When you're in a rush to get dressed, an sweater that's not only cozy but will pair with anything is what you'll be looking for.

2. Puffer Jackets

I used to be embarrassed by puffer jackets when I was younger, and now it's my favorite part about winter. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd tell her to get a puffer and enjoy that extra warmth. 

3. Leather Separates

When the weather starts to drop, my leather pieces get a lot of love. Blazers, pants, jackets—all of it makes any outfit instantly chic.

4. Faux Fur

If it's fuzzy, I want it. In the winter all I want to do is cover myself with a blanket, and this is the closest thing that's also wearable.

5. Knit Dresses

When it comes to styling knit dresses, the options are endless. Take styling cues from Eliza and pair your dress with your favorite coat and tall boots.

6. Loungewear

It wouldn't be a story written by me if I didn't include loungewear. You'll feel like you're in pajamas but still look put together. It's a win-win situation.
