As the cold winter temps set in, it's time to seriously think about adding more chunky sweaters, knits and thermals to your wardrobe. When shopping for winter essentials, I always make sure the garments I select have some sort of uniqueness to it. Just because the weather is dreary, doesn't mean your clothes need to be!

 Lately, I've been crushing on elbow patches. They make any outfit a hundred times cuter...and perhaps cozier. I scored this adorable skull elbow patch thermal at Kings of Cole earlier this fall. Which, if you haven't heard of Kings of Cole, they have the most ridiculously comfortable loungewear. They are most well known for their zipped hoodies and femme sweatpants, as seen on Khloe Kardashian and J.Lo. Trust me, you'll want these boyfriend-inspired sweatpants on your holiday wish list. They are so comfortable. I could live in them!

When it comes to winter, there are several tried-and-trusted style favorites that are must-haves for your wardrobe. So even if you are planning to hibernate this season, the items in my Winter Essentials Mavatar collection may change your mind. As a side note, all proceeds from this collection will be donated to NYC Coalition for Homeless. Let the holiday shopping commence :).
