You know the saying "out with the old and in with the new"? Well, this does NOT hold true for your winter clothing. Please, keep the old. Actually, keeping the old is the most savvy way to keep your clothing looking as good as new. Simply layer some new pieces, like this cute striped tshirt turtleneck from Old Navy, under a jumper from your summer wardrobe to instantly spring you into the winter months. For your legs, get into a pair of thicker stocking tights and chic biker boots to get you to and from places comfortably and fashionably. This butterscotch colored overcoat is the perfect way to cozy up against cold. It is practical with the long length, formal enough for the office and fancy enough for a date out at night. A neutral colored bag will help tie your outfit together. Think about a larger carryall so you can slip a cute pair of flats inside for dinner after work or class. This pocketwatch adds a feminine flare to the menswear look, I have an antique one from my Nana. Winter is always a good time to keep the warmth of your loved ones close to you.

However, it can also be a struggle to find the right gifts for those you love. But don't fret, this Holiday Guide in NEW YORK Magazine takes the gold for the best, most diverse and well rounded treasure map. Check it out Here! The Gift Finder '10 will steer you in the right direction, even though, in the end it's just the most thoughtfully thoughtful thought out thought that counts.

This is a great way to be practical, despite the impractical weather. Freezing temperatures can tend to freeze your ability to stay chic while functioning normally despite the onset of winter. But this doesn't mean you have to lose yourself to the snow. Tight legging jeans, in a dark wash can transition you from work to evening to nighttime effortlessly. No matter the occasion, these somewhat pricey bottoms will be a staple in your winter apparel, giving you a second skin to bear the chill. A longer sweater-top, like this striped one from Forever21 looks cute just like this, or with a skirt and tights for a dinnertime look. Wrap it up with a cozy scarf in a neutral color and a puffy downcomforter-like coat so you feel like you never even left your bed. Fun brightly colored accessories can add a pop to your get up, even when your'e feeling not so sparky. Staying warm doesn't mean you have to give up sexy and sexy doesn't mean you have to bear all.

Keep yourself wrapped up with a neutral colored pashmina, and a longer dark cardigan in an updated material. Suede pumps and a red handbag keep this seasonally appropriate and festive for any holiday party. Watches don't have to be restricted to your wrist, opt for a ring watch so you never have to look too far to see when the clock strikes midnight.
