With the weather getting cold outside, all I want to do is stay inside all day wearing cozy pajamas and sipping hot cocoa. It's days like these that I love most! Here are some my favorite cozy items for these extra cold days ahead. They would also make great gifts for the holidays!

Sweater: Banana Republic (order a size up for a more oversized look), Jeans: Else, Boots: Jcrew (similar), Purse: Celine

Happy Monday all! Last year, I fell in love with this sweater from Emerson Fry and tried to justify buying it multiple times, but never could bring myself to actually do it. So this year, when I saw this similar sweater from Banana Republic, I knew I had to have it. The sweater is exactly what I look for in a great sweater – super soft and cozy. Banana Republic has surprised me a lot this season and I like it. The new collection has been full of neutrals and pieces that are easy to mix, match, and layer. These are the type of pieces I am looking for in my wardrobe right now! Be sure to check out Banana Republic's entire collection here and save 40% for Cyber Monday!

Plaid: Old Navy, Sweater: Target (similar), Pants: Seven For All Mankind, Shoes: Jcrew, Clutch: Old Navy

When it comes to dressing for Thanksgiving, I prefer to keep things more casual and think a cozy plaid is the perfect way to be comfortable and festive. I picked up this one from Old Navy and chose to pair it with a cropped sweater and my favorite leather-like pants for a dressy casual look. I love how the addition of the cropped sweater elevates the look and it has been my new go-to way to add extra layers without feeling bulky.

Coat: Forever 21, Dress: Fifth Label, Belt: Asos, Shoes: Jcrew, Purse: Chanel, Lipstick: Mac Rebel

I am in love with the oversize shawl coat I am wearing in this outfit. I had been looking for one for some time and finally came across this one. And, it is perfect! The quality is so good for the price and it quickly has become my everyday coat. While I have been wearing it daily, my favorite way to wear it is dressed up like this with a more structured dress. It’s just so lady like and chic! Have a great weekend!

With holiday parties just around the corner, I want to share a festive drink to add to your cocktail repertoire. Moscow mules are my favorite cocktail, so I chose to do a variation on this classic drink. I think of cranberries as the fruit of the holiday season, so I paired the two for a refreshing twist. To make, combine 1/2 oz cranberry sauce, 8 oz ginger beer, and 1 1/2 oz vodka, and top with a squeeze of lime juice. The result is a festive cocktail that balances sweet and tart.
