While some people curse the end of Daylight Saving Time, I actually love the coziness of dark winter nights. Granted, I’m biased because I live in Southern California, where I don’t have to worry about shoveling snow or defrosting my windshield when it’s pitch-black outside, but I still maintain that winter has plenty of bright spots. I just pretend that I’m Cecilia on Svalbard and suddenly I’m obsessed with winter.
This time of year, I love investing in pretty clothes and accessories that can instantly cheer me up. Lately, three brands have been dominating my wishlists: Sézane, Dôen, and Hill House Home. I don’t usually rely on these labels for basics like plain white tees—instead, they’re perfect for special buys that can really elevate an outfit. As a bonus, Hill House Home is currently offering 25% off sitewide, so I’ve been very tempted to stock up on holiday dresses, cute PJs, and more. Scroll down to shop my favorite new arrivals from this trifecta of chic brands.
