EDITOR'S NOTE
If January is one of your most-hated months of the year, we’re happy to present Freeze Week. We’ll be sharing all of our go-to products for feeling confident and put-together while braving the cold, spanning clothes, accessories, problem-solvers, and hydrating skincare. Here are some products I turn to:
This cozy sherpa half-zip from Lands’ End. It’s surprisingly easy to dress up.
These shearling loafers. They’re a bit of a splurge, but I love them more than my Uggs.
Some Oprah-approved lounge socks. I wear them under everything.
Classic Vaseline Lip Therapy. A cheap way I keep my lips flake-free.

Quince’s Cashmere-Lined Leather Gloves
Our Commerce Director discovered them last year and can’t stop raving.
At this point, Quince’s popularity for their affordable finds and eerily similar designer dupes is hardly shocking. But last year, our Commerce Director made a product discovery she was deeply impressed by. The brand’s cashmere-lined leather gloves are $48 (but look really expensive) and are effectively warm. She loves how sleek and design-forward they are, with touch-friendly fingertips for tech access. Whether you need new gloves or don’t know what to gift your MIL for her birthday, go for these.
Three Totally Random Things
Here are three random products we’re loving this week:
Warmies Manatee
If a weighted heating pad and a Jellycat had a baby.
Cushionaire Haven Clogs
A fleece-lined clog under $60.
Uniqlo Heattech Cashmere Blend T-Shirt
An extra-warm layering piece from the line our editors repurchase every year.
Take Note
One thing we don’t want to overthink: our workouts. Apple Fitness+ is a subscription that allows you to think less about what you’ll do to move your body by providing personalized workouts, like HIIT, yoga, and strength training. New sessions are added weekly, and even if you only have five minutes, there’s a guided workout for you. We also love that the more you use it, the more customized your workouts become. New subscribers can get one month of Apple Fitness+ for free.
