It should come as no surprise that my For You Page is full of trend reporting (and maybe a handful of puppy videos if I'm keeping it real). Most notably, there's one creator who has become a mainstay, and her name is Cat Ward of @glowupu. She boasts an impressive following of well over 200,000 people who turn to her to see which trends they should be investing in, so naturally, I had to ask her about her favorite winter items. She generously provided me with a list of the best finds Macy's has to offer, and I've rounded them up for you here. She delivered some incredible finds, including chic party pieces and on-trend barn coats that you need to see. Keep scrolling to shop this trend expert's must-haves for the season ahead.
