My Favorite It Girls Agree: These Fashion and Beauty Finds Are Winter Must-Haves
Consider your new-season shopping list complete.
In case you couldn't already feel it outside, winter weather has arrived, which means I need to overhaul my capsule wardrobe and beauty routine. The light jackets and moisturizers I wore and used during the fall just won't cut it anymore. Instead, I want to fill my closet with cozy, hydrating essentials. I'm turning to my favorite It girls for the answer.
Winter's top fashion trends all feel especially wearable, so it's not a shock to see my timeline filled with insiders in chic cashmere sweaters, clothes made for layering, and plenty of sneakers. What's more, I can't seem to scroll for longer than a minute or two without seeing the triangle scarf trend at work.
