With the cold snap still raging, why not take advantage of this excuse to get glamorously warm? Here are a few tips to help get you started:
- opt for silk underwear: tres chic, and much warmer than cotton.
-cashmere or wool clothes are now much more affordable than they were before. To update this look and prevent it from becoming too "classic", try layering with wonderful fabrics and fibers like Irish wool, boiled wool or French sailor's sweater type thick wool.
-Think subtle colours like: oatmeal, chocolate brown and light gray. This year, creamy, peachy off-white light cream is in!
-Bright scarves to bring a pop of colour and warmth!
-Indulge in angora wool or cashmere socks in your winter boots. Your feet will thank you!
-If you wear a hat, it should match your coat or shoes.
And while we're at it, there's no better way to ward off winter's chill than to curl up with a luscious hot chocolate and an excellent book! Here's the recipe for a cup of the perfect french hot chocolate:
Break up a square of the best french dark chocolate you can find (preferably fair-trade too, but more on that later!) into small pieces. Melt on low heat, and add milk slowly. Stir. Cuddle up and enjoy!
