To all my fellow East Coasters, father winter is frostin’ our RearEnds, huh? I spent last Sunday exploring Brooklyn’s Atlantic Ave and boy o boy, was Mimi one fuh-reezing chicster! Well, I’ve decided that instead of pouting over icy temps, I would rather pour over the fashion angle. And shopbop’s recent SkiChic editorial provided the perfect inspiration for a winter wonderland-themed wardrobe.

Mountain Mama For a funky twist on cold-weather classics like duck boots and a trapper hat, add a punch of color with this pumpkin-hued messenger bag from Moxsie and totally on-trend denim shorts (GAP). Keep warm with cozy knit tights and a lux shearling topper. Ax and pick-up truck optional ;)

Ice Queen It may be frosty out, but this look is definitely hautehautehaute (I had to)! LaRok’s Eclectic sweater ain’t no ordinary fairisle, and thus deserves a pair of equally fancy pants. Though it absolutely pains me to endorse anything by LaLohan, these 6126 SilverStripe leggings are lodge-lovely! And every snowsuit needs the glam of Tory Burch puffer boots and glittering BR bracelets. (bag via Moxsie)

Skiin’ on the Edge Though it’s wise-thinkin’ to fear lookin’ Midwestern housewife in a puffy coat, this slim style from Eryn Brinie (OBSESSION!) is a more HighEnd version, with its banded elbows and double-breasted fit. Keep the ski-chic going with distressed denim by Blank and Tapeet boots strapped like a mother…O, and make like Mimi and try a headband alla fur (faux or otherwise). Talk about a haute halo!

Snow-bo Chic What makes this snow-bo bunny look so fly is its air of effortlessness. A little undone knit here, roughed-up shearling there, stack up some Juicy neon bracelets and VOILA– you’re the AOlsen of Aspen. We already know how I dieeeee for Carerra, so just save the lip and throw on these sunnies. And you try resisting J.Crew’s chic-cheap version of Chloe’s suede lace-ups!

Whether you’re knee-deep in the powdery-stuff or scoffing at snow from Florida, give your winter wardrobe a little (ski)lift with these après-pro looks!
