Personally, I find that winter is SO boring. I mean its drab enough with the snow so who wants to wear dull winter clothing? However, there is a solution. I started incorporating bright accessories into my winter wardrobe and it makes all the difference! Here are my top six accessories to spice up winter!

Bright Gloves
Winter gear doesn’t have to be dull! I love these adorable red gloves from Target. At $19.99 you can also pick up another color in pink, green, and lots of other fun colors.

Boots
My favorite fashion item this winter? Boots. I own tons of boots in different styles and colors and I love each and every one of them! However, my current favorite is the Dinka boots from Naturalizer. These boots are currently on sale for $119.99 and you can’t beat a price like that!

Red Ballet Flats
So maybe this counts more of a shoe then an accessory, but I’m going to list it anyways. Red ballet flats are my top pick for this winter. They add an extra kick to every outfit and you don’t have to worry about your feet killing you in heels. Target has some extra cute ballet flats for under $50

Cute Scarves
I love scarves. They are a easy way to spice up any winter outfit and who doesn’t love a chic scarf? What I love about scarves is that they are extremely affordable. Forever21 sells some amazing scarves for under $10 you can’t beat that!

Statement Necklaces
Statement necklaces are an easy way to finish off any outfit. Pair one of these babies from Fantasy Jewelry Box with a black dress and killer heels and you have a ultra chic outfit! The necklace does all the talking for you.

Fashionable Hats
I love hats. I could own a hundred of these things. And my favorite part? If I don’t have time to wash my hair I’ll just slip one on! Forever21 is fixing my hat addiction with a ton of hats under $10. For that price you can’t go wrong!
What are your must have winter accessories?

The brand new You Curl XL by Conair is one totally cool curling iron! It comes in box with a heat protect-ant glove. It’s a great curling iron and has alot of impressive features.
This curling iron features several awesome things like the swivel cord (which totally rocks btw!), four different heat settings so you can cater it to your hair type, and it also heats up within seconds.
It’s a great curling iron and I love creating different hair styles with it! It’s very easy to use and I really, really, really like this curling iron. It creates beautiful waves that are perfect for every occasion! You get salon results at home for less.
I do have one complaint however, and that is that I wish the handle was less bulky, but it’s ok. I still really like this curling iron.

Conair also has several new hair styling tools. I love the Conair Topsy Tail. It’s an all-in-one styling tool that creates multiple hairstyles for all hair types. If you can ponytail, you can Topsy Tail! The kit also features the smaller Topsy Tail Jr. which is perfect for detail braiding and weaving or just adding that finishing touch.
So, do you want to win a You Curl XL Curling Iron from Conair AND the Conair Topsy Tail?

Sometimes we need a little help in the fashion department. Thanks to these amazing products you can easily fix them with these simple solutions.
SummerSox
I love the barefoot look in pumps, but my feet get so cold! Thankfully SummerSox is here to save the day! Their unique socks provide a soft, comfortable layer between your feet and your shoe and allows them to stay warmer in the freezing cold. They are also a much greener option (YAY!) then other insoles because they are reusable. And they are having a awesome sale for 30% off plus buy 4 get 5th pair free so it is a great time to stock up : )
Bootstroot
I seriously hate wearing jeans with boots. Why? Because they ALWAYS bunch up and it looks really tacky and dumb in my opinion. Thanks to this handy little device however, your jeans won’t be bunching up anymore! I’m in love with this product! All that you do is strap it to your jeans and it keeps them from bunching up.
Invisibelt
Ever had that embarrassing moment when your jeans started to sag because you didn’t want to wear a bulky belt? Well, you can avoid that entire situation with the Invisibelt. It’s the world’s first invisible belt.
Scunci Hair Clips
I know that the Holiday’s are a time to dress up, but I hate it when I work SO hard on my hair and then it falls out. Well, your hair won’t be doing that anymore with the brand new Linziclip from Scunci. This amazing clip keeps your hair styles safe with this clip.
Dicks Cotton Sunglasses
And last but not least, be sure to add some flair to your outfits while protecting your eyes with these amazing sunglasses. Celebrities all over are huge fans of these sunglasses and we can see why! These great sunglasses are perfect for every occasion. These sunglasses are very well made and would make a great stocking stuffer.
What are your holiday solutions for every woman? We also love Softlips lip balm to help heal chapped lips!

Okay, our hair does so much for us, hey, it does! LOL! So why not thank it this fall by using Goody hair products that will make your hair love you!
Goody Ouchless Brush

This brush truly is ouchless! They don’t hurt your scalp or hair at all. Once you try them you’ll never go back to your old brushes!
Goody Ouchless Elastics

I have very thick, yet at the same time very fine hair. Therefore, I hate elastics that are metal. They just SUCK! And these elastics from Goody are amazing! They don’t break easily and they don’t hurt your hair at all. They are indeed ouchless! I think I’m in love.
Goody Simple Styles

Goody is bringing back Salon styles! With these new clips you can get salon styles for 90% off and at home! We personally love the Twisty Comb.
Goody hair products are available at Walmart stores nationwide.
The product for this review was provided to us free of charge for the purpose of product testing. This does not effect our opinion of the products in any way. We only write about products we personally like and use, regardless of how they were acquired.

Braids. They are EVERYWHERE! Red carpets, city streets, and this season’s ultimate accessory is practical and pretty and can be styled in numerous ways, from a French braid to a fishtail and everything in between.
But, if you are like me you don’t have hours to spend re-creating this chic trend like celebs Jessica Alba, Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson. Thanks to braided extensions, you can ad boho appeal to your hair for less time AND money!

POP Clip-In Braid ($9: ULTA and ULTA.com): No weaving knowledge necessary—the POP Clip-In Braid is attached to a small pressure-sensitive clip that can be added to your own hair as an accent, or to a hair piece or ponytail.

Hairdo 4-Braid Band Duo ($16: QVC.com): Say good-bye to bad hair days and hello to a brand new look with the help of these four-braid brands. Wear closely together for a smooth polished look, or separate them and go boho chic–either way, you’ll turn heads.

Dancing with the Stars Bellissima Braid Band ($10: Folica.com): This fishtail braided headband is easy to attach to any hairstyle to give you a fabulous hair accent in an instant.
