Edits list of 5 pieces that you need for winter to update your wardrobe.
1: The Bag
The backpack has made a comeback this year. Not only are they stylish, but they’re great for back health too. We all know that we carry everything we need, what our kids need and what we don’t need, and this often leads to heavy bags. A backpack will distribute the weight evenly over the shoulders, as opposed to one arm or shoulder taking the load. So, really it’s a matter of health that you buy a rucksack this season. This Reiss Iris Shearling Rucksack is black and made of gorgeous soft leather. This stylish bag has a drawstring top, folds over and secures with a gold metal plaque and popper. It has a single shoulder strap to the top and detachable double straps to the back.

2: The Fur Coat
Just as the name suggests this Furry Floss Jacket in Chocolate Raccoon by Unreal Fur is made from a soft modal blended fabric but has the same appearance and feel of real fur. Wear yours over your LBD for a sophisticated evening style or for a casual look with Jeans and biker boots. This will keep you warm all winter long.

3: The Boots
The biker boot is this season's choice for everyday wear. Studs and zip detailing make these boots even more desirable. Team with skinny jeans or add an edge to your look with tights and winter dresses.
