wrong with the Round Lipstick because it can be used all-year round! It is capable of providing a fantastic velvet texture and saturated color thanks to its mineral-based emollient formula. This makeup also prevents it from smudging.

NYX Round Lipstick is perfect! But the problem is, there are 144 shades to choose from!! And all of them seem like great colors so I hope I can choose one or several that suit me. Narcissus, Flower, Milan, Margarita, Sky Pink, and Watermelon seem like great shades!

Have you tried NYX Round Lipsticks? What's your favorite shade?
