Now that the cooler temperatures are here and seem to be dropping fast, it’s likely you’ve taken out all your winter clothes from storage. If you are feeling a bit bored or uninspired with your current pieces and wish to add some new and trending pieces to your wardrobe, you’re in luck! Our contributor, Chelsea Jackson of Hazel + Scout, is here with 20 stylish outfits that are perfect to wear this month (and all winter long).

I  don’t know about you, but in the last couple of years I’ve been really simplifying the holiday season. What used to be all about decking myself out in festive sequins from head to toe (didn’t we all go through that stage?) is now about comfortable looks that work for brunch, hanging out with family and idyllic winter strolls. During the holiday season, comfort is key and these 20 looks are perfectly suited for a stylish, comfortable holiday wardrobe.

Looking for a sure-fire way into the hearts of most of the ladies on your holiday shopping list? Beauty products! They're perfect for everybody because you don't have to worry about knowing sizes or catering to different tastes and who doesn't like to experiment with something luxurious?!

This year I'm giving AND asking for sheet masks of all kinds. They're my favorite way to unwind with a little bit of self-care because they're super easy, require minimal clean-up and they're the perfect way to try out different brands without investing in jars of lotions and potions. This Saturday Skin mask looks refreshing and brightening (which is perfect for all of those holiday parties coming up).

Aside from masks, you can't go wrong with Glossier! The beauty brand is a cult favorite and it's been everywhere lately. I can personally attest to the MAJOR obsession that is Boy Brow (see my review here) and I've got Cloud Paint on my Christmas wishlist. They'd make for perfect gifts too.

For 20% off your first order and free shipping when you spend $30 or more you can use my link to shop Glossier.

Whew... what a week! I hope you've enjoyed the extra packed editorial calendar lately. With the holidays coming up and our trip looming, I've been in overdrive trying to get everything crossed off my to-do list and that includes covering everything I want to blog about before the end of the year. In all honesty, I'm super excited to unplug for a little and step away from all the internet inspiration. Sometimes it can get to be too much and become a little crippling, you know?
