Winters in NYC are kind of flip flop. One day its below freezing and the next day its 55 degrees — I never know how to dress! The way I keep warm in the winter is layers. I wear tons of layers too keep warm, and if it gets to warm, I’ll remove a cardigan or my scarf!

kpenn Avatar

I keep warm with my new cable-knit circle scarf from H&M – too cute! I’m on the market for a great new winter peacoat, though, so if anyone has spotted a cute one, let me know!
I’m also a huge proponent of Second Cup’s peppermint hot chocolate…mmmmm!

Sandy Avatar

I spent a lot of time standing on my floor registers! And I have a heated mattress pad, which I use along with flannel sheets. When I’m so cold that even that doesn’t work, I sip a hot chocolate with a little bit of Bailey’s Irish Cream and peppermint schnapps.

Liss Avatar

Wearing a thermal shirt under all of my tops, a pair of sock and curling up under a throw with a hot mug of tea or apple cider is how I like to stay warm. There is nothing more perfect than that on a colder winter’s day. As for how to keep warm outdoors, I’ve yet to find a way. 😉

Ejaaz Avatar

Winter is pretty much the same as summer when you live on a Caribbean island. I don’t have to struggle to keep warm. I do love winter, though. I was born on a snowy December day in Georgia and have always appreciated the chilly winter months. Two words: sweaters and hot chocolate.

Ann Avatar

I keep warm by wearing cute sweaters! CA doesn’t get all that cold so I never need more than jeans and a sweater. Maybe sometimes on my down days sweats and a hoodie!
And scarves are a definite must as well =]

Claudia Avatar

I keep warm by having a very warm coat, and usually a scarf I made. Of late I get too warm, so I end up opening it up, which sorta defeats the whole purpose, but trying to stay comforatble is very important!

I would love to win this set, I have been eyeing it @ sephora, and haven’t brought myself to buy it.

meliestar Avatar

I just love playing in the snow with my kids but when I come home all I want is my fireplace and a hot chocolate milk. That’s how I get through winter.

Sarita Avatar

Well, I snuggle up with my real bunny, Pepe. He’s not really like most rabbits, he jumps up in bed with me and likes to sleep next to me. Okay, I have to grab him and pin him down because otherwise I won’t get my snuggles. I also like to just stay at home and watch HGTV and the Food Network and drink hot tea since or read a good book.

shontay Avatar

I keep warm by stocking up on cardigans and scarves. I also love my gap down coat and my miss sixty peacoat. I don’t usually wear anything on my head, but I think I’ll buy one of those hooded scarves this year.

Ebru Avatar

Moving to NY from SF – CA 4 yrs ago was a big change in terms of adjusting cold weather. To adjust to the new temperatures in winter, I wear ugg boots, wool sweaters and coats, cashmere gloves, scarf and a hat and a cup of Starbucks pumpkin spice latte 🙂

Autumn Avatar

I Love winter 🙂 I keep warm with having the fireplace roaring, peppermint scented candles, a knitted throw blanket and some hot chocolate. I adore the Winter season 😉

Vness_12 Avatar

I keep warm with LOTS of accessories….tons of scarves and hats (I live for hats). But living in NYC a pair of tights under your pants is GREAT for walking to and from the subway. That is my winter time STAPLE…and these “snowbunnies” would make it all complete 😉 *wink*

PICK ME Christine!!!!!

Brandy Avatar

Well when I’m outside I stay warm by putting on my leggings or my fave PINK sweats and a long sleeve tshirt with either my black or brown uggs. If staying indoors, I turn up the heater and cover up and watch movies while sipping on either hot cocoa or hot tea with honey.

Cathy Avatar

I keep warm in the winter with a winter coat that i got last year, drinking lots of hot chocolate or coffee and wearing tons of different kinds of boots! I love boots for the winter!

Nancy Avatar

Well I live in New York and lately it has Been cold these days. So try to wear a heavy coat with boots. To keep me warm because in the winter and fall I feel very cold all the time..

nihan Avatar

we don’t have a freezing winter in san diego but sometimes it can be really cold and nights are usually pretty chilly. i keep warm with boots, sweaters, warm coats, hot drinks especially coffee and my boyfriend :)) But grew up in a snowy country and i was definitely a snow bunny! i missed being a snow bunny but i like being sun bunny here, too 😛

take care christine

Vanessa Avatar

I live in California so the weather doesn’t get too bad during winter.. but I like to layer up with long sleeve shirts and scarves! I live in scarves during the winter! And, of course, I love a hot cup of cocoa during this time!

Colleen Avatar

sitting in front of the fire and drinking hot chocolate bundled up in a blanket. some fake uggs to keep my feet toasty warm and a big jacket!!! (REALLY hope i win this one….)

Ashley Avatar

It’s so cold where I live in the winter! Lots of layers, hoodies, warm winter jackets, snow pants, boots, scarves, mittens, hats, EVERYTHING for outside! And inside a nice cozy blanket and the fireplace 🙂 Sometimes a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows for a treat!

Ellen Avatar

My apartment is so hot I don’t need to do anything! The building heat comes on and it cranks! I need to wear shorts and t-shirts sometimes!

Large Skim Caramel High Rise from Caribou during the day…
at night I have my fat cat and my dog snuggling on either side of me keeping me toasty (and trapped!!!)

SD Avatar

Indoors, I keep warm by cooking 🙂 Steamy hot food is such a pleasure during those cold winter months.
When stepping outdoors, I usually layer & use scarfs.

LuvJ Avatar

It doesn’t snow in SoCal where I live but I definitely look forward to the nippy days and nights.. nothing like a cozy scarf with my jacket while walking around with my baby and pup, don’t forget the Starbucks Mint Mocha 🙂 mmmm.. can’t wait for holiday flavors!

Enna Avatar

I come from the caribbean and had to learn how to dress propperly in the cold weather. Ironically I can tolerate very cold temperatures without really feeling cold, can´t stand cashmere because makes me sweat….but wearing too light clothes in the winter can make you sick…several sore throats, one time bronchitis….so, lesson learned: LAYERS, you can take the light jacket or cardigan off if it turns too warm. SCARF: always use a scarf, keep your neck warm!
BOOTS: Pumps are cute but this is not the best time to wear them, at least not when it is really cold, having cold feet is like an invitation for a flu. Now I look cools ´cause I have my scarft always on, I ´m not trying to be chic…..just my throat is my weak point in the winter.

Sass Avatar

I go outside and run. I love to get outside and run in the cold weather – it warms me up in no time. Makeup enhances my looks, but working out enhances my body. I love Fall and Winter. 🙂

Jools King Avatar

Having fibromyalgia I have to be careful of draughts, so I have hooded cardigans, hot water bottles and a big snuggly fleece blanket oh and don’t forgert the ned socks lol :0) xxxJoolsxxx

tofupoo Avatar

im keeping warm by living in texas. its not even cold yet! 🙁 it could get a little bit cooler tho, and then it does i have my comfy pea code and superrr soft scarves!

Chapis Avatar

Scarves and Beanies!!! the best way 2 accesorize during the winter and keep warm of course 🙂 I like wearing bright colored scarves, just makes every outfit and coat POP. Beanies just look adorable ;p

Suzie Avatar

Winter always brings in a cool breeze so best way I stay warm is curled up in my living room
couch with remote in one hand fresh baked cookies in the other and a hot cup of tea, a good holiday movie helps too ^_^

Brigitte Avatar

I keep warm by wearing peacoats and scarves… though in California it rarely gets cold enough to do the whole shebang the east coast gets to do. D: And I love making tea/coffee/hot chocolate.

Audrey Avatar

Truthfully, it doesn’t’ really get super cold here in orange county. We do have the occasional cold front, but nothing major to to what the rest of country has to deal with. But when it does get cold, I bust out my roxy beenie, scarf, gloves, and uggs.

Jackie Avatar

omg i love those scents.. we just got those in my tjmaxx so i got to smell them all before they went out on the floor (working in the backroom is awesome!)
anywhoo, i cant stand the cold so i do a number of things to keep warm when i’m at work. tights under socks under knee high boots. then, a thermal long sleeve shirt under my short sleeve shirt under a hugeee unattractive hoodie under my spyder jacket. i just picked up knitting so i’ll get to make myself endless amounts of cute gloves and scarves to go with my horrendous oversized hoodie, hehe.
homemade hot chocolate or a nice warm pumpkin-spiced latte from dunkin donuts does the trick, too.. mmmm
also, when all else is failing, simple things like letting my hair down, doing stretches, rubbing my ear lobes, and keeping busy help me to feel a bit warmer.

samantha Avatar

I like to keep warm by
toasting marshmallows in a firplace with my friends and family
hot cocoa with homemadw marshamallows to go all around
and your favorite warm cozy and fuzzy pjs that look silly but make you so happy
keeps my heart and home warm!
<3

Living in Southern California, it doesn’t really get cold, but I usually just stick with my scarves, knee-highs, and bomber jacket! =)

Michelle Avatar

It doesn’t get very cold in the winter where I live, but when it gets pretty chilly, I love to wear sweater dresses with leggings. Something about leggings keeps me warm even though they’re not super thick and heavy.

Cat Avatar

I play ice hockey and our home rink is outdoor so during the winter it gets very cold. I always wear long underwear bottoms and tops, thin gloves and a hat under my equipment. After the game I go to my house, light the wood stove and snuggle up with my puppy :]

Mary Avatar

Warm robes, blankets, and space heaters! But I’ve lived in upstate New York my whole life, and by now, I’ve gotten used to frigid weather. Oh, and fleece socky things that my mom makes me help, too!

Tanya Avatar

staying in bed as much as possible and keeping my two dogs around me, they work just like little mini heaters 🙂 ok bring on the perfume winning…hehehehe

Crystal Avatar

I love wearing my softest scarves and sweaters. I’m planning on buying a cashmere sweater this winter, and maybe some more jackets-not that I need any! I also really love knit berets and gloves.

Adail Avatar

I keep warm with cozy slippers, warm pajamas, and a blanket. Basically, if I’m home, I’m on the couch under a blanket.

If i’m out and about, then it’s gloves, earmuffs, and a furry scarf to keep me warm. And winter boots lined with fur.

Mandy Avatar

Sometimes a scarf, a hoodie (must [:), gloves, boots, and a North Face jacket. But I’m looking to change to a peacoat before the winter sets in 🙂

baylie Avatar

I wear hats like nobody’s business. I have numerous winter hats, beanies, ear flaps, slouchy hats. I even tend to wear them in the summer just for fun but they’re actually practical in the winter to keep me warm. =D

Natalia Avatar

My hubby is what keeps me warm for the second season ^.^ also hot chocolate and a warm blanket are a close second and third and I am so getting those socks with the rubber soles for around the house, I miss wearing those =P

Cherie Avatar

Winters in Canada are very chilly and seem to last forever!!!! A scarf, toque and mittens are essential to keeping me warm. Sometimes I even wear leggings under my pants (even to work too, lol).

Oh, I cannot forget… copious amounts of hot chocolate + tea! 🙂

Amber Avatar

i definentally love my winter coat, scarf, mittens, hat, and of corse the cute winter boots that eveyone gets to wear. hate the snow and-30 love the fashions haha.

Patti Avatar

I keep warm with cuddly, gorgeous scarves – I must own about 50, if you count the silk ones! Winters in Utah can be brutal, so snow boots and wool coats are a must, too. But nothing keeps me warmer than a knit scarf on top of boots and gloves and a coat. 🙂

Corinne Avatar

Scarves! All of my friends know it as my signature accessory. I have tons of scarves and they always keep you nice and warm! OH! and a chai tea latte! warms up your tummy n.n

emyers100 Avatar

I keep warm with gloves and my winter coat. It also help to get hugs from my daughter, she is my world! My daughter so wants this set, if I win this, she’ll get this gift under the Xmas tree 🙂

Al-lita Avatar

I keep nice and cozy with chunky handmade knits….ginberbread soy lattes and peppermint tea!!! But the key is layering….just in case you wear too much! xoxo

kay_em24 Avatar

Winter in SoCal is not that bad.. So I usually go for boots with leggings and sweaters! =) At home, pj’s are the best with sweater, and of course with the heater on!

laura Avatar

This isn’t how i still do it but when i was in college we didn’t have heat in one building i lived in so we would have seances to keep warm, all those lit candles and a room crammed with giggling, screaming girls really got things toasty! lol

kelen Avatar

I keep warm by turning leaving my clothes on my portable heater while I take a shower in the morning..toasty warm when I put ’em on! During the day I have my cute goose feather puffy coat, gloves, and scarf from Express. =]]

liz Avatar

the boyfriend and i are long distance, but i keep warm while im away from him in the winter by snuggling with the build a bear he gave me under the NAP cuddle blanket he gave me! and of course, hot tea 🙂

Kajal Couture Avatar

I keep warm by layering as much as I can! I am cold on normal days and have to carry cardigans with me during the summer, so winters are brutal…and I’m from California! I stay wrapped up in sweaters, coats, boots, and when at home, my soft flannel blanket!

Lulee Avatar

my uggs! a cozy blanket and a heated mattress pad. i think i hibernate during the winter i spend so much time under the covers since i hateeeeeeee the cold!

Rosie Avatar

Various scarves, longer cardigans and sweaters and if needed a coat, switching from shorts to pants and wearing leggings, switching from Rainbows to Chucks, cheap gloves from Target that are super bright or hobo gloves. Also Mexican hot chocolate and chai tea lattes.

baybee415 Avatar

things that i keep myself warm and comfortable is scarf, jackets, sweater, hoodies, gloves, hats and hair down! and some food!! or just run a little bit to the bus stop!

Sasha Avatar

One of my favorite things about the colder season is wearing sweaters! They’re so cozy and I absolutely love them. I also have a thing for boots.. I’ve been wanting a new pair every month since summer ended! And finally, when it gets REALLY cold, I have to have a pair of earmuffs (and scarf usually) to wear outside or I can hardly function.

Alice Avatar

When I’m in Houston (my hometown), it can sometimes mean the sun does the winter warming for us and then it’s out with the flip flops and shorts! When I went to school in New York, it was all about layers and every winter accessory possible (scarf, mittens, earmuffs, leg warmers, boots, the whole shabang). Of course, I would most prefer just cozying up under my down comforter all day 🙂

lyn Avatar

I love keeping warm by cuddling in blankets! Its not so cold here in San Diego though so if Im out, its just a nice fleece sweater! Nothing like some warm soup and hot chocolate!

Sushi Flower Avatar

Indoors I wear velour or fleece sweats, slipper socks, and snuggle up with an electric throw blanket. I light lots of cozy scented candles, it makes it seem warmer and it’s as close to a fireplace as I can get in my apartment! Outside I wear my faux fur lined suede jacket, it’s so warm! I also wear gloves since my hands get so cold. I always bring with me either a cup of homemade caramel apple cider or get a Peppermint Mocha Latte at Starbucks. Yum!

VJNS Avatar

I cuddle more, tuck my feet and hands more, layer my clothing and double up my socks, turn up the heat and drink more hot liquids (especially chocolate!) Lastly, I think warm thoughts 🙂

Stephanie Avatar

When i’m at home, i keep warm in the winter by drinking hot cocoa or coffee and i never do anything without my fleece blanket around me. It’s so warm!

Krystal Avatar

My husband, my dog and I get out in the cold and go for a walk. It warms ya up quick! My newest addiction besides makeup is working out. I guess I’m trying to balance out an unhealthy addiction with a healthy one!

idkmybffrose Avatar

Without a doubt, I would freeze to death without my heated mattress pad. In combination with my faux-fur leopard blanket I can survive until the snow melts, which where I live can be as late as May!

Lyndsay Avatar

I keep warm a number of ways, depending on where I am and what I am doing. In my home, I sip on a lot of hot cocoa (loaded with marshmallows and a big blop of whipped cream..yummm) I snuggle up with my husband in the evenings. If I am going out, I have a few different coats that are warmly lined. I love wearing boots, heeled or flat. I also love those little hats that have the tassles by the ears, lol..they’re cute

Hester Avatar

I keep warm by wearing multiple layers. Thick clothes and sweaters don’t necessarily make people warm. However, if we wear multiple layers of different material/fabric, it’s most efficient.

Also, wearing scarf/gloves is good too.

Roseline Avatar

I keep warm by having a big mug of hot chocolate! YUM YUM! It’s tasty and keeps me nice and toasty. I also love white hot chocolate, or hot chocolate with whipped cream drizzled with caramel sauce =3.

Magnolia Avatar

How do I keep warm in the winter? I eat a lot of chili peppers! I guess I’m always a fan of spicy food, but come winter I crave it even more. Needless to say my boyfriend thinks I’m a loon, but it seems to work for me!

Lila Avatar

I love wearing fuzzy boots, socks, & my fuzzy blanket when I’m inside.
I have a super warm jacket that I wear when I’m outside, as well.
🙂

Valerie Avatar

It gets super cold here in the woods of Connecticut. I have several warm scarves and a couple of heavy coats. Indoors I have a super plush Victoria’s Secret robe…it feels so good to put it on in the morning…except my husband calls me “Nanook of the North”…funny guy, lol!!

Tiana Avatar

The best way to stay warm in the winter is with a G-ood cuppa cocoa, your Lil’ Angel to snug with, a Baby puppy, Love in the air, and Music all around you!
🙂

Michelle Avatar

I keep warm during the winter by wearing cute coats, boots, beautiful scarves and sometimes hats!
I also try to leave the house in the morning with a travel mug full of hot cocoa or coffee, depending on my mood 🙂
I love all the accessories I can layer on during the cold weather <33

landwhale Avatar

Hahaha…good question. I get really cold because i have so little heat retention ability. During my school days i used to wear leggings under two pairs of pants (yes real pants or jeans and i got away with it because i was and still am really skinny). I would strip off one pair of pants when i got to school if it got too hot. These days i still wear leggings under my jeans and from time to time i will wear two pairs of jeans layered.

As for the torso, I would and still wear up to 5 layers in combinations of tank top, t-shirts, shirts, vests , light jackets and finally my coat. Yeah. I’m weird but it works for me.

I recently purchased a goose down coat so this may cut down on all the layers.

landwhale Avatar

oh…and i also wear two pairs of socks…ahhah I’m the layering queen…and don’t get me wrong…I never look like im terribly bundled and i always do it with style.

megan Avatar

i also keep warm by wearing lots and lots of layers! i layer everything! i like to wear leggings under my jeans and i also wear about 2 pairs of socks under my uggs!

George Avatar

I always curl up with a warm mug of something and a cozy sweater ^_^ I’ve also got more jackets than I know what to do with, so I’m always wearing those out and about in the winter months.

Chrissy Avatar

I keep warm in the winter by snuggling on the couch with my little family and drink Nutella Hot Chocolate. Sooooo good. It’s a lil bit of heaven.

Dana Avatar

Where I live no one cares what you look like when its 40 below, keeping warm requires putting on as many layers as possible and than hopeing you can still move and see!! Picture the little brother in the Christmas Story, you look and feel like a marshmallow, but hopefully you are warm. Finally when I get inside, I always have a warm beverage in my fav mug to warm me up from the inside out.

Bonny Pesch Avatar

I don’t have to do a whole lot to keep warm in our winters. I’m in the deep south and winters are pretty mild. But there’s nothing like a hot cup of tea and a warm blanket to wrap around me when the weather gets nippy.

Catherine Avatar

I keep warm by drinking hot chocolate and going all out on the apparel 🙂 Scarves, mittens, fuzzy shoes (Emus), winter coat, warm sweater, cute hat, and nice cozy socks. I actually kind of like winter.

simplymaggz Avatar

What kept me warm this winter?

One number is my lovely boyfriend because his caring and a loving person.
Two, my baby bunny because its so smooth and warm when i hug it LOL.
Third, knowing that i have a wondering family caring for me and loving me unconditonally :]

Karin Kimura Avatar

I keep warm cuddling up to our five puppies. Two Westies (they are totally polar!!!), one Scottie, one Yorkie, and a minuscule Maltese.
Then we go to sleep in front of the fireplace, with a color-changing log, and a ton of comforters. Sleeping on the floor like this gypsy style is nothing short a golden moment.
