It’s December and Christmas is only a week away.  Although we love our  velvets, jacquards and sequins – sometimes we just wanna be warm to beat the December chill.  Today we are drawing inspiration from our favorite cozy and effortless ensembles via Instagram.  After-all December is a month that feels (and looks) like one long, extended party.  These looks are suitable for each and friendly fêtes, winter walks and cookie swaps.

Blanket-like things aren’t just for your couch — they also come in stylish-cape form, like Eleonora Carisi’s.  This burgundy number looks just as good paired with miniskirts and knee-high boots as it does with your PJs.

The jeans-and-sweater outfit — our winter go-to — can sometimes feel a little schlepp-y. Layering a button-up underneath your knit will add instant polish. For work, swap the trainers for loafers and you’re golden.

We’d have a pep in our step, too, if we were donning Valentina Siragusa’s outfit. Between her fluted skirt, metallic-gold Tory Burch crossbody, and Stella McCartney platform oxfords, there’s a lot to love.
