I also used this opportunity to look for possible gift items (for myself or someone else!) at http://www.dressve.com. Since I got two items from the website that I really loved (you can read more here and here), I knew that this was a worthwhile website to do my shopping from.

Cold Weather Essentials from Tidestore

Buying outerwear provides two-fold benefits: 1) it protects you from the cold and 2) it provides the finishing touch to your outfit. Indeed, outerwear like cardigans, jackets and coats have evolved over the years to include more fashionable options, aside from designing them based on function. Today, I am excited to introduce my partnership with Tidestore to introduce their Cyber Monday Deals for those on the lookout for Thanksgiving shopping deals. You can check out great deals on outerwear here: http://www.tidestore.com/h/Cyber-Monday-1/

When hunting through the racks, I have a few suggestions that you may want to consider: 

1. Type of insulation. Currently, there are four choices of insulation available in outerwear: wool, down, fleece or synthetic insulation. Every type of insulation has their pro's and con's. Choose one that is best suited for your intended use. 

2. Wind and water resistance. From where I am, we don't experience cold fall and winter season. However, a good outerwear that can protect you against harsh weather and natural elements is a must. 

3. Length. This can be chosen based on personal preference. However, a longer coat can provide more warmth while you are out and about.

4. Seams. Check the lining of the seams and make sure they are sealed. If you are buying online, check this particular detail. You would not want the wind to cut through the seams, which can make you extremely cold.

5. Hoods. Whether or not you have insulated hood, this is an important feature to have in an outerwear for protection from the cold.

Outerwear Must-Haves

It's officially the cold season! I have a love-hate relationship with cold weather because I am naturally a lover of warm weather. But I love that the weather is starting to dip because it signals that the holidays are almost here! Call me shallow or romantic, but Christmas is always a highly anticipated time of the year for me. In the past years, I have spent more time wrapping gifts for loved ones than caring about what gifts I got! And the prospect of that time of the year happening again makes it difficult to contain my excitement.

Another thing that I love about the cold weather? Donning fashionable cardis and jackets! Who can't be obsessed? These pieces are the easiest way to revv up an outfit, especially during cold weather wherein you only have as much options to style things up! Previously, I've shared my favorite scarf designs that I spotted online, which is another chic way to fight off cold weather by the way. This time out, indulge in some fashion-forward cardigans and jackets.
