Every winter this is exactly what happens to me: I go into my closet to put away my summer dresses (sniff a tear away, so sad) and root around in my storage boxes for that cute pair of gloves I remember owning, or my favorite winter hat. THEN, I'll remember that I only have one of those cute gloves left because I lost the other one in an impromptu snowball fight last February, and that the winter hat blew away in the blizzard of '08.

I've never been able to successfully keep a set of matching winter accessories from one year to the next. It's gotten so bad that I get "back-up" winter hats for my birthday (ha ha, I lose those too).  So this year, here's my declaration: I will not lose my winter hat. Or winter gloves. Or my favorite scarf on the subway. This year will be my year.

To raise the stakes even higher, I'm putting it on this blog for all to see. If Public Shame doesn't work, nothing will. And oh yeah, here are some cute winter accessories just because...

1) Arm warmers for when you're typing in the office and your wrists get cold.

2) Ear muffs for those nights when your hair is too cute to wear a hat.

3) A scarf because, well, you need a damn scarf.

4) Sheepskin gloves (pictured) for looking good in a snowball fight.

5) A hat for when it's so cold, you couldn't care less what your hair looks like.
