The temps may be frosty outside, but what better excuse for canceling plans to Netflix and chill with your S.O. inside? Here are 8 irresistible indulgences we heart about this time of year.
1. Men's Flannel
Specifically, guys wearing said flannels. There's just something so ruggedly sexy about boy (or a potential boyfriend) in a lived-in button-up that has you dreaming of him chopping wood, even if he's never picked up an ax in his life.
2. Heated Blankets
Blankets are the definition of "snug," especially when you're cozying up with someone else underneath it. Bonus points if it’s covered in luxe (faux) fur.
3. Snuggly Boots
Summer is prime season for showing off cute footwear, from wedges to super-strappy sandals. But because of that, summer is also prime season for gross blisters. That’s not the case when you’re wearing boots, since you can double up on socks, or go for a pair with a fuzzy teddy-bear-like interior, without stomping all over your style.
4. Hot Chocolate
Everyone and their mother loves a PSL. But like that song you hear on the radio every five minutes, it gets old after awhile. Hot chocolate, on the other hand, never gets old.
5. Thick Scarves
Scarves are the cold-weather equivalent of sunglasses: They disguise the signs of a hangover and help you hide from your ex. That’s not even counting how warm and cozy they keep you.
6. Dark Lipstick
Nothing will make you feel like a #NastyWoman quite like deep, dark lipstick. Whether rich merlot is as crazy as you’ll ever get or you’re down for edgier colors like navy or violet, one swipe will bring out your naughtiest side.
7. Mountains Filled With Snow
Skiing, snowboarding, and snow! Seriously what could be more fun? You get to utilize 3 and 5 while on the snowy mountain.
8. Outdoorsy Candles
Candles aren’t exclusive to winter weather. But nothing beats the glow of a lit wick (or eight) on a cold, dark night, which only gets better as it scents your pad with a fragrance that fits the season.
