Thank you Responsival for partnering on this post. 

 

Oh hello Winter (officially tomorrow.) It's now time for a new season and new wardrobe, although really it feels like we've been in winter for a month or so already here in the Pacific Northwest. Between windstorms, rain and a wintry mix of rain and snow today, the need to at least dress like it's winter has been here for awhile.

With the official start of the winter season tomorrow, today (on the last day of fall), I'm sharing with you my favorite winter style essentials. Snow, dropping temperatures and après ski call for not just utilitarian attire, but also the best elevated essentials. 

This year my winter style essentials include beautiful gold rings, cozy and weather proof boots, warm puffer jackets, chunky sweaters, modern saddle bags, emerald dresses and elevated rain gear!
