What's your favorite cold-weather going-out outfit?
"Anything that includes a blazer! Over a cocktail dress and tights, or with jeans and a T-shirt, a blazer adds instant class and polish to any outfit, for nearly any occasion. Not to mention it's a great layering piece that will give you some added warmth."

Tell us your secret for staying warm and looking cute in the winter.
"It can be hard to feel cute when the outfit you put together is hiding under so many (very necessary) layers. Doing something unexpected — like wrapping a belt around your favorite coat to create shape — adds personality and keeps the look from becoming too bulky. I also love cold-weather accessories, like slouchy knit hats and chunky scarves in bold colors. They definitely help you stand out in an otherwise drab season."
