This time of year, whether you live in Canada or California, you need a few extra goodies to help you not only survive the drop in temperatures, but look gorgeous doing it. Our staff recommends adding these these top products to your SheWants.com Wishlist:
1. Rosebud Salve:
Everybody should keep Rosebud Salve in their handbag! It soothes lips and calms dryness & irritations (knees, elbows, etc.).
2. Aveda Hand Relief:
This hand cream smells yummy, helps dry hands and increases moisture levels.
3. Oakley Polarized Sun Glasses:
Sunglasses with UV protection, glare reduction and optimized peripheral vision are just as important in the winter as they are in the summer.
4. Ugg Australia Headphone Earmuffs:
Keep your ears warm while looking cute while experiencing great sound quality listening to your favorite music. Need to answer your phone on the slopes? Not a problem with these!
5. Minnetonka Classic Moccasins:
Keep your feet cozy with these moccasins after a long day on the slopes (or the sidewalks!)

Back To School, or BTS, Fashion is a huge deal for us girls since we want to make sure that we look perfect on the first day. Infinity scarves are a great investment since they can be worn throughout the year, especially when bought in neutral colors. For a BTS look, try pairing the scarf with an earth-toned tee and bootcut jeans.
Earth-tones are essential in a California girl’s wardrobe since they look great when accessorized, whether its a tee shirt or a sundress. Although skinny jeans are still popular, bootcut jeans are becoming a craze. Bootcut jeans are known for being extremely comfortable and flattering on all body types. For another BTS look, try pairing your bootcut jeans with a floral print top and cute sandals.
Floral prints look great on everyone, especially when paired with jeans or neutral shorts. When wearing floral prints, accessories are often not needed due to the bold flower pattern. In California the weather doesn’t vary much by season, however it is common to need a cardigan sweater at times. Cardigan sweaters are perfect in neutral colors for either a casual or a dressy look. For a BTS look, try wearing beige cardigan sweater with denim shorts and either feather earrings or “boho” accessories.
Whether the feathers are in your hair or on your necklace, they always make a statement. Boho accessories such as tribal printed bracelets, bold colored earrings, and statement necklaces are great for accessorizing neutral outfits as well. All of the looks stated above can be found for reasonable prices at stores such as Nordstrom or Forever21. No matter what grade we are going into this year, these trends guarantee an A+ in style.

Everything’s coming up in color this Spring…Even jewelry! This is the time to really shine with colored stones. Bring out your purple and green gems to wear with just about any neutral color. Your turquoise pieces would look fabulous with the color coral or visa versa.
This is the time of year to really enjoy your fun, festive, expressive pieces of jewelry…Why not?! Spring is the time to start fresh and be colorful.
Just remember, if it’s large or bright piece of jewelry, keep the outfit on the simple side or wear with monocromatic colors. Let the jewelry take center stage… with YOU, that is!
