I Live in NYC—Here's Everything I'm Buying From Amazon Before Winter Arrives

Winter in New York has a habit of sneaking up on you. One day you're walking home carrying your blazer, the next you're wishing you brought a warmer coat. Cold weather is not my jam, so it truly pains me to know that these unseasonably balmy fall days are going to give way to wind chill factors at any moment. Since I'm going to Paris next week, and then straight to the West Coast for Thanksgiving, I need to mentally prepare for a return to proper NYC winter.
I also need to actually prepare. There's nothing worse than coming home to freezing temperatures, only to realize your cozy things are MIA. Right about now is the time for me to get ahead of shopping for winter necessities, but I have zero time to do any shopping that's not online. If Amazon is your go-to for one-and-done shopping, then these picks are for you. From in-the-know beauty products to editor-approved winter fashion (care of The Shop by Shopbop), here are some random bits and pieces that make winter a whole lot better.
