My favorite ways to stay warm this season.

Inspired by a friend who is going to work on the Iditarod veterinary team next year and wrangling horses in the cold, these are my personal favorite things to keep warm with this season.

1. Extreme cold weather flight jacket. This coat features a zip up hood that allows your face to stay warm as well as unzips so that the hood sits comfortably on your back. I bought this jacket to go skiing in and found that it is actually too warm to ski in. I don't know a warmer jacket unless you are willing to pay $600 for this

2. Fingerless gloves. You can wear these indoors and out with the ability to do anything... my personal favorite outdoors its fucking cold activity being smoking.

3. Extreme Cold Weather Military Issue Long Johns. I came across these because I had a boyfriend who was stationed in Alaska. I delivered pizza in these on very cold nights and wear them underneath my pants nearly all winter long. I really don't know how people stay warm without long johns. :) In fact, I need to get some new ones as mine have holes I have worn them so much.

4. Electric blanket. 'nuff said.

5. Wool socks. Mmmmmmmm.... warm.

6. Ear muffs. I find ear muffs superior to wearing a hat because they keep the dang wind out of your ears.

7. Faux Fur Bolero Jacket I wore this on my wedding day, outdoors in the winter (with my long johns underneath my dress!). I love it for a stylish dressed up look.

8. Vintage muff Another item from my wedding. I wore a muff many years ago and found them to be warmer than gloves. Of course the disadvantage is the loss of your hands but this accessory looks great for dress up.

9. Fleece pull over. I stole my husband's and I don't think there is a warmer article of clothing in the house. Love it!

10. Fluffy Siberian Husky. These dogs know how to stay warm. Every characteristic of their breed is designed to stay warm from the hair between their toes to their fluffy tails that double over as nose warmers. Mine sits on my lap and cuddles me in the cold. This dog does not require a pampered pooch dog sweater and is a great companion in the snow.

What's on your list?
