7 WAYS TO KEEP WARM AND STAY ON TREND THIS WINTER

Master the art of looking great and keeping warm this winter in Queenstown. A guide to the best pieces on the market for style and warmth. The sun penetrates through the window of my office and the view of snow capped mountains in the distance call me to ‘come out and play’. Sadly I must work. I have a prime spot here with my back warmed gently by the midday sun and the heating on a constant. It would be hard to peal myself away from this warmth, knowing the bite of the air out side. Looks are deceiving. As we are experiencing sub zero conditions here in The South Island of New Zealand this winter, I have made it my mission to find the ultimate clothing that meets not only our need for warmth but our desire to look great as well.

HERE IS MY TOP 7:
