days like this in new york just make me want to curl up on the couch, stay in my pajama’s all day, pop in a hitchcock movie and call it a day.  however, unless it is a state of emergency, i’m going to work. successfully maneuvering through the snow-laden streets  of new york without falling victim to those deceitful foot-deep slush puddles is a nearly impossible feat. luckily, there are a few key items to make your commute much more pleasant.

la canadienne ‘secret’ over the knee boot

waterproof, over the knee and leather to boot (sorry i had to), these boots are great for trudging through deep snow   and slush. With a low heel and moisture-wicking, antimicrobial lining these boots will keep your feet dry without compromising your sense of style.

cashmere socks

my favorite indulgence. extravagant and practical, cashmere socks will keep your feet warm and dry, while adding a little bit of luxury to your morning commute.

just because it is dreary outside does not mean your outfit needs to follow suit (i am on a roll today!).  this robin’s-egg leather tote will add a pop of color while protecting your laptop from any freezing rain or cab splashes.

A favorite of Rachel Ray, this deep cacao blend is perfect for a cold morning pick-me-up.
