Remember how I was complaining how hot it was over the summer period? Well now I’m complaining about how it too bloody cold. Here are my winter attire that are keep me warm and sane.
There no pleasing me is there. I’m the real life Goldilocks (without the three bears, obviously!) where I’m never satisfied on anything. It either too hot or too cold. But now I think about it, I rather be too cold then too hot. When the weather outside is bitter and the wind is howling, you can cosy up by wearing multi-layer clothes and drinking hot chocolate. Do you see what I’m saying here. I still prefer winter over summer. Yes I know I’m mad but if you wrapped up while outside and drink some hot drink, you’d be fine.
Well I say all this, so casually. But now we’re in January, temperature have suddenly start to drops. Another thing I’m complaining about – January. Yeah I hate January. I have January blues. The weather is always freezing and it just dreary bland month – especially after all the festivity of Christmas. Sometime I wish I can hibernate this month or scrub it out of the calendar.
Last week for example, the weather was so bitter bloody cold. The kind of coldness where it hit you to your bones. No matter now much layering you do – you’re still freezing. No sooner do you drink a cup of hot chocolate – you’re cold again. This was how it was for me last week. Waiting at the train station outside in the cold is never fun. It was even less fun for me as all my trains were delayed and I was forced to wait on the platform for an hour waiting for my next train. Just standing there like an idiot. Shivering and muttering under my breath on how cold I am.
Once I got home, I thought to myself – I don’t want a repeat of that. The shivering and muttering under my breath. So I brought a hat and dug out my new winter boots.
I never been particular fond of wearing a hat. I just think it doesn’t suit me and it always fall off. But desperate time call for desperate measure. This however I thought was quite cute with the owl print and it seem to be quite snug on my big ole’ head. It actually turn out to be a blessing as it does keep my ears nice and warm and provide a little bit of head warmth. Why didn’t I invest in one of these before? I suppose it something you learn with age.
These boots were a Christmas present from my parents. They went on a cruise to Australia last year and brought me back these ankle Uggs boots. I never been to fuss about the ‘uggs trends’. But I thought this boots were the perfect shoes/boots to wear to keep my feet warm and dry. They have a layer of thick wool inside which keep my feet snug in a bug in a rug. So mum and dad, if you’re reading this – cheers.
Those are my two winter attire that are keep me warm and sane. What are your favorite winter attire?

I love those boots! Nice and cozy! Boots like that make winter bearable LOL
Since below zero her having a good hat is important. Nice if it looks great. Don’t forget boots and gloves
You are so cute and I love your style of writing! Thanks for the recommendations! Love that hat too!
Good choices. I’m not really a fan of the cold myself, but its hard to beat a good pair of wool socks and a down coat to stay warm.
I must agree that I am not a fan of hats. I am, however, a fan of keeping warm on cold days and Uggs are a great choice! Knitted hats are very stylish and I like to coordinate mine with matching scarves a gloves.
I love those boots. I have a similar pair myself. They really do keep your feet nice and warm in the winter.
Great tips for keeping warm!! I love love your boots 🙂 I am not a winter person too.. so i follow your tips !! Thanks for sharing with us
I have a couple winter hats I love. Make sure you get some fun gloves, too! Your owl hat is adorable!
Super cute! I do the exact same thing, complain about the heat in the summer and freezing in the winter. I can’t seem to win! lol
Nice hat and boots! It is so cold now (actually snowing outside). We all need something that can keep us warm and sane. Enjoy the winter time!
I love Uggs too. I think I have 4 pairs. And I don’t even care if I’m too old for them (I’m 30), they are my comfy go-to boots! 🙂
Love your post! We are in Florida and we have not had a cold winter yet. But it looks like in a couple days we will get the coldest season yet. Love you boots nice and snugly.
I am FREEZING over here in Houston right now! I am not a fan at all. I didn’t pack right for this trip. I’d love some of that fluffy hat and boots. So comfortable and warm! I need that.
I love that hat and boots – they are so cute on you! The owl print is lovely! I hope that you continue finding some luck with staying warm soon! I have this super cute set of sock slippers that are so fuzzy and perfect for the winter weather. Those are definitely my go to when it is super cold!
That hat is cute! I live in knit hats and beanies during the winter.
These boots are great Christmas present. And i have one pair similar like these,
Your hat is so awesome! I really like your boots too.
I wear my Grumpy Cat hat a lot when it’s cold. I love it.
I adore your owl hat. I love being cold, so my winter attire consists of a thin cardigan and actually wearing socks.
You look so warm and cozy. Great for a winter day!

So many lovely cozy pieces to keep warm. During winter I live in my Ugg boots, not because they are stylish but simply because they are warm and comfy.

Ugg boots are all the rage in Winter here in Australia. I think that hat looks so cute on you!
Nice boots but they are very much so out of my budget.
I just ordered a hat from King Knits and it’s keeping me warm. Luckily it doesn’t get too cold where I’m at!

Love those ankle ugg boots! I find uggs are the ultimate cold weather casual boot.
I can almost not even think about winter clothing today – I am in Australia and it’s 41 degrees But in winter, I have to say the one thing I love the most are my fingerless gloves! I always have them on because my hands get so cold!
I hate the cold too! Hats, scarves and gloves are my friends!!! I definitely don’t leave the house with out my gloves, I find if my hands are warmer the rest of me is warmer too!

Beanies are great. I live in Beanies and Ugg boots during winter! I love the look of your beanie, is very cute!
I also love beanie. These hats keeps me going:-)
Your winter attire looks cozy, I wanted an uggs boots too, but since Korea wasn’t that cold like in the west a winter jacket, jeans and running shoes was enough to make feel warm during those winter seasons.
Girl, we must remain warm and stylish. I love your winter clothing

I love those boots! They look very cute and seem really comfortable!
I hate the cold and never really got the “Ugg” thing as they seemed overpriced but these look so cosy. I am a bit jealous.
Winter can sometimes be a pain when it is very cold out. I know your look will keep you warm especially your Ugg boots!
I love the hat, the owl design is so cute!
Stay warm!!! 😉

I’m definitely a summer person – I’m always cold and I hate it – and I hate wearing layers! Roll on summer I say!
I know how u feel . I hate cold! I know we all complaining about being too hot during the summer but I wish it’s so hot right now !
Great for a winter day. So many cozy pieces to keep warm in a winter days.
I can’t wait until spring, the winter is not my friend! I love your UGG boots. I’ve never owned a pair but I’ve heard they are warm and cozy.
I’m lucky enough to live where it rarely ever gets cold – but I love that hat!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great tips for staying warm! I am definitely not a cold person so I couldn’t deal if I ever went through a real winter lol

I live in a cozy sweater at home. I love them, and always keep me warm – its flipping cold here. As for when I’m out at work, or going out with friends, I really jumped on the blanket scarf trend because they are just so versatile and tend to dress up an outfit!
I love your hat. The attire looks so cozy and warm. Must be so comforting
omg i love that hat and those booties. it reminds me of winters in michigan. so cozy
Am glad that I live in a tropical island because if not I would be freezing to death. I like your knitted hat!
Aww the owl detail is really cute, and the booties are to die for!
It’s really important to have the right winter gear otherwise you’re going to end up hating the weather even more. I think these are all essential. I always make sure that I have comfy boots during the winter.
I live in Hawaii so there is virtually no winter attire in my closet except pants and a sweater lol. I can imagine a good hat and good boots would warm you up real well!
i love those boots. I lived in a very cold state for most of my life. I now live in the desert, and i don’t miss the snow at all.
So nice and comfy shoes. Loved them.
I love my beanies and scarf! I love the beanie look and it keeps me warm so much.

Those boots are definitely perfect for the freezing cold weather right now. Even though I’m wearing socks, I really wish I had a pair of Uggs to keep my feet warm!
That boots look so cute! We have no winter here in my country but I still want a pair of boots to keep in my closet. 🙂

I’m the opposite. I prefer summer. But, maybe I would like winter better if I had a cute hat like yours to keep me warm!
Hahaha I am the same way, its either too hot or too cold, I need some nice Spring and fall weather. Cute leggings btw!

I am loving this hat! So cute! I love having things that keep me warm in the winter especially a good pair of boots and a beanie:)
the boots looks very nice! i have one too! the weather in dubai now is crazy cold at least for me. me too! im rather feeling cold than summer hot in dubai and cant even go out. i guess i’m a brunette goldilocks!
I am in love with your beanie! Is that an owl? I love it 🙂
A good pair of boots are definitely winter essentials here in Ohio with the winter snow. I like to use my combat boots because they have great traction and keep my feet dry.
My friends out in Washington are obsessed with these boots! When I went to visit I definitely found them keeping my feet the warmest.
