Keeping Cozy

One thing I love about winter is when everything is cozy. Now, this doesn't happen every day. We don't crank our heat to the 80 degrees needed to keep the tip of my nose warm, and I'm usually in my frigid basement growing icicles. I hate heavy clothing and refuse to layer on socks and sweaters until I am an Eskimo (hey! I need to be able to walk around and do stuff! ;). But on other days, like today, the snow is falling gently outside; my dad is shoveling the driveway; kiddos are drinking hot chocolate at the table; and I, well...I don't have anything pressing to do. Which means I can stay in my pajamas as long as I want and curl up on the couch with a book. :)

I love cozy winter PJs (although I'll admit I don't have many that meet my high standards of comfort, warmth and style ;) - they're one of those simple things in life and every girl or woman should have a set or two. Here's some favorite lovelies I've been browsing - if anyone wants to send me a late Christmas present, I certainly won't complain! ;)

These beautiful ensembles are from Soft Surroundings, a company that specializes in romantic and unique clothing. I love the cozy two-piece sets here, and that robe...ahh. Glamour at it's finest. :) See all Soft Surroundings sleepwear and robes.

What could be more elegant than this romantic pink boudoir gown? Truly something that a famous literary heroine would wear as she went about her morning toilette. The white ensemble is fit for peasant or princess - just sweet. See all Victorian Trading Co. clothing.

These pieces are the epitome of old-fashioned grace and bring back memories of a simpler age. One thing I loved about the BBC's new production of Jane Eyre was all the sweet night-gowns she wore. These ones give me the same cozy feeling... See all April Cornell nighties.

Lastly, Macy's offers these fabulous winter ensembles at great prices - and so much variety to choose from! Whether you're a PJ or Nightie girl, there's probably something there for you. I'm eyeing the blue ensemble myself - love the glamourous vintage look! :) See all Macy's pajamas and robes.

Which are your favorites and how do you keep cozy throughout the snowy season?
