Happy Halloween! Ok now that we’ve got that over with (insert mad rush of store employees spastically be-ridding the shelves of all evidence of pumpkin season down to the very last morsel of candy corn)…..and bring on the holidays! Okay but first, deep breathe. If you are reading this post I think is safe to assume you are a very busy lady and the holiday season only adds to your list of commitments and to-dos. In the name of being one step ahead, and ready for anything, here are 5 holiday season survival essentials that will have you looking and feeling your best for the craziness that lies ahead. Basically what I am trying to say is, if I were famous enough to have a subscription box, these are the 5 things that would be in it 😉

Sweater | Jeans | Booties | Lipstick (in “stiletto”) | Bag

Something Hydrating // We believe a little extra pampering goes a long way. Before the cold, dry air does a number on your skin, invest in a hydration mask to keep your skin dewy and vibrant. This one is tried, tested, and approved!

Something Cashmere // If you are going to splurge on something, why not make sure it’s both timeless and ridiculously comfortable. A cashmere sweater can be easily dressed up or down (yes, I’ve worn mine with jogger sweatpants), but if you can be cozy and also look great, it’s one less thing to worry about. I went bold with red since it is the trending color of the season, but the options are endless. If you are looking for a more traditional silhouette (mine is slightly cropped) check out this one. Here are some great options all $100 or less!

Something Practical // As much as we love our cute little booties, sometimes the season ahead calls for something a little bit more…. weatherproof? Without sacrificing style, here are some warm and functional that will take you to the bus stop and beyond!

Something Adorable // Ok really this is something to help on the 3rd day of unwashed hair – because like I mentioned, it’s the busy season. Confession: sometimes I put on my pom pom beanie in the morning and don’t take it off until bedtime 🙂

Something To Go // Because you’ll sleep in January….. until then, coffee.
