Ben-Amun Crystal Marquis Earrings
I don't tend to change my earrings often, but as soon as I do, I remember how much I like switching up my everyday jewelry. Right now I'm in a major ear cuff phase, but I love how this Ben-Amun Crystal Marquis set ($160) offers a touch of color with emeralds, my birthstone!

Freda Salvador Violet Ankle Boots
Everything Freda Salvador does is complete perfection. Did I ever imagine I would want blue snake-print ankle boots? No. But the execution is so stunning that all I can think about are these Violet low-cut ankle boots ($495) and how many times I'll wear them this Winter (and Spring, and Summer, and Fall).

Balenciaga Mini Bag
Even when the Winter chill starts to wear on me and I'm smothered in layers, Balenciaga's new crop of crossbody bags, like this sleek navy version ($1,635), will be that little bit of chic I need to polish off any look. And that's well worth the investment.

Sorel Snowboots
This winter has been suspiciously warm in NYC, which is only making everyone worry that a snowstorm is headed our way. I'm prepping in advance by picking up a pair of herringbone Sorel boots ($120), which are as stylish as they are practical.

Tibi Striped Sweater
There's a right — and a wrong — way to wear a crop top during the Winter. This cozy Tibi sailor striped sweater ($350) is certainly of the former category. You'll look stylish and smart, and not at all like you're dressing for the wrong season, when you add it to your favorite denim and a pair of over-the-knee boots.

Rag & Bone Abbott Wool Fedora
Recently, I've been obsessed with how effortless Behati Prinsloo looks in her fedora. She's a bohemian street style queen, and I love that she wears her caps with simple outfits too, like a tank and jeans. This Abbott Wool Rag & Bone fedora ($195) is the perfect shade.

Banjo & Matilda Sweater
There's no better feeling once the cold hits than curling up in a soft, cozy sweater, and though my closet may be a little full, I would gladly add this Banjo & Matilda sherpa knit sweater ($395) to my ever-expanding collection. The loose fit and shearling-like texture make for the perfect cozy-up combination.

Rag & Bone Belt
I've recently realized that belts are the one accessory I don't have nearly enough of. Just imagine how much more flattering my outfits will be with the addition of this leopard-print Rag & Bone option. Oversize scarves and ponchos, you may have finally met your match.

Fleur du Mal Floral Print Silk Kimono
Full disclosure — I wear boy shorts and a tank top to bed since I tend to get hot when I'm sleeping. But in the Winter, the chill gets to me as soon as I wake up. A silk floral robe like this Fleur du Mal design ($595) is perfect for lounging around the house late at night and early in the morning.

Zara Velvet Dress
When it's cold outside, I bid goodbye to my colorful clothing, but wearing a black dress doesn't have to be boring. I'm obsessed with the textures of this Zara sequined velvet dress ($129); it's eye-catching and festive without going too over the top.

Madewell Knit Tech Gloves
I have supersmall hands, which often makes finding gloves — especially tech-friendly ones — a chore. However, I recently stumbled upon this stretchy knit pair from Madewell ($35) that actually fits my teeny-tiny fingers. Now I, too, can stay warm while I stalk scroll through Instagram.
