It is far too cold for the South right now.  Especially without the holidays to look forward to...nothing but cold, dreary February.  Personally, I have a hard time motivating myself to look cute and dress with a little creativity when the weather is so inclimate...But these Etsy picks might make the cold a little more bearable.

An adorable headband with a large, whimsical crocheted heart.  I would love this even more as a clip on barrette, or two as earmuffs!

While technically not something I can wear, my pup, Miss Busy, definately gets chilly these days.  I love the classic cut and blue color, but more colors, especially a girly pink, or a fun pattern, would be welcome.

I love headgear...hats, hairclips, barrettes.  It really doesn't matter.  In the winter, I love them even more.  This sweet, girly hat looks like it would keep my head pretty warm.  I just wish it didn't have these big, santa-hat pompoms on it.  Sometimes less is more.

A girl can never have too many scarves. Especially in February.  The chainlink pattern on this one is so unique! It looks more like a necklace than just something to keep your neck warm.  I wish this scarf was available in slightly more luxe yarns, though.  Wool isn't my favorite.  I would love a silk blend or kashmir.

Nothing is worse than cold feet when the rest of you is warm.  I love these colorful slippers...and they look very cozy.  I would love if these were made into booties, so the tops of your feet could be just as toasty!

WELL.

Here's to hoping that it warms up a little.  Until then though, remember that you can be cute and cozy.
