#1 The only pair of jeans you need this winter
Trench coat | Mother Hustler jeans | Gucci loafers, this year’s version | Striped tee | Phone case | Goyard tote
The only jeans you need this winter? Black ones! This time of year, a black or a black wash jean is pretty much a go-to. They’re slimming and they work with every winter sweater, coat or jacket you already have. It’s not often I suggest owning several pairs of black jeans, but this is an exception to the rule. See below for the best ones.

ALC Renzo — I talk about this one all the time. If you want a budget-friendly version, this gold one is really good
Eliza J is a favorite affordable brand, check out this, this and this

#4 Coats & Sweaters
Reiss coat | Frame jeans | Nordstrom cashmere stripe sweater | Boots | Bottega bag
It’s coat and sweater season, and here are a few favorites I’ve spotted lately
Coats: Love this new brown wool coat (I’d add this scarf). For a cool faux fur coat, look at this (it’s reversible), and for a lighter weight jacket, this one is a deal
Sweaters: Try this pretty light blue cashmere one, this new Rails cardigan, this best-selling Vince one, or this cashmere 1/4 zip. Nordstrom is having a limited time sale on their cashmere. Check out my cashmere sweater faves here

Top row: White boot with pearl heel | Veronica Beard cap toe | Snakeprint

Bottom row: Stuart Weitzman suede chelsea boot | Black chelsea boot | Staud Wally
#6 Absolute Favorites I Highly Recommend
Left: Pink sparkle button blouse | Mother Hustler jeans | VB blazer | Right: $50 cashmere sweater
I recently started a series on Instagram called my “Absolute Favorites,” and it has become quite popular! These are items I’ve personally tried and highly recommend. ICYMI, check out these two IG posts here and here. Below are a few items that are perfect for winter or for gifts.
The candle I can’t stop buying: If you want a candle that literally EVERYONE will love, THIS is the one to try. It’s a sophisticated, warm and unique scent that smells really good. It comes with a pretty label that can be personalized, and makes the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love. I have one in every room in my house, and can’t stop buying them!The coziest robe & slipper you’ll ever wear: There’s nothing better than feeling a little extra in the morning when getting ready for your day. A robe with cloudlike softness will do it, and this one is hands down a favorite! Pair it with these slippers — I’ve literally worn this pair every day for the last five years — they’re that good.

The #1 must-have travel bag: If you’re traveling anytime soon, this bag is a must-have! It is the perfect size, holds everything you need, and has a “trolley pass-through” that fits over your luggage handle — talk about convenient. Oh, and the price is really good too! I take this bag on all my trips. The best puffer jacket you’ll ever own: No joke, I wear this every other day this time of year … all the way through May! I take it on every airplane trip, and because it’s thin, you can tie it around your waist if you get too hot. I sized up so I can layer a hoodie or a thin sweater underneath. P.S. ound an affordable version here that’s AMAZING! The must-have cashmere hoodie: If there’s one sweater I recommend to everyone, it’s this cashmere hoodie. It’s the one I grab over and over again — it’s an absolute favorite! Not only is it super comfy, it also layers under every jacket. That includes a puffer, trench, longer wrap coats, casual jackets … you get the idea! P.S. For a limited time, it’s 33% off. Hurry!
