A few months ago, when we were still wearing short shorts (without tights) and hanging out on patios, ,??and??held their respective Holiday 2011 previews. I was in denial about summer ever ending at the time, so I refused to post about them, even though I really liked what I saw.Mac Mascara

But with the first snows having hit Toronto yesterday and Christmas just around the corner, there’s no point in denying the arrival of winter any longer. The good news is, there are some incredibly chic accessories offerings in stores that are definitely worth braving the elements for this season. So what shall it be – an animal print clutch from Banana Republic or a double pocket leather tote from the Gap? I say one of each, please!Benefit Makeup
